Buying Advertising with Performancing partners

Posted by stuart as ,

Well I’ve taken the plunge and purchased a months advertising on a blog through performancing partners.

I bought advertising on a blog with a $15 price tag for the month, which I reckon was an absolute bargain, as the blog in question has a PR of 6, and a 3 month average alexa ranking of around 30,000.

One trap for young players is that the ads will auto renew, so if you want to only run your campaign on a particular blog for one month,you’ll want to watch this.

I’ve set the ad to direct traffic to a passthrough page which does an auto redirect to this blog, so I can track the traffic stats more accurately.

The sign up process was very straightforward, and I received confirmation that the ad had been accepted by the advertiser within the hour, although I assume that this will vary from blog to blog.

The ad is up and running now, so I’ll get back to you at the end of the month and let you know how it performs.

One thought I have had with the pricing set so low for this type of advertising, it looks like a good avenue for advertising affiliate landing pages. With a set price for a month, you’ll be in for no nasty AdWords bill surprises. I’ll look into this later today.
