SEO BLOG

After more than 3 years as a full time SEO consultant and 10 years in online publishing and 10 years writing for the web I realized that I can really write about just anything to make it popular. It’s the fervor or carazon as we Mexicans say ;-)

Even such a dull topic like SEO 70% of the population hates turns into gold if I touch it.

So basically I want to blog even more, until now I did it for fun, almost never more than 2 hours per day. To do that, I want to sell ads or offer advertising directly to companies: Web design, SEO, web hosting and Web 2.0 companies and services will fit best for my highly educated and most probably affluent ;-) audience.

My readers are often SEOs who seldom master web design themselves so they need web designers and sometimes also coders to assist them. On the other hand not only SEOs read SEO 2.0, also people interested in SEO looking for services that simplify DIY SEO or allow to outsource it.
Many of my readers already use web hosting providers but many need more than one, some probably would try a new one if they get the right offers while others do blog on Wordpress.com or Blogger and will need hosting sooner or later. As my readers are eager to try new Web 2.0 services of all types any Web 2.0 company will find here a very targeted audience.

Of course there are many reasons why you should advertise at SEO 2.0 so I collected 30 of them in a short brains storming today:

1. I rank in the top 10 for best seo company
2. My blog is black and white so an ad would be clearly visible
3. I won’t stuff 4, 6 or 10 ads in the sidebar like all the famous bloggers do where everybody will overlook them
4. I do not compete with you, or do you offer SEO in German ?
5. I am a renown social media power user and people trust me in Germany and globally
6. Leading SEO experts, famous bloggers and SEO publications trust me and link to me too: Search Engine Land, Search Engine Watch, Google Blogoscoped , Dosh Dosh, Bill Slawski, Andy Beard, WebMetricsGuru, Cornwall SEO, SmallBusinnesHub
7. My blog posts have been translated into numerous languages
8. My blogs get more and more popular, by now even on bad days I have over 500 visitors
9. You pay me fixed prices
10. You will be introduced as a Sponsor, Partner or whatever in a blog post, this blog post will appear high up in Google and be good for your reputation
11. I do not advertise for crappy or controversial services, so your ad will appear in a good context
12. Advertising with SEO 2.0 means you match my high ethical standards of white hat SEO so people will trust your brand
13. Some people all me the Rand Fishkin of Germany
14. If you want I will write a highly optimized article about your area of expertise, I am SEO 1.0 expert btw., say “SEO services” and your ad will be displayed above it (I am not talking about a paid review here, I just explain SEO services in the post)
15. You can even display an all page ad for Google visitors for 10 seconds on posts like the above or others you choose to
16. My traffic is 55% from the US, 10% UK, 6% Canada, 3% Germany, 2% Australia…
17. My bounce rate is below 50%
18. I am a regular front page appearance on Sphinn
19. Advertising on SEO 2.0 is still very cheap
20. I love what I do and people know it
21. I can write about SEO like nobody else can
22. My readers are well known bloggers, Internet professionals, active social media users, early adopters, movers and shakers, industry leading specialists
23. I can take any market by storm, even exotic ones like China or Iran!
24. People love my Sombrero, basically they’ll love anything I do
25. I have a Technorati authority of 200 after 4 months of part time blogging in my free time, imagine how I could increase that with the help of your ad money!
26. I have more approx. 150 subscribers
27. My wife says I should stop wasting time blogging and make money!
28. I rank at #11 for seo company china and other similar country combinations
29. You probably know me and trust me too already
30. I already rank in the top 100 for seo, in 8 months I will be in the top 20
31. You just can’t withstand, I’m the cool SEO guy you always wanted to be but didn’t manage
32. Limited number of advertisers, one company can purchase 2 or more “spots” out of the total number
33. You get a discount if you’re quick:

So contact me now to advertise here (click here to write an email), the prices will probably go up as the supply and demand will be taken into account. The first advertiser gets 20% discount for the first 3 months, the second advertiser gets 10%, the third 5%, the fourth 2.5%, the fifth 1.25%, the last one will get no discount. I won’t accept more than 6 as I do not want to clutter my blog too much.

So if you offer web design, SEO, web hosting, Web 2.0 services or work for a company that does be quick. Advertise here.

I was asked to disclose the prices so that advertisers do not have the impression that I make them up depending on who they are. The more innovative ad formats and types have no prices yet, I have to think about their worth first but the traditional banner ad formats already have:

Long banner ads 468*60 above the title of the posts: 100$ per month

Special banner ads 200*150 above “Recent Posts”: 80$ per month

Standard square banner ads 125*125

- above the scroll, inbetween “Menu” and “Categories”: 50$ per month

- below the scroll, inbetween “Archives” and “Meta”: 30$ per month.
