Blog Advertising

September 22nd, 2004

I ran across BlogAds in this article:

Henry Copeland, owner of blogAds.com, said some of the bloggers he represents make $120,000 (U.S.) a year from ads — though he won’t say how many — and that “dozens” make $1,000 a month

So it seems like there is a couple of bucks to be made on advertising on the top tier blogs. I have to wonder, though, if the ad revenue instapundit and other political oriented blogs will take a dive once the election season is over. A bubble?

I have to say that I really dislike the scrolling table on the order form for blogads. Scrollbars within windows are hard to use. The table doesn’t reflow depending on window size. I’m sure it looks and works great maximized in 800 X 600 Internet Explorer on windows XP. In 1152 X 864 Safari on Mac OS X, the scrolling is a pain and the big white empty area is a waste.

This order form has the look and feel of desktop development and not of web development. I wonder if some “internet infused” desktop oriented tool was used to make it? Can anyone identify any tool forensics?
