Giving away free ad spots! ($100 worth!)

Posted: 3:53 am by tom in Blog

This may be the most unprofessional post I’ll ever make, but here goes… I’m going to give away the four ad spots on this blog for absolutely nothing! Why? Well to be perfectly honest with you it’s because it looks unprofessional having ‘buy me’ images on the site. The only thing is that I’m not meant to tell you readers that. I’m meant to fill the spots privately, appearing professional and ‘in demand’ in order to secure actual advertisers. However, I figured why bother filling the spots with useless temporary images when I could be driving traffic to my loyal readers?

Of course, I couldn’t be quite that nice ;). I’m going to give away the ad spots in traditional contest form. You must post a review or article about this website in order to win an ad spot. Don’t worry about ‘possibly’ winning though, as this contest works on a first come, first serve basis. If you are one of the first four people to post about Push Standards you WILL win an advertising spot.

The only rules are:

Your site must be somehow related to technology, blogging or webdesign - something that would interest my visitors.

Your post must be positive about this website.

Your ad will remain on the site until it is eventually replaced by a paying advertiser. The last winner of an ad spot will be the first to be replaced, and the first winner the last to be replaced.

‘Paying advertisers’ includes the winner of my previous contest for 1 ad spot + $25 cash.

You are not eligible to enter this contest if you have already posted an article about PushStandards (sorry).

Please post a link to your article in the comments to this post and I’ll be in touch to collect your advert and website details.

Oh and a note for any potential advertisers who wish to purchase a more secure ad space. I will be posting traffic details soon, but so far the figures are shockingly good!
