Dirt Cheap Blog Advertising

As many of my readers have soon discovered, I fear not change. I change things on a moments notice. Without change you can’t scope out ways to improve. If after making a change and the effects go in the wrong direction, you can always change back. For the last week, I have been working silently behind the scenes on redesigning one of my other main sites, Blog The Internet.

This site gets quite a bit of daily traffic, around 2500 to 3000 unique visits which generate around 6000 daily page views, which equates to around 75,000 to 90,000 unique visits per month which generate around 180,000 page views. During holidays, such as last Christmas, it hits huge spikes in traffic. During Christmas just two months ago, Blog The Internet generated over 50,000 unique visits on Dec. 26th alone. During Black Friday and CyberMonday combined, 250,000 unique visits.

As the site gets rocking during holidays and also has a constant steady stream of traffic coming in… I really want more than that. The traffic I get to the site are what I call, “One Hit Wonders”. While this was formally planned, I really want more from the site than just being a connector site and today I unveiled a brand new Blog The Internet.

I am going to be blogging there more often now and over due time, I am slowly going to migrate my efforts over to that site and very very slowly phase out Garry Conn dot Com. Don’t worry folks, it will happen so slowly and so naturally, one day you’ll even ask yourself, “When did I stop reading Garry’s stuff on Garry Conn dot Com and start reading his stuff on Blog The Internet?”

Eventually, Blog The Internet will become my flagship site. I really enjoy everything that I have built here on Garry Conn dot Com, but some where deep inside, it kind of bothers me that I chose to use my personal name as the main blog and not something else. I have had Blog The Internet since Sept. of 2005 and its a very popular blog. It does extremely well in the search engines and has a ton of traffic coming in. Currently, it also has a PageRank of PR4.

My focus will be to start providing more rich content on that blog, just as you would find here on GCDC. Also, another huge focus I have is converting all these “One Hit Wonder” search engine traffic into “Regular Reader” traffic. If I do that, then almost instantly this site will have a huge explosive growth rate.

The reason why I have invested so much energy and time into Blog The Internet is the fact that it is established and gets a lot of traffic. The only problem I have with the site is that it doesn’t retain readership. Up until now, that hasn’t been a problem. But I realize that I can make a lot more money from a site that has regular readers versus a site that has a ton of one hit wonders.

The huge advantage I have now with the site is the fact that I have a constant flow of incoming traffic. My only challenge with Blog The Internet is converting visitors into life long readers.

Three nights ago, I wrote a post that explained how I feel that there is a huge demand to accommodate ad space for advertisers and that many of the leading blogs have back orders to fulfill. The new Blog The Internet will really be one of my first project sites that attempts to capitalize on this private ad sales market. Because Blog The Internet is new to the private sales market, I have priced out my ad space at an extremely affordable price. So, if you’re looking for dirt cheap blog advertising and want to get the MOST out of your advertising dollar… you might not want to pass up this huge opportunity to advertise your blog, business, product, service or website on Blog The Internet. It has tons of traffic and it will quickly start to retain a huge amount of readers. Here is a summary of the ad spots I have available: (you can also read the full advertisement page)
