Online advertising is out of control! There are so many places you can pay to advertise it’s actually sort of funny. I have a nice way to get some clicks to your site. Now, I am not doing this type of advertising for this blog because the quality of traffic isn’t all that targeted. I have a couple of BANS websites that I would like to drive traffic to and with those types of sites, it doesn’t matter if the traffic is all that targeted. You just want to see traffic and hope it clicks through to ebay.
Projectwonderful.com has been getting bigger over the last couple of months at least. As soon as bloggers saw that Entrecard.com was using them and getting over $5 per day for their ad spots, many users went to PW in hopes of making some money from their unused ad space. The problem is that it’s really only some money. If you use the fund to spend on PW advertising than it’s no big deal, but without traffic you can’t expect to make much money from PW.
On the flip side PW has opportunities to get FREE advertising on websites that don’t set a minimum bid amount for that ad space. Sometimes this is done in hopes of increasing the bidding (more people will bid if the last bid was lower than if it was $5) the other half of time it’s a mistake when people are setting up their ad boxes.
What I do is make a simple 125×125 (I have some graphics knowledge) ad for my BANS site and look around for some FREE advertising spaces on PW. I place my bid for 2 days (the max for zero min. bid spaces) and see if I cannot get some clicks. I have just bid on a couple of spaces, on random sites, so we’ll see what happens over the next 2 days. I don’t expect to see huge results, but you never know. If you can get a 125 ad space on a website that gets 500 visits per day over the last 30 days you might be in for a surprise.
You really aren’t going to be able to get space on a site that gets 10,000 visits per 30 days because that website knows how valuable the space is. Just take what you can get, if you don’t mind making 125’s in Photoshop, you really aren’t out all that much.

I sense that Dan Kennedy is the very best copywriter in the country today. I recognize John Carleton is excellent and so was the late great Gary Halbert but pound for pound I opt for Dan Kennedy. I started off using the Small Business Marketing Toolkit some years ago and it demonstrated to be so effective that I purchased the licensing rights to sell it to my customers and we have never looked back, it is truely amazing for small businesses anywhere in the world.
Solid post full of useful tips! My site is fairly new and I am having a hard time getting my readers to leave comments. They are coming to the website but I have the feeling that “nobody wants to be first”.
