We were really happy with the response to this program last week, so we're keeping the prices the same at least until July 9. See the mini FAQ below for more information.
Note: text ads are
extremely undersold. Text ads are currently running at
0.005 CPM -- yeah, a half a cent every 1000 impressions.
Banner and Text Ads on Glowfoto - 10 million pv/month, 30,000 uniques daily
Description:
http://www.glowfoto.com/advertise.php
Photo sharing site
glowfoto.com is offering 468x60 banner space at the very low rate of
$25 per month. CPM rates are also available (see site for details). Text ads are $10 a month.
Glowfoto currently serves
10 million pages per month, with
30,000 uniques per day. See mini-FAQ below for some more site stats.
468x60 Banners
The buy in rate is just
$25 for one month. This is a one time rate to introduce the program. But
if you purchase an auto-renewing ad you will
lock in the $25 rate. So even if we raise the price to $500, as long as your ad is auto-renewing, you will still be paying $25.
120x600 Skyscrapers
This is a
highly visible position, directly to the right of photos. Skyscrapers are
$50/month. These are also limited. We will not sell more than 10 units of space here in a given month.
Text Ads
Text ads are also available for $10 per month. Text ads are
extremely undersold at the moment, and are getting close to 100,000 impressions
per day. We really need to fill these spots.

Mini FAQ
We got a lot of questions last round, so I'll do my best to answer them here:
Q: How many times will my ad show?
That depends of course on how many pages we serve and how many people by banners in a given month. As an example, people who bought a banner on June 23 got around
170,000 impressions in the
first week. That works out to a CPM of about 3.5 cents, which is unbeatable,
especially for the top of the page.
Q: How can I get more impressions?
Buy multiple banners. One of the reasons we are trying to keep the rate low is that we want to be able to offer advertising to those on a smaller budget, while still allowing those with a larger budget to buy a bigger piece of the pie.
Q: How do I pay/how long until my banner shows up?
Payments are handled by PayPal, and banners go live the minute your payment is processed.
Q: What kind of banner/site can I advertise?
Banners, and the URLs they point to, must be work safe.
Q: I don't have a banner!
We can make one for you. Just let us know your needs. Or, buy a text ad. They are
extremely undersold right now. As of July 4, 2007, the $10 text ad is getting around
120,000 impressions daily...
each. That's about the best $10 you can spend in advertising.
Q: Gimme some stats!
* Alexa rank: 7279 (and increasing rapidly. Our weekly rank is currently 5998, daily is 5199)
* Members: 90,000+
* Page views per month: 10 million
* Uniques: 30,000 per day
Q: What if you oversell? Will I get hardly any impressions?
Full disclosure: our limit is 60 banners in this space. We will not oversell. At any time we reach 60 banners in rotation, we will no longer accept new banners until someone drops out. Assuming our traffic doesn't increase at all, that means in the worst case, you will get around 170,000 impressions for $25. That's less than 0.15 CPM
in the worst case. Right now, we're only about 30% sold, which means triple the impressions and a third the CPM.
Even in the worst case you can't find CPM like that on a popular media sharing site anywhere. I know, because we used to run network CPM ads for 3 years.
Any more questions, either contact me through Glowfoto, PM me here at sitepoint, or email us direct at advertising at glowfoto dot com.
