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.

To get started:

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.

Spaces Available:
Ads are 468x60 image banners, and text ads. We serve 8-12 million pages per month.
We are also offering guaranteed impressions for $10 per 100,000.
Text ads also available for $10 per month.

Payment Terms:
Banners: $25 per month, or $10 per 100,000 impressions.
Text ads: $10 per month.

The text ads are rotated, but they display 3 per page on our busiest page. We will add them to more pages when it makes sense to do so -- right now, the text ads are getting a ridiculously large amount of impressions considering their $10 price (about 15,000-30,000 per day), but as we did with the banners, we will position them in more locations as they start to sell.

As for locations, take a look at http://www.glowfoto.com/advertise.php which has some screenshots of locations.

They are displayed 3 in a row above full-size photos on our link-in page, and one per page on the user control panel page, and one per page on user profile pages.

Personally, I would like to replace several of our graphic ad locations with text ads, but we need to sell a lot more ads in order to justify that.


Thanks for the questions, guys. If you have any more, please feel free to ask.

We do not sell text ads for PR, at least not for the $10 rate. But the ad is on our PR5 (public) page, for what its worth.
