Advertizing Poll

[BIGCAT]

What would you pay if any to put your link on a website that caters to people looking to buy handmade candles and B&B items?

[KristinesShower]

Your numbers are pretty low for a poll on this subject.

I've never paid less than $25.00 a month for advertisement and paid up to $150.00 a month myself.

[KristinesShower]

Wait, I forgot - there is one that I pay $12.00 a month on. I just remembered lol

[Fire and Ice]

What site do you advertize on? I don't because I never knew about sites like this.

Fire:cool2:

WOW, $150 a month, Did you require so many visitors or something like that?

I think the most I paid for a month was over $200. I also paid over $100/month for a banner on another site, and as little as $20/month on a few as well.

[BIGCAT]

Dang, it costs so much to advertize

Yeah but think about if you don't advertise, what and who you miss?

Oops I'm gonna eat those words.

[BIGCAT]

This is true Scented, without advertizing one may miss out on the BIG ONE

[Scented]

Or draw in more attention. It's not paid advertising, but to have two articles in papers about the business drew in quite a lot of business for us at shows this year.

I do want to start advertising before a show, perhaps a special, perhaps just to say we're there etc.

Now that's not talking your banner advertisements you were referencing (guessing), but there are other modes of advertising. I'd rather be more in the public than confined on a screen which may target one portion of the population and leave out three or fourth or more others.

[KristinesShower]

I never advertise on a site unless it gets good traffic and they usually have to prove it to me. I always ask for uniques and page views before I make a decision and there is also a PR page on google that tells you what their ranking is.

Just for reference, here are some places I have had alot of success advertising on (success meaning alot of visits from):

candletech (woohoo! this one always tops my list)

makeup alley (I don't pay for this one)

rarebird finds

product linker

little black boxes

I also get alot of hits from message boards like the Dish, Bpal and Lush (LOL how funny is that)
