Long have I been thinking about it, long have I put it off, but I finally made my decision : you can now advertize here at AIFN.
There are several options to purchase ad space on this blog.
- You can use Text Link Ads (aff) to get a link at the bottom of each page. The actual price is $60/month, but I will raise the price to $100 on March 15th, 2007. My listing at TLA can be found here
- Direct advertising without go-between.
Use the contact form to drop me a mail. There will be 4 spots for a graphical ad, sized 125*125 pixel, in the sidebar on every page without comment block (directly under the subscribe block).
Related1 advertisers will get a mention in a entry, together with a short review of the service/product (around 100 words).
Graphical ads cost $75/month, $125 starting March 15th, 2007. If you pursue 3 months ad once you’ll benefit the $75 rate for all 3 months, so $225 all together. - Request a Review.
You can request a review of your product, using ReviewMe. Find my listing here ($130). You can also request a review using the contact form for $90.
Reviews will include a link (at least one), if possible screenshots or pictures and will be minimum 400 words. If I really like your product/service, I might even write several entries about it.
Reviews will be published within 72 hours after request. - Grab the Google Adsense spot with a graphical ad, sized 250*250 or larger (max. 340*280 px). Your ad will be featured on 700+ pages for only $75/month.
Your product/service will also be mentioned in an entry, and briefly reviewed (around 100 words) if related1.
Contact me to purchase this spot.
This blog is updated at least 15 times/month.
1 I will not mention or review any loan services, blackjack casinos and adult sites. Or anything from the same league.

Avi, I would even not consider doing it on a personal blog. Never have and never will!
Can you imagine ads on my other blogs? I can’t. But seen how this blog more and more has turned into a non-personal space… why not.

Yeah, but I think it would work for a professional blogger who writes a personal blog.

Hi franky
Been a while. I think ads on personal blogs are ok when placed in places the reader will not be annoyed by, i.e. sidebar placement.

Jessica, you it has been a whle, but I haven’t been the most regular reader either lately. Actually I even stepped back from blogland several weeks long, mainly work related but it still was refreshing. :-)
I guess the personal blog advertising thing is an old pet-peeve of mine. When I still bartended I have had the occasion to wear promotional clothes and get paid for in my free time. I never accepted it, I am no billboard.
But I agree that as freelancer, independent artist, things are different.

Yeah, I had stepped back for a while also. Offline life became more pressing to attend to.
Eventually I’d enjoy removing all ads from my site. They reside only in the sidebar presently and will stay there for now.
I wouldn’t want to be a billboard either. Good choice.
Glad to hear you are doing well. *hug*
