Ad Sponsorships Now Available On FresheVenture.com – Banner Ads Start At $15/month!

That’s right – I’ve officially entered the world of selling ad space! To mark this special occasion, I will be publishing a full article series on how to decide whether or not your website is ready to sell ad space and how to do it. But for this post, I would like to introduce you to my special ad positions you can grab today!

Who Can Purchase Ad Space On My Blog?

I welcome sponsorships from any website that offers a product or service related to my blog. So, if you have a website that benefits Internet business owners, including ecommerce store owners, bloggers, affiliate marketers, etc, then please feel free to purchase a sponsorship!

How Long Do Sponsorships Last?

At this time, I offer ad sponsorships for up to two months. I also offer a discount for two month increments, so my $15/month banner ad is only $25 for 2 months – You SAVE $5.00!

What Banner Sizes/Positions Do You Offer?

I offer the following four banner packages:

Package #1 – 125×125 Sidebar

Your banner ad will be placed on my 125px sidebar banner position. All eight of these slots are rotated to ensure equal visibility for all advertisers.

How Do I Purchase a Space?

Purchasing an ad sponsorship couldn’t be easier as the entire process takes place right here on my blog! Simply visit my Advertising Signup page and choose a banner package you’re interested in. You will be asked to provide the following information:

Your Name
Your Email Address
Your Pricing Level (one or two months)
Your Banner URL
Your Website URL
An Alternate Text for Your Ad

Once you enter this information, you will be directed to pay through PayPal. PayPal is one of the safest methods of transacting funds online, so it was my first choice for my payment method.

Can I Purchase Multiple Spots?

Absolutely! You may purchase more rotation within each ad position (except for the 125px Package). If you want your ad to appear more often, simply buy all rotations and you’ll own the entire ad position!

So, Why Should I Purchase Ad Space On Your Blog?

I know how expensive purchasing ad space can be – especially on some of the top bloggers’ sites. Since my site is new (about three months old), my prices are low and very attractive! Of course, my traffic is also lower than the big guys, but it’s growing at a fantastic rate (my traffic increased by over 30% in August)! Need specifics? Here you go…

My Blog Statistics as of August, 2009

Unique Visitors: 5,000+
Page Views: 10,000+
Average Visitor Length: 3.5 min/day
New Visits: 71.57%
Comments/Pingbacks: 600+
RSS Subscribers: 300+
Twitter Followers: 1000+
Newsletter Subscribers: 200+
Google PageRank: 6
Alexa Ranking: 94,993
Technorati Authority: 26
Technorati Rank: 134,624

In my opinion, the most important stat above is the Page Views. On average my readers visit at least two pages on my blog every day. This of course means more page views for your banner ads!

How Do You Sell Ad Space On Your Blog?

I currently use OIOpublisher to manage my ads. It’s one of my favorite WordPress plugins! You will find the purchase process to be easy, quick and clear.

Will Your Prices Ever Change?

YES!!! As my blog grows, so will my prices. I hope to increase the prices this year if my traffic continues on its upward trend, so please be sure to take advantage of my existing offers!
