Here's some current blog stats from summer and winter months...

Currently, There are FOUR GREAT WAYS to advertise:

1) SIDEBAR AD BOXES   I'm using Passionfruit Ads now for these ads.

 

2. Product Reviews & Contest Giveaways Hosted Here, Sponsored by You

Any business, vintage,  or handmade shop can request one of these spots. all items must be at least $25 in value and keep with the overall theme of my blog. 

How? I would not be able to review an organic cookbook, unless you are giving one away in a melmac mixing bowl.  I could not review a pearl jewelry set, unless you are giving it away in a melmac bowl.  See the theme?  There are ways around to make this work. Items should be G rated and blacklisted items include porn, gambling, cigars, you get the picture.

Product  Review Terms:  These can be done two ways. You send me a complimentary item to review (your cookbook in a melmac bowl), and I will do so including do-follow links to your sale page. This would be done in the form of a blog post.  I will give my honest opinion of your product and of course, the blog post stays on forever.   The second way is if you don't want to send an item, you can simply pay me $25 to do a review. It will of course be based on my personal opinion after investigating your item.  If it doesn't fit the theme of my blog, I may not be able to review it.   Both ways get you dofollow links within a blog post to your product page. I can also include nofollow networking links to your facebook fan page, twitter, or whatever else you desire.

Giveaway Terms: If you are having a contest, I can host it here, and it would be shared on many contest linkies, tweeted, facebooked, other blogs, and shared to death. Period is for one month.  You have to include something plastic and the value should be $25.  The better priced the item, the more entries.  I will determine entries and I will randomly choose the winner. An entry for them may be that they like your facebook page, follow you on twitter, or tell me what item they would buy in your shop. Hopes are to build customer views and relations. Winners tend to tell their friends how cool your item is , also.  You would ship the item to the winner and provide me with tracking information  Most times you will end up with 150-250 unique entries in the USA, or if you ship to USA and Canada 200-500 unique entries.  Canadian shipping is not that expensive so you may wish to consider including Canada for more success.  Cost to do this? $50, which covers my time promoting your contest for a month. 

3. Paid Text Link Within a Post

These are limited, and only $5. The goal is to help build backlinks. They are placed within a post somewhere and is a do-follow link, this is sold exclusively  here. 

 4. Ad Swapping Sidebar Ads or Posts

How This Works (Ad Swaps):  I am always interested in swapping ads if your traffic is similar and our target audience is the same - vintage, antique, collectible, art, design.  Contact me for more information (see below). 

How This Works (Blog Posts):  We can also post a blog posts about one another's site, if we are similar in overall theme. For instance, if you sell plastics on Etsy and have a blog, you blog about how cool Melmac Central is, and I'll feature your plastics on my next post.  Both posts should include dofollow links to one another's sites. 

I can also include nofollow networking links to your facebook fan page, twitter, or whatever else you desire.
