AndrewE · 05-28-2008, 05:30 PM

Dear all,

I'm selling 4 exclusive 125x125 graphic banner ad slots on my WordPress powered arcade Craverz.com. This is a great opportunity to get some exposure for your site and to buy these ads while they're still cheap. Here are a few details:

Ads are...

displayed in the most prominent position (Sidebar Top Right)
displayed site wide: front page, all game pages, all site pages
limited to 4 ads only (no other advertising on the site)
rotated on each page refresh
served up by BuySellAds.com
$15 each/month

Craverz is...

a premium arcade with a unique mood-based game classification
just over one month old and gaining fast momentum
getting over 700 unique hits per day (stats by Mint)
getting 95% of its traffic organically from search engines
powered entirely by WordPress with an awesome custom design

If you'd like to purchase an ad, simply visit craverz.com and click on one of the empty slots. buysellads.com takes care of the rest.

Thanks for your consideration!

Update: Craverz has now passed the 1000 unique visitor per day mark and according to buysellad.com stats, each 125x125 banner ad would receive an estimated 46, 000 impressions per month.

Andrew, no offense but imo for your traffic levels and considering this is arcade traffic, your rates are way overpriced. I think you will find it difficult to get advertisers. Just my point of view as an advertiser.

AndrewE · 05-30-2008, 02:45 PM

No offense taken. I'm sure you are right, but I just feel like testing the waters a little more. Besides, google ads etc are so negligible that either way I'm not going to loose much. If it doesn't work, so be it and I'll try another revenue model. Right now I'm experimenting.

Andrew I am a little lost, were you not telling me on my thread that my Ad's were a little steep?

Though my prices were actually cheaper than yours... so that does not make a lot of sense to me..?

AndrewE · 05-30-2008, 07:02 PM

I believe you were asking between $75 and $90 per ad per month which seemed steep to me. Either way I don't really mind. I just hope you were able to sell your ad spots.

Hi Andrew,

Yeah, I seem to be having issues selling them atm but I guess when it comes to arcades not many people have a lot of money to spend...

The cost of mine was cheap in comparision to other arcade exchanges where they charge 0.30eCPM.

Hope you go well with selling your ad spots.

AndrewE · 05-31-2008, 03:14 AM

You're right about arcade webmasters not having much money to spend. That's why I opted for an adservice that caters to a much wider audience. I've used the same service on other sites and the general trend is that it takes a month or two to get a 'bite'.

Final update to this thread:

The impression rate for the ad spots on craverz.com has gone up to 68, 000 per month and I expect that to continue rising over the coming weeks.

In addition to this Craverz has just been featured on We Love WordPress, a showcase of the top WordPress powered websites, so rest assured that your ad would be displayed on a top class site!

AndrewE · 06-05-2008, 05:08 AM

Ok you know I said that the previous comment would be the 'final update'...I lied.

I'm still peddling my sorry ads, but you should know that Craverz is experiencing crazy growth. Uniques are now at 1700 per day, that's a 50% increase over the last 10 days. Estimated impressions are now at 80, 000...but the price per ad is still the same!
