A Little Heart to Heart Message To My Readers Regarding Advertising On My Blog

Hi Garry,
I do agree that what you’re doing here is pretty unique, compared to what other bloggers provide on their sites. Advertising is expensive, so I really think that your price of $5.95 is more than affordable, it’s a good break for those who are looking for a break as you mentioned. It must be tough however keeping up with making sure the destination links are good. Unfortunately I think you can expect that with anything you do, there’s always going to be someone who will take advantage and push it.

Keep it up Garry, your service is very well appreciated!

Hello Garry,
unfortunately my weblogs are in italian language, so i don’t think it could be any possible way to advertise on your website… by the way your approach to advertising is fresh and innovative
Cheers - Nicola

Garry, I have only known you for about four months now, but want to say thanks for everything you do in helping other people build their Blogs and give so freely of your experience. To any other new readers that don’t know you yet, I just want to tell them that Garry Conn is to be heeded, followed, and trusted. Six Bucks for advertising on a website of this caliber? Unbelievable! As soon as I have a product or new website that I want to hump I’ll be back to take advantage of your very generous offer. All the best to you. Dick Hillenbrand

Hello Garry

I was TOTALLY thrilled by what you were trying to do when you first posted and now I am even more impressed that you are turning down advertisers that may not be totally honest - Thank You! I want to take advantage of your kindness for my upcoming little Domain Name Brainstorming Tool (DomainNameStormer.com will totally free. ) but have to wait till I have it live and online and it has been tested a bit. I don’t want to invite anyone till the party is ready ;P - Thanks! again for making some space on your site for those of us who are trying to start something good and helpful. I realize you don’t have to clutter up your space for us

Sincerely, Megan

Garry,
thanks for your tip… i tested a WP plugin called Global Translator which works silently and smoothly, but translations ar no more than funny and also, i dont like my name translated: would you like to see a post of yours signed by “Gerardo Conni”? eheh
BTW which is the post of yours who are indicating me?

Hey Gary good to see some rooting for the underdog. I’m going to get a cool 125×125 ad done and I’ll be contacting you shortly. I’m curious are you doing this manually, or using a software to rotate the ads. I’m sure you’ll have all sorts of demand for this product. Any other requirements ie traffic figures and what not.

Hey Garry,

This is the reason I decided to go with your advertising campaign. Because I know I’ll be sitting beside other bloggers who are trying to scratch out an existance on the net, instead of fighting my way through hoards of get rich schemes.

I’ve never met anyone else that would decline advertisers based on what they were trying to get noticed, and that is the main reason I love this site. No nonsense advertising, at a price that the little guy (or gal) can afford, and placement in all the right places.

I wish more A-listers thought like you.

For the months that I have been reading your blog and working with you Garry, you’ve always given me good advice (even though I couldn’t afford to pay you) and you’ve helped me grow as a blogger in so many ways.

As for the ads on your site, I found three new blogs that I gain great value from and I had never heard of them til they advertised on your site.

It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out that if you wanted affiliate ads on your site, you would have said so, or done it yourself.

You really do try to help people and that puts you in a position to be taken advantage of. But you are still a better person because of your helping attitude. And, quite honestly, I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes new affiliates are DESPERATE to make money and will try every avenue.

Now that you’ve explained your policies, it should occur to EVERYONE that you are offering an advantage to popularize the advertiser’s OWN site and products.

Thank you again for all your help,
Brennan

Hello Garry,
tonight an email has dropped to my mailbox:

—
My name is XY and I am looking to buy links from good websites as yours.

I will be glad if I can have a text link or a text box 120×60 or 125×125 on your site. Please advise what what will be the price for each of these ads, if it is placed:

1. On your homepage only
2. On all site pages
—

So, what would should i do, in your opinion?
- Nicola

Hello Garry, i replied to that email with these words:

—
Hello Sir, thanks for contacting me.
I could place a 125×125 box in my homepage and also in all site pages, but please i would like to know more about your business: what exactly do you own or sell? I would like to be sure that your business is perfectly matched to mine, to get the most from advertising.

So, let’s see what is gonna happen….
p.s. XY it was just posted by me to hide his name here, he signed the email actually with a real name

p.s. i can send you privately the URL, you should try to help me understanding if it is a scam or not… i whois-ed the domain name and it seems registered 1995!
