Congratulations! You’ve found the the best blog on the planet okay not quite, but we’re getting there and I’d like to offer you the opportunity to advertise on it. Don’t worry, it’s likely more affordable than you think, but go ahead, peruse the options and see for yourself.

So PB, what’s with the new rate card?

Well to be honest, I think that the blog has grown up enough to accept paid advertisements. Aside  from my own personal anxieties (Thanks to Zania for the Prozac), I’m  now convinced that taking my blog to the next level in monetization is in order. Hey, I work hard to be so cool… so you guys should all have a chance at being a part of it.

Now the biggest difference between me and the other guy, is that I only accept advertising on a weekly basis. This allows me to keep content fresh and readers interested.

Unlike the bazillion other blogs out there willing to simply sell space… I want quality material relevant to the blog world. So if you think you’ve got what it takes, I’m willing to listen. Dig around a bit, ask a few questions, but whatever you do… make sure you get your banner ad up sooner than later!

The famous 125 X 125 Ad Square

Weekly Rotational: $15.00 Only $10.00

Probably the most recognizable ad space across the blogsophere, these awesome ads are the perfect way to drive that much appreciated traffic to your website. Ive got four rotational positions that are always available for purchase.

The Big Dog 300 X 250 Billboard Ad

Weekly Rotational: $25.00 Only $20.00

This is the bad boy of blog advertisements. When using the rule of thirds, you’ll notice that this sucker falls right into one of the most recognizable positions on any blog. It’s big, it’s bold, it’s easy to see and it’s the most valuable piece of real estate that The Piss Biscuit has to offer.

Get a Sponsored Post

Single Placement: $100.00 Only $25.00

Getting a sponsored post written by yours truly is one of the best ways to get that well deserved attention you’ve been yearning for. Equipped with my personal attention, witty banter, humorous commentary, and down right blunt assessment of whatever I’m reviewing, really gets the attention of my readers. Look around and see for yourself… when PB asks for reader support… reader support is what I get. Got something good… tell me about it and I’ll gladly put up a “Do Follow” post talking about how cool you really are.

The Ugly Stick Beat down

A One Time Beat Down: $50.00 Only $15.00

Everyone loves a good bashing and no one does it better than I. I’m loaded full silver bullets and I love to fire a couple of rounds down range at worthy targets. Got something you despise? Have you been burned? Bought a product or service that flat out sucks? I know the feeling! I also know what it’s like to not be able to find the words to express it. Fear no more… let me trash something for ya with my “Ugly Stick Beatdown”! It’s lean, it’s mean, and I assure you it’s worth every penny and hey, you’ll sleep at night knowing you didn’t have to say a thing!

So you’re sold but totally lost?

Ready to advertise but don’t have a banner? Have a banner you think is a bit crappy? Sure… if you advertise for a month… I’ll design your banner for free. That’s right… free. My billable rates start at $65.00 an hour so that means you’re not only getting a month’s worth of traffic, your getting a one of a kind design that you can use over an over again. It’s win win win… Did I mention you win?

The Call to Action…

It’s pretty simple and straight forward around these parts. Drop me a line on my contact page, and let me know what you’re thinking. I can answer questions, put up pictures of dancing elephants, and even direct you to You Tube videos of monkeys flinging poo… In other words, if you can dream it, I’m interested in hearing your ideas.

Note: The prices in this post are only good until Monday 28th! After that… back to normal so get it while the gettin’ is hot!

Alright guys, I was going to post the second article in my blog design series series titled “Making Your Blog Sexy”. But low and behold at 2:00 this morning I felt the need to post a little information on the progress of this blog. We’ve talked about a lot over this past week and I think it would be good to share the lessons learned and get some feedback on what has been happening here. You all know, that I like sharing information that betters our blogging community, so here is my first public contribution to building a btter blog.

The Piss Biscuit was launched officially on May 28th making us one week old. So what better time than now to show you guys the fruits of OUR labors.

Well there you go, just a quick content oriented look at some of Piss Biscuit’s stats after one week in business. Did I miss anything? And for those of you who have had blogs longer than a week, what do you think? What were your experiences? I know mine are not all that great… but I think it’s progress. What do you think? What are some goals I should set for this blog? Thanks again ladies and gents, for everything!
