    This listing is for the web site http://obscuresound.com. All ads are SITE-WIDE. 3000 uniques/day, 18000 impressions/day, very specialized niche, and growing traffic the past several years. The site has been updating daily since February 2006, has amassed nearly 1000 followers on Twitter, and been mentioned in the New York Times, Boston Globe, Toronto Star, The Observer (UK), Wired, BBC Radio 1, Stereogum, and VH1′s Best Week Ever (see at the bottom of this post for links to these sources).

    I do not accept affiliate programs at this time, but text links and graphic ads are available. Feel free to make an offer of your own if you do not find anything you like below.

    In terms of placement, please let me know what you have specifically in mind. Keep in mind, you are not forced to choose between 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, or 1 year. If you specify a different amount of time (such as 3 months, 6 weeks, etc.), I can provide an appropriate price range.

    Here are the current standard rates for approximately 4-6 text links on EVERY PAGE. This is also equal to a 250x250 or 300x250 image advertisement (animated + flash IS allowed). These following rates are very negotiable; all ad locations listed below are found on the right sidebar, visible on every page on obscuresound.com:

    PREMIUM PLACEMENT (above-the-fold placement directly under "Affiliates"; no other ads will ever be above you)
    1 Week - $100
    1 Month - $300
    6 Months - $1500
    1 Year - $2400

    UPPER PLACEMENT (the second advertisement on the sidebar; the only ad
    above you will be one with premium placement)
    1 Week - $45
    1 Month - $160
    6 Months - $860
    1 Year - $1500

    MIDDLE PLACEMENT (directly directly below the eMusic ad)
    1 Week - $25
    1 Month - $70
    6 Months - $410
    1 Year - $740

    LOW PLACEMENT (directly below the 'Music Manifesto' ad)
    1 Week - $18
    1 Month - $50
    6 Months - $220
    1 Year - $370

    LOWER PLACEMENT (below RSS buttons and above BlogAds)
    1 Week - $15
    1 Month - $40
    6 Months - $160
    1 Year - $275

    BOTTOM PLACEMENT (below all other ads, but still on every page)
    1 Week - $10
    1 Month - $35
    6 Months - $150
    1 Year - $250

    Also, if you wish to put one link on ONE single page (Google PageRank up to 3), these are the negotiable rates:

    1 Week - $8
    1 Month - $30
    6 Months - $140
    1 Year - $230

    I prefer payments for all transactions to be completed via Paypal, though we can definitely work something out if you prefer another method.

    The 'nofollow' code will NOT be used unless requested otherwise.

    If you would like any information regarding the tracking statistics of Obscure Sound, please let me know.

    Thanks again for your interest. Do not hesitate to contact me at any time at

    Thanks,

    Mike Mineo
