<p>Alright, after shoemoney <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.shoemoney.com/2008/01/31/giving-adtoll-a-go/" target="_blank">announced</a> that he we&#8217;re starting with <a href="http://www.vikingblogger.com/go-to/Adtoll" target="_blank">Adtoll</a> I booked a spot right away. Costing me $4 for a day it wasn&#8217;t much I could loose. Heck &#8211; if it brought me around 10 visitors I would be satisfied.</p>
<p><strong>Placement</strong><br />
The placement of the ad is terrible. Far down on the right side. Bellow several other ads. It&#8217;s also in rotation, so you don&#8217;t get all the impressions. But when people reading the post they will come down to the ad, and hopefully then click it.</p>
<p><strong>Price</strong><br />
When i bought it I paid $4 for one day. The price might go up when he starting to sell ads and gets some stats updated.</p>
<p><strong>How it went</strong><br />
Alright, it did actually go kinda how I thought it would go, but not hoped.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.vikingblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/adtoll-stats-shoemoney-ad.gif" alt="adtoll-stats-shoemoney-ad.gif" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.vikingblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/analytics-stats-traffic-from-shoemoney.gif" alt="analytics-stats-traffic-from-shoemoney.gif" /></p>
<p>As you can see on the images I got <strong>13 </strong>clicks which cost me <strong>$0.31</strong> per click. Thats not that expensive if the quality of the traffic is good. But as you can see on the analytics stats it wasn&#8217;t.  What I can tell from this is that the ad position and number of ads in rotation are way to high. Keep in mind that I most probably got some clicks just because some readers where looking after his new ad spot. I think my ad did fairly well, but as I haven&#8217;t tried other type of ads you might be able to get a better CTR. I will not try that.</p>
<p>So, happy with the advertising? No. Will Shoemoney keep selling ads? Absolutely! Already the spot is fully booked until  22-Feb-2008!</p>
