    It is based on the required location of the Ad.
    Please PM me your requirement, I will let you know the price.
    And, you can also suggest a price. If it matches with others, I will accept it.

    Only thing is your Advertisement should be genuine and the landing page should not contain any restricted content.

    Just I am giving below my estimation of the price.
    Anyway I am open for your suggestion and negotiation.


    For the blog http://qualitypoint.blogspot.com,
    currently, I am planning to sell one 125x125 slot for 18$ per month at top of the blog and for 12$ at bottom of the blog.
    It will be displayed in all posts (currently 371 posts). Most of the posts are getting good organic traffic


    Please let me know whether you are planning to pay per month or per year.

    If you are choosing Yearly plan I can give some discount.
    i-e 18*12=190 (instead of 216)and 12*12=120(instead of 144)
    I will be increasing the price every month as our blog traffic is increasing continuously.
    So, if you are choosing yearly plan increase in price will not affect you.

    If you want to show ads in the social news site (http://qualitypointtech.net/),
    Home page -http://qualitypointtech.net/ - 10$/month
    Links page- http://qualitypointtech.net/NewsFeed/view_allfeed.php - 12$/month
    News page- (e.g http://qualitypointtech.net/NewsFee...pdates-Cache-feature-Bulk-upload-and-New.html) - 15$/month

    eBook selling page (http://www.qualitypointtech.net/ebook/index.php) - 18$/month. (We are doing lot of advertisement for this page)

    And, I am showing 468px × 60px and 160px × 600px ads (they will be rotating) in many of the places (around 4 blogs, social news site and forum)
    I can quote price as 150$/month for both of them together. Currently I am using this slot only for showing our own ad. So, I will accept your ad only after reviewing your ads and landing page thoroughly, as it will be rotating with our own ads.

    And, you should be able to pay using paypal.

    Feel free to contact me if you need any details.

    Klo,

    Thanks for your suggestion. Actually I am getting similar suggestion from many people.
    But it seems I need to spent lot of time for changing the template. Because I manually edited the template many times for including many javascript sample tutorial in the blogposts.

    Based on my experience just changing the template won't keep these javascript codings.
    So, instead of spending time in changing the template in blogspot I am planning to move all the content to wordpress blog in my own domain/server.

    But, I am waiting for getting answers for below questions.
    1. Currently I am planning to host the blog at http://qualitypointtech.net/ . But, based on my current experience UP time of this server (shared hosting from bytehost) is poor comparing to the Google blogger. People informed me that they were seeing few seconds of downtime frequently. And, Server response time and load balancing also I need to consider. I don't want to give any performance related issues to our Readers.
    2.Since the current blogspot blog is having lot of backlinks, I don't want to lose them. So, I am planning to keep the current blog even after hosting the same content in our server. I tried to redirect the blogspot blog to our server. But it is showing warning message to the reader before doing redirection. Based on my Google search this behaviour can not be changed. I don't want to do this redirection because many readers will afraid to continue after seeing the blogger warning message.These things make me to keep the current blog as it is. But having duplicate content will affect my Search rank.

    Because of these two reasons I am keeping my plan on hold.

    So, currently I am having one option only. i-e I have to manually edit current blogger template to improve the look and feel.
    Please let me know what are the things I can do to improve the blog appearance by manually editing the blogger template.

    I think this look and feel issue won't affect the advertisement. Because my adsense eCPM is increasing continuously.

    Anyway, thanks for your suggestions.
