i have too experienced that with multi-month discount client approved for 6 month or for more period ads … its a good one.

m new (very new) to blogging and i was looking for that clicks tracking thing … i have heard abt oiopublisher ad service but its a paid one monthly for it and do not wanted to put some cash on it right now … Thanx for the plugin frd … its for 125 banner click tracking and can u suggest for text link (blogroll) ads click tracking ??

The Google adwords keyword tool trick is a good one to support n set the pricing ….Thanx

This is a great resource, Pat. I hear you about not low-balling it. I experienced something similar when asked to write blog posts for a software company -- I said $75-$100 each and they took it. It was my best-paying gig for a while. Thanks for the great info on adding advertisements to your blog -- and for the tip on the Wordpress plugin. Very helpful!

Wow, just printed this article out. such a handy piece of information to have. I am surprised you could even charge close to $200/month in the beginning. I was thinking $25/month max. Good tip with the Google Adwords, a way to give more info, guess it wouldn’t work if you’ve never had any ads on your site. I really like the contract idea. I never thought about that before but can easily see how providing a contract and offering click information could sound very professional.

@Jeff, Thanks! These are great points that should definitely be considered as well. Do you happen to have a link of one of your product/site reviews? I’d be interested in reading one since I’m not as familiar with that as much as the other types of promotional methods.

I'm really excited to try out that plugin. I'm definitely a ways off from earning private ads, but the plugin looks useful for affiliate ads as well. Start-Up´s last blog post..My Favorite Blog Articles of the Week

This is great advice and has got me thinking about monetizing.. not yet though I still need more exposure before the though really can cross my mind. You made it into my bookmarks of things to look back at in a few months though.

Great job again Pat! This was a good introduction to Online Ads. Just remember that when you’re doing your ‘sales pitch’, include your PageRank, and use some Alexa data about your site. The potential client will most likely ask this kind of specifics about your site, but as you said, it is all about creating that professional image.

As well, another crucial point is that you do not want to jump into placing ads on your site until you reach a healthy number of daily views, as well do not get involved with Private ads immediately… go work with Adsense, Adbrite, etc. this is the best way to build your experience and knowledge on CTR, eCPM, generating reports, etc.

I personally have been doing blog promotions/site reviews for almost four years now, and this is the least ‘passive’ method of all, but I find that clients are interested in this more… but I’ll stop here

Again, thanks and god job Pat!
