With PerformancingAds, they put 1 Advertise Here one linked to a page where someone could purchase through them and then any affiliate offers or other ads that you set as “backups”. I use them for the bottom 4 spots and the top 4 are currently my self-hosted ones that can be purchased through my advertise page which is why I have them set up like I do.

I had a hard time believing it too…but I checked both in my WP Dashboard and also directly queried the database through PHPMyAdmin and that’s all I found.

Glad you find some of those links worth reading.

LOL I was wondering about those. I’ve never used performance ads so I didn’t know what to think.

Honestly though, I like the custom ones…although maybe not multiple ones. I like them for two reasons; they are not staring blankly at you begging to be filled, and they are actually linked to your advertising page.

I did say in the comments of my post, that I thought that was an acceptable idea if one really wanted blank ones.

I’m still having a hard time believing it has been two months since I have left a comment. It is something that I know that I need to do better though, but I was sure that I have commented more recent than that - are you sure your site is eating my comments.

I think I need to jump over and check out that post on procrastination. Thanks for the mention and for sharing more interesting links to explore.

That sounds pretty cool…you could use AJAX to make drop-down boxes kinda like Derek has his Red Staple Media site.

Well, thanks for the compliment and encouragement and your link was well deserved. I’m glad to know that my banners all look affiliate. I do have some in the rotation that I feel are like the ones you are talking about, however, I made them to look different so they aren’t all the same. There are about 4 of them in rotation for those top four spots that when clicked just take you to my advertise page and are basically my “custom” “Advertise Here” banners

Maybe I shouldn’t have told you that though if you didn’t already have it figured out

I’m still flattered to be included. If you only did that just to be different, well, that’s your choice I guess…it certainly is a different method

You must have not changed the blogroll page yet though because so far it looks the same to me (or else I’m just not very observant)

First I’ll LOL @ Andrea - you tell ‘em girl!

Now, Nick ‘ol chap…first, thanks for the linkage! Second, what you have on the side is OK. Perfectly fine and recommended until *real* advertisers come knockin’ (they all look affiliate, correct?).

What I refer to in my post is the really pathetic looking (no offense y’all) totally BLANK blocks that are just BEGGING for advertisers with the dreaded yet infamous “ADVERTISE HERE” splashed across it.

You’re doing well my friend.

Ya know, I COULD have put it on the side bar like you and derek have but I chose not to cause that what yall have. I wanted to be different. I am going to go back and edit it and do something to the blogroll page. you will see soon enough what I am talking about.

so NYAH, take that.
