The John Chow Banner Saga Continues (sorta)

August 27th, 2007 | by Ryan Stewart |

To go along with what is, in my opinion, one of the best designed blogs on the internet, Tim Schroeder of eMonetized is giving four people the chance to have their own 125 x 125 banner ad shown on John Chow for free.

Tim says he’s been debating how to generate some buzz from this ad since the day he bought it, and while he came up with a few good ideas, this one is downright great. In fact, it’s one I wish I’d had when I decided to buy the large 300×250 ad from John Chow earlier this month. I’m sure Tim has already seen a spike in traffic that I saw after and during my ad flip (the second spike above came after a guest post I wrote for Shoemoney about taking risks and making money). The main difference is that while my traffic increase was great, I’m sure Tim will receive many more backlinks from his promotion than I did - a VERY valuable asset to blog growth.

I invite you to follow the eMonetized.com John Chow Banner Ad Contest Here. I know it’ll be fun to watch.

UPDATE: I Won! In a strange turn of events, I won the eMonetized.com 125×125 ad contest. Now I’ve just gotta decide on something clever to do with the ad for the day that it’s mine.

    Nice post. I was interested to see how the ad affected your traffic. I’m glad you put it up! It looks like you’ve settled in comfortably above your original audience.

    Thanks for the comment Kyle. I hope to see that line continue to increase over the coming months, but I don’t plan on posting every day. A few times a week is just about all I can muster at this point.
