How Simple Is Your Advertise Page?
I had an advertiser email me saying that $50 for a 125×125 square on a sidebar was insane… I completely agreed. Until I found out that he was talking about my advertising page and offered me a much lower amount. I didn’t understand where he had read that.. but then I figured out that my Advertise Page made no sense.
My favourite quote regarding simplicity is:
When a design doesn’t seem to work, ask what should be taken away before asking what’s missing.
So I decided to do a little housecleaning and I think the results are a lot easier to follow.
This post was just a heads-up for your own blog. Is your rates and methods of advertising easy enough to understand so that a complete internet n00b could understand it?

Mike Arrington gets what - $10-20,000 per month per 125 x 125 ad? I’d like to be up there one day. Actually, make that ‘Soon’.

Gee, I never thought of an advertise page. I have a post about the attributes of advertising on a particular blog with a icon pointing to that post, but I can see how setting up a page would have been so much easier.

Ok now I have gone back and reread all the links llisted above.
Great advice but…. I was wondering………. Is it necessary to put your stats on your advertising page??
I have noticed that you don’t have any.
How does one know if their site is ready to start selling advertising?
