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.

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.

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

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”.

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.

@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.

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.

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.

Where are the tacky orange signs?

(Have you seen those commercials, Andy?)
