Want To Be On TV? - Google Launches Adwords TV Ads
So, then it’s official. Google launched today their brand new advertising option. Google TV Ads. Long story short this will allows smaller budget advertisers to put their ads on TV.
How does it work?
Ok, the thing is, first, you’ll need a TV commercial. If you don’t have one yet, you do have the Ad Creation Marketplace, where you can connect with professionals who provide script writing, editing, production, and voice-over. This is a fairly costy thing, since it’s not cheap to make an commercial. AS I can see from the intro video the prices ranges from $800-$25.000. The rule “you get what you pay for” does of course count here. The good thing is thought, to celebrate their launch, for a limited time Google will cover the cost of creating your TV ad through our Ad Creation Marketplace, up to $2,000.
What does it cost?
You pay based on a CPM price. Basically it will work the same way as you used to, where you have to get the highest bid for your ad to show. So if there are some popular spots the CPM bid will be higher then on less popular spots. In the video the ads have a CPM of $2-$4. Which means you pay $2 or $4 per 1000 people viewing your ad. Not bad if it’s possible to get TV spots for that price. I contacted a TV station here in Norway and they charged around $40 CPM. Of course it’s probably possible to get that price down, but still.
Watch a video domenstration the system.
So - let me know if any of you are running an TV ad!

Google Introducing the Ad Review Center
This is really a cool improvement on Adsense from Google. As you might already know, people using Adwords to advertise can target spesific sites where they want to advertise. Before you didn’t know if you had any advertiser targeting your site, and even more important, you didn’t have any authority to disable/enable such ads. This have changed.
Introducing the Ad Review Center.
The Ad Review Center is a new publisher tool which enables you to allow or block specific placement-targeted ads, giving you more transparency and control over the placement-targeted ads appearing on your sites. You can choose to allow or block individual ad groups and advertisers, as well as filter ads by type.
As you can se on the image above, you can hold ads for 24 hours so you can review them befor they go live. If you don’t review them within 24 hours though, they will go live.
I think the new review center is a great improvement on Adsense, and it will be cool to see if anyone is targeting any of my sites. 
Remember, the more ads you disable, the less money you might earn.
What do you think?

Entrecard bugs - 262144ec for One Day!
Just a quick post today. I logged into my Entrecard account today, and was kinda shocked to see that it costed 2048ec/day to advertise on VikingBlogger. Usually the price is around 15ec. (I don’t drop anymore)
I guessed it had to be a bug, so I checked the marketplace, and saw some nice figures. The most expensive one costed 262144ec per day!
How much is the price for a spot on your blog at the moment? (Talking Entrecard here…)
Update 9. april 2008: It looks like it aren’t a bug, sort of. Since Entrecard is introducing a new pricing system these day, the price of ads are effected by that. Thanks for the guys commenting on this.

VikingBlogger Going Social
I haven’t tried to get traffic from social sites like twitter, pownce etc before. But yesterday I finally made a profile on some social sites, and are going to update them with news about my posting on VikingBlogger. I’m not sure what to expect, but it could be fun to see if I get any traffic from this.
So far I have made a profile on 4 sites. They are as follows:
If you got a profile on any of these sites, I would be really happy if you added me as a friend/ followed me:)
Add posts to all of them with one click
I found a post at BlueVerse, where he recommended a service called hellotxt. Short described you can send updates to your profile on different social sites with one click. You just provide them with the username and password, then write the post, and
click send. hellotxt will then automatic update your profile with the new post. I have tried their service with the four above sites, and it works like a
charm. In additional they support the following sites:
Do you get any traffic from social sites like these?

Get Out of Here Spottt!
Alright, I have tried Spottt for a week now, and I’m not impressed. The exchange are not going to work for sites with low traffic, period. The only sites I can see this service work for is big sites with loads of views. That way they get an big amount of credits just for the views, but most certain they aren’t giving a good CTR. The only way such a service will work is either A: It’s based on clicks, not views. You send 2 clicks get 1 back. B: A more powerful category system, where your sites gets placed in a category with similar sites with similar CTR.
Free Credits
One day when I logged in I suddenly had over 4k credits. I’m not sure what it was, but thats the only reason that I got a couple clicks back to my site. Anyway, I think it was a mistake, and before I got around and used all the credits they have taken it away from me. Hehe.
My statistic page
Anyway, the service is not getting my premium location, and I’m taking them of. Most probably not going to put them up again.
Have you used or are using Spottt on your blog/site? How are that working out for you?

Trying out Spottt - A Free Banner Exchange Program
If you take a look over to the sidebar you can see a new 125×125 banner just beside my RSS counter. This is a banner from Spottt. (Strange with triple “t”, but I guess you have to be creative since most good domains are taken.) They have just launched, and the guys behind the program are the same guys that runs AdBrite. Banner exchange programs are nothing new, but Spottt got sweet design, and it looks like they are getting an high amount of traffic - fast. (An Alexa rank of 18k yesterday)
They have been live in about one week, and got over 1300 members already. Thing is though, not only blogs allowed in the network, so not sure about the quality of traffic. They are also taking a lot of views them self. For every 1000 views you generate you get your banner showed on another site 500 times. IOW; Spottt takes 500 views. A 2:1 ration, which aren’t really good.
Anyway, I am going to leave the spot in my sidebar for a week, and see how it goes. I will of course report to you guys!

My Experince With StumbleUpon Traffic
10 days ago I wrote about “The upcoming Digg effect“. In that post I wrote about my little “link bait project”, and how it went. If you haven’t read that post yet, you should do that now! In total I received 526 visits from Digg to the post “10 Most Sexy Commercials“. Thing is though, Digg was not the only service sending traffic to the post. StumbleUpon sent a nice amount of traffic to the same post as well.
StumbleUpon sends a lot less visitors per day, but the traffic is going over more days. In total they sent traffic to the post for 11 days. Sure, we aren’t talking an amount that would break down the server, but its still free traffic.
As you can see StumbleUpon sent 377 visits, which made just over 600 page views. The users did not stay a long time on the site, but they did check out the site, and click on atleast one internal link. This made the bounce rate low, and in my oppinion 50% is quite good for such traffic. (And it’s actually better then the avreage for the site.)
Still - I don’t think the guys that stumble find what they looked for, and I don’t think they subscribed either.

I’m going to Buy a Plug/Review - Please Help me!
As you might already know I’m running a contest. My plan is to get some new readers and some new backlinks to the site. So far it have went fine, with 10+ people participating. I have used up my budget on PW ($100) and at the moment I don’t advertise the contest at all. The next point in my marketing plan is to by some reviews on other blogs. But I haven’t decided if I should buy a review from John Chow for $450 or buy some more on smaller blogs for the same amount.
That is what I need your help with. What do you think would bring most traffic/participants?
Would be great if you got links to other blogs telling about there experince with a plug from Mr. Chow.
