If you were to place an ad on johnchow.com, what type of ad would you opt for? Would you rather the reviewme or a 125×125 ad on the sidebar? The review me would only be shown on the front page for a day. The sidebar goes on for 1 month but people don’t really click on ads. The reviewme will definately get some clicks up not that much considering it’s only featured on the front page for a day.

If you have a site that is lauching a valuable service and you have a large budget, then buying ads on sites like johnchow is wise but most often it’s probably better to pay for other services. Paid postings of by multiple sites is probably a better option. If the website offers a good service people will come to you site without an ad on johnchow.

You shouldn’t think too much about blog ads to launch your site. If you are trying to get a blog off the ground, then it’s most likely not a good option to advertise on johnchow. He gets a lot of traffic but people won’t continue to visit yoursite just cause you put on ad on his site. You’re one of the suckers whos making johnchow rich.
