20% Off Marketing Pilgrim Advertising Rates - This Week Only!

I’m going to sound like one of those annoying car salesman you see on your local TV station, but I’ve decided to offer a 20% discount off our normal advertising rates for anyone that buys by the end of this week (Sunday).
We have a few slots available and I’d rather get them sold and not have to spend my time on them–busy, busy with promoting the new book.
What’s available?
Slots - 1, 4, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
So, "stop what you’re doing folks, don’t miss out on our biggest sale of the year!"

Where are the tacky orange signs?
(Have you seen those commercials, Andy?)

This is the first time I had thought to check the “normal rates”. My intial reaction, once I’d picked myself off the floor, was “wow”, how much?
Then I saw the stats - 800,000 page views in a month. That is staggering and something you are surely so proud of.
Congrats.

I may well be interested in one of the 125 by 125 squares but frankly speaking i have no idea how these would perform. It looks like they are quite popular with bloggers. I think i will go experiment but i might be too late for the 20% discount.

@Jordan - not sure I have.
@SEO guy - well, it depends on the type of service and the creative. You can try for a month and see how it works for you. The 125×125’s do also include an RSS text ad–which goes to 9000 subscribers.

Like PS3, I just checked the normal rates for the first time too. Should admit I was expecting them to be much higher after reading his comment. A 20% discount should make them pretty attractive. I think its pretty fair for the kind of pageviews. But I wonder how many clickthroughs these generate, considering most people, including myself, are totally adblind.

Are you able to give us a rough indication of the click-through rates Andy? Or is that a bit like asking “how long is a piece of string”.

@PS3 - it depends what kind of “string” you use.
Yeah, it varies based on the offering and ad creative.

I have started a campaign using Adtoll. Il see how that goes. If it works i might consider MP. Yet again. The demographics would be different. I guess the only way out is to give it a try for a month like you suggested.

Hey Andy, that amazing peel-down advert spot in your top right corner…is that a flash template or something your designer created? I’ve seen something similar on another site before - I think it looks outstanding.
