DragonBlogger is now Listed on BuySellAds

14 April, 2010 - 07:00 AM - 17 Comments

So recently my blog was approved to be listed on BuySellAds.com and I now am selling 125×125 ads for a starting price of $15 for 30 days. My blog has only been listed in the system for a week so the metrics haven’t fully caught up and accurately measured a full month, but they estimate pretty close to my unique traffic.

If you are interested in promoting your site or service you can purchase an AD on DragonBlogger.com. One thing I like about BuySellAds is the automation of how they handle the purchases, payments…etc. Of course I think you lose like 15% of the ad price in commission to the company, but if they get you ads that you weren’t getting by trying to sell yourself then it is well worth it.

I plan to expand and sell the 468×60 banner that sits right now at the top of my posts and promotes “MyLikes” and possibly opening up other ones in the future as my blog gains more traffic and popularity. I will wait to see how my experiment goes before I decide to add any more advertisements. I have noticed that some blogs are making big bucks from selling ads on BuySellAds and I have seen some bloggers sell 12+ ad slots for $100 each and have all of them sold out. This is $1200 a month income just from selling various 125 and 468 banner ads, of course these sites get hundreds of thousands of pageviews per month to command this kind of premium but every blogger strives to reap that much traffic that your site can command such a hefty price for advertising.

How many of my fellow bloggers use BuySellAds.com and how goes selling ads through them for your blog?

See, this is what is odd to me. My site Is much busier than that, gaining nearly 2,000 impressions per day. Yet, I have yet to be accepted. I wonder that that's all about?

I just tried to list a new blog yesterday and was rejected, they said minimum 50k impressions per month to be considered now.

Ya, but like is said, 2,000 per day. Maybe 1800 (I don't know the "average" I just know where it says around every day).

That's over 50k

Actually.. It may have something to do with age. My site is just 245 days old

Could be, open a ticket too as they sometimes will reconsider after the initial reject.

Leading to paid opportunities...by the way, the lowest is $10 which seems reasonable.

I started using BuySellAds a few months ago and its really cool...I have mostly been purchasing though, which has given me some great boosts in quality traffic(surprisingly).

Anyway, I suggest you lower you price a bit due to the little amount of impressions. I have found that people are not willing to pay much for anything below at least 20,000 impressions.

But hey thats just me. Good luck!

I will probably try that, lowering to about $5 next week. Does the extra traffic provide you with a good ROI? IE, do you have them driven to something they can purchase, or does it lead to more paid opportunities? In my case, I am very closely looking at items that provide the best ROI, and until I have a product to sell (my eBook I am working on) I am not going to be heavy into advertising yet. The visits alone won't translate to increased earnings at the moment.

Looking over their birthday infographic (http://blog.buysellads.com/uploads/bsa_2nd_birthda...), it's really impressive how far they've come. I actually got my advertiser account while they were still in beta - pity I haven't found anything to use it for yet :/

Yeah, some good money to be made through there. They take quality seriously, so getting in is quite an achievement - good going :)

They had rejected my blog for the first 18 months saying it didn't get enough traffic, so finally got approved. My other 2 blogs I didn't even bother submitting.
