Partnering with ClickBooth.com to fill inventory on publishing sites.

After being accepted by ClickBooth.com I’ve placed on of their geo-optimized banner rotators on SiteSled.com.  After this runs for a few weeks I will post the conversion/$  data.

I must say that ClickBooth has a really nice skin on their DirectTrack software.  They have a lot of exclusive campaigns and the payouts look great.   You can easily talk with your represenative over AIM or other instant messenger.    We’ll see how the payouts look soon enough.

Adbrite Flat Rate Ad Sales Increasing

Well either it’s a run of good luck, or people are finally starting to use Adbrite. I had set the adbrite flexible text zones on sitesled to auto-price themselves. When the ad zones are sold out, the price listed for an ad on that zone increases. If there are no buyers the price incrementally dececreases. Those whole idea works great as long as there are a lot of advertisers looking at your ad zones. If there aren’t, the price will eventually decrease to $.80/month for the spot.

On Sitesled, the header banner for example, contains 2 text link spots. 2 weeks ago both were sold for $16.00, and the price raised to $32.00. This week someone bought the $32.00 spot with a “Reoccurring” ad. This means they locked themselves into the spot for $32.00/mo until I reject their ad. Unfortunately, one of the $16.00/mo advertisers locked themselves into a reoccurring ad, so now auto pricing will not matter because there will not be any available space until one of these advertisers pulls their ads, or I reject the $16.00 auto-renewal in hopes that another $32.00 buyer will come in before the $16.00 campaign ends.
