EpicAdvice.com – The Blog! No sir, thats Mr. Coffee. This is the blog…

Advertising, ProjectWonderful and World of Warcraft Bloggers!

Been a while since I've written a blog post, which I promise I am trying hard to find time to write more about the events surrounding EpicAdvice.com and our small network we are working to establish. Its been an incredibly busy time since the holidays and we are working very hard to improve upon our site, as well as bring a few new sites online in the coming months.

Anyways, onto...

ProjectWonderful.com

As you may have noticed, we are now using ProjectWonderful for all of our advertising needs. This is an experiment we hope many of you will join in with us! First off, a bit about ProjectWonderful, which in my opinion, lives up to its name. ProjectWonderful is an advertising solution for blogs, forums and websites. It runs on an "Infinite Auction" (Click for their explanation) system that continues forever, keeping prices pretty low for people interested in advertising their product/website. As of this blog post, most of the ads on EpicAdvice.com are priced around $0.03/day. Cheap eh? $0.03/day for 30 days on EpicAdvice.com will yeild you about 50,000 banner impressions in a month, for the low-low price of $0.90/month! (Again, at the time of this writing)

Little more information....

From someone who wants to promote their website's online status/brand whatever, the way it works is you put a bid in for a banner that you'd be willing to pay for a specific ad-zone for the entire day... this isn't a CPM/CPC system where you pay for impressions or clicks, you actually pay what you feel its worth for the entire day of advertising on our site. You can set up the bid to automatically increase to a set amount if someone out bids you, or you can just read the email notifications that you've been outbid and manually adjust your bid if you feel its worth it! You also get statistics on how well your banner is performing (page views/unique visitors), how many people have clicked through to your website and what your click through rate is.

On the other end of the spectrum, for those looking to advertise/put banners on their website, It allows you to create your own zones on your website and create auctions for them as well, allowing others who may be interested in advertising on your site to easily put their banners up using the auction system. You get to pick the size, how many banners are in the area, and even a minimum bid to place a banner. You can view every bid placed on your website, choose who can and cannot advertise, as well as view all of your statistical information mentioned above.

Pretty cool huh? We are actually using it to advertise about EpicAdvice.com on a few other sites such as WanderingGoblin (blog) and NPC Comic (comics). Pretty much any website we see in ProjectWonderful that involves World of Warcraft or Gamers, we are trying to get in and do some advertising on, but there aren't many signed up yet. Might as well support the community right? Well that's what we are asking of any blogger or website owner that might be interested! If you run a site and are looking to make a little money, sign up for ProjectWonderful and drop us a line so we can look for you. We are more than happy to advertise on WoW blogs we find useful and interesting to support the community (as long as they don't break the bank).

EpicAdvice.com started out with $10 in our account (Easily transfered from PayPal) and have been running ads on a few websites for about 2 weeks now. Our current balance is sitting at $6.58, so realistically we've been paying ~$2/week to advertise across tons of websites, generating a decent amount of traffic. We've seen a few people click over from advertisements, register an account and ask questions! It's really that easy and really doesn't cost an incredible amount; the money you make from ads can be used directly to pay for ads on other sites or transferred back out to your PayPal account.

So if you run a website, jump on board with us, its free and might make you some money, maybe even some from us

Note: This isn't a sponsored post or even a referal link, we don't make a dime off of you signing up or using ProjectWonderful, I just personally wrote this as I have been extremely happy with their product!
