SpoiledTechie is a young blog which is already getting attention from people interested in topics as such as Start ups, Entrepreneurship, blogging, web development, web design, ASP.NET and more.

Since March 2008, SpoiledTechie articles have hit homepages of many popular digg-likes sites as such as del.icio.us, popurls, designfloat, dzone, reddit, etc and had been featured on popular blogs as such as Lifehacker.com.

125 x 125 Banners

I don't do any other type of advertising on my site except for the boxes you see to your right.  They will show up on every single page of Spoiled Techie.

I deal directly through ProjectWonderful.com. They are not well known, but they offer the advertiser (you) the best bang for the buck and I think its worth mentioning.  Like other 3rd party advertisers (like buysellads.com) you are required to buy a full month worth of advertising at a fixed price.  During this procedure, you have to pay for the down time of the site when it gets only 1 or 2 visitors an hour.  Project Wonderful, I feel solves this problem by working on an auction based system by the hour/week/month/year.  So you buy for each hour, Not Month.  You buy the down time and you buy the up time.  The auction system is very fluid as well so some times your ad could be up and sometimes not. 

What does this mean?  Well you get to define your time you want your ads displayed and if my blog isn't getting enough traffic, Project Wonderful will stop your ads or even better. They will lower the price your paying on my blog.  Though it works the other way as well. During high traffic times, you can set a cap of what not to go over per hour or day.

It truly is the most honest system for advertisers and thats why I chose it over other sites like buysellads.com.

To buy my ads, go here or click on the link at the bottom of my ads.

The Stats:

  • Page Rank: 3/10
  • Posts: ~100 a year being this is my first year.
  • Rss Subscribers: ~1000+

  • Monthly Visitors: ~10,000+
  • Technorati/Alexa Rank:  Does this really matter considering how many sites there are in the world?

That's pretty interesting, I didn't realize this blog was that young. I just recently stumbled onto it somehow (I don't remember). It may be a bit off topic but I'd be interested to hear how you increased traffic in such a short amount of time as I've just started focusing on my blog. The visibility/traffic side of things is pretty tough when you're hovering at 15 visitors a day like I am.

@Ruben, I've found that if you keep writing good content, then you will naturally get more organic visitors from search engines. The spiders love text and the more you have the more you turn up in their serps. Now the trick is once you have your visitors, you want to offer something good to keep them coming back. So that's why you should focus on good content and fall into the trap of crappy anything goes posts.

Forgot to say congrats on the stats! Just had a look at your project wonderful and i think i'm going to make a bid. 1 cents a day sounds pretty damn cheap to me! Smile

Thanks FC.  You know, I kind of thought you were spam until you actually wrote something of sort of feedback just now to Ruben.
