Feedback: Advertising on CostPerNews

A while back I have decided to purchase advertising on Cost Per News– one of my favorite blogs about affiliate marketing. My decision was not influenced by any strategy in terms of SEO or otherwise. I was simply grateful to Sam Harrelson for providing such a great blog.

Before I proceed any further I would like to assure my readers that it is not my intention to create hype of any type. In the past I have experimented with AdBrite advertising on my website. Every time some one purchased weekly (or longer) advertising on my website, I would send them an e-mail asking to install tracking code and after the advertising was completed I would write another e-mail to these advertisers asking them for a feedback. Needless to say that I have suspended AdBrite ads (at least for now) on this blog due to the overwhelming negative results my advertisers achieved. So if anything I like this to be a feedback for Sam himself.

While I have purchased only one week advertising on Sam’s blog, the results where great. If you have read my blog, you might remember I was trying to beat the the “Impaler” for the term “Vlad” in Google search results. This attempt coincided with the time of placing text link ad on CostPerNews. Just to clarify, I did use “Vlad” as an anchor text in the ad. So the progress in the Google was nice, in one week or so, my blog moved up to 11^th position for the term “Vlad” from about 600^th. Coincidently it stalled now at 11^th position after my advertising stopped on CostPerNews.

If you are writing about affiliate marketing or are affiliate manager(great place to recruit new affiliates) Sam’s blog can be just the right place to advertise your website. Check out the details about contributing to CostPerNews. It is hard to get a better deal than that!

P.S. I suggest you to hurry. Sam has not changed the prices since the creation of his blog. Cost Per News turned out to be a great success achieving PR 5 on Google and 200+ RSS subscribers in short few months, and there are good indication that current PR will grow with the next update.
