ADVERTISING AUCTION On Blogging Fingers: Bidding Starts at $1! Win Free Text Links!
By admin on Oct 11, 2007 in Blog Money
Auction Closed
The primary ad spot on Blogging Fingers just became available, in case you are blind is the massive 160×600 banner that says “Bid For Me!” all over it. I am offering this banner to the treasured readers of Blogging Fingers in an auction… with a twist bigger than you could possibly imagine.
The banner spot is normally priced at the super low cost of $100 per month… but you could get it here for as low as just $1!
Read on to find out why I am making such a crazy offer.
Rules For Auction
- Bidding starts at $1
- To make a bid of $1-10 you must PayPal the amount you bid to matt608freemoney(at)yahoo.co.uk
- All bidders receive a free text link on this post under the heading “Bidders”.
- If you bid $10-20 You must PayPal the amount you bid to matt608freemoney(at)yahoo.co.uk and you will receive a free sitewide text link for 7 days! (under “Finger Lickin’ Good sites” in the sidebar)
- If you bid over $30 you You must PayPal the amount you bid to matt608freemoney(at)yahoo.co.uk and you may submit a guest post to Blogging Fingers and you will recieve a free sitewide text link for 7 days!
- Auction is open for 30 hours and ends at Oct 12th 10pm GMT
- B.I.N is $250. If you bid the B.I.N you get to keep half the earnings made from other bidders! (I will PayPal them too you)
- When offering the B.I.N you may do it privately via my contact form. The 1st person to offer it wins but the auction will stay open for the full 30 hours.
Important Note
When sending your bid via PayPal leave a message on PayPal telling me the URL and anchor text you want me to use for your free text link. This is the only way I can confirm it is the bidder getting the link they want. I will be putting up the sitewide and “Bidders” links as soon as possible (I’ll be monitoring this post like a madman). To let others know of your bid you must leave a comment containing the amount you bid.
Clever Tactics You Will Want To Think About
- Bidding $1-$10 is unlikely to win you the auction, but it is still worth bidding just for the free link from this post.
- Bidding $10-20 is the safe middle ground. If you are unsure of what to bid this may be the choice for you because you are gaurenteed a sightwide text link and have a fair chance of winning.
- Bidding $30+ is the serious option. You have a very high chance of winning if you bid this much
- If you are thinking of hitting the jackpot and bidding the B.I.N, you may want to make separate bids to push the price higher up and force others to make higher bids. Remember if you bid the B.I.N you will be get back all your previous bids along with half the total sum of everyone else’s bids! It is in your interest to promote this auction!
