I have been shopping for ads the last 2 days, and damn its a nightmare here on DP. There great ad-spots here but the sales sucks. I have to write 5 PM's to get the complete info for an ad of 15-20 dollar. This is a waist of time for everyone. Here some tips for people selling ads, really wanna sell ads, do the following: Give the following info in you thread - Topic of the site - Amount of unique visitors - Amount of pageviews - Profile of visitors (countries, male/female, age) - Size of the ad - Location of the ad - Is ad rotating or fixed - Price per month (or other time if you offer more) It would be even better is there was a format like in link sales where you can fill these things by default so its more formatted. Love to hear other tips on how people can improve their ads in this DP thread
I totally agree! I buy a lot of advertising and traffic, but I refuse to PM anyone who cant give at least the basic info of what they are selling. The very basics of niche, traffic stats and ad position should be given, plus more, as you said, but I see "sales" threads daily saying something stupid like "selling links. Good traffic. Make an offer". No, I wont make an offer because I have no idea what you're selling. It would be like going to a store and all the canned goods have plain white labels saying "canned goods". Yes, I KNOW that, but what's IN it? lol...if I'm in the ad selling section, then I know you're selling ads, but I dont want to have to "open the can" (PM first) just to find out its not what I'm looking for. At LEAST give the niche, stats and price in the sales thread!!!!
Good so we got now: Give the following info in you thread - Niche - Amount of unique visitors - Amount of pageviews - Profile of visitors (countries, male/female, age) - Ad-size - Location of the ad (optional) - Is ad rotating or fixed - Price per month (or other time if you offer more)
Wrong forum. Geesh... This is for buying, selling advertising. Not for spouting off your problems and what you think should be done to fix. This should be down in the suggestions, general chat, anywhere but here.
My problem is the win for all poster (but I am not really objective on that). But opened suggestion topic and placed a link to this thread.
Dear webmaster This is so nice of you to provide info regarding real ads. I am purchasing ads from 5 years now and world is changing every singel minute, now these reseller are creating all mess. I daily check more than 300 niche for my add spot but just abel to find 3 or 4 best from it but i am glad that DP members sells so cheap that we can check all status by ourselves as we cannot let cheap offers by-pass. By the way just need to get along with the members as they are allways helpful by giving you extra month for your adds at there niche if you do that all by yourself. with regards Chicky
Its not gonna happen, this standard format. DP-owner says there to many advertising formats to make a standard. You you think there should be a standard format, you can join the discussion here.
