Advertise on GrowMap
13 comments
NEW 10/01/12: GrowMap.com is now accepting paid advertising purchased through CrankyAds. Please see our disclosure policy for differences between sites appearing on GrowMap that we choose to recommend and paid ad spots.
In the past I had an unusual advertising policy on GrowMap. I chose the companies, products, solutions and causes I believe benefit others and offered to allow them to support my efforts through either a donation or buying advertising.
My most loyal primary audience is social media savvy influential bloggers and bloggers I mentor in niche industry and geo-targeted collaborations. In 2012 I will be focusing on doing more guest posting on major sites whose primary audience is small business owners, managers and employees.
If you are interested in advertising to bloggers and social media enthusiasts with expanding influence, please consider purchasing banner ads. Current rates are as follows:
- $50 per month for a 125 x 125 banner ad in the center sidebar of website.
- $75 per month for a 468 x 60 banner ad at the bottom of each post in single post pages.
- 728×90 above the header $125 per month
- 300×250 Featured ad at the top of the right sidebar $150 per month
Rates can be locked in for three months with a 10% discount from the total cost, six months with a 15% discount from the total cost, or one year with a 20% discount from the total cost when paid in advance.
If you are interested in the above or additional advertising options, please use the contact information on my contact tab.
IMPORTANT: Because many of our ad spaces rotate affiliate banners I can usually free up ad spots – so if you desire more than the number shown available below OR the ad space you want indicates SOLD OUT – contact me to discuss opening up that space so that you can buy it through CrankyAds.

These look like very good price ranges for the Google and Alexa ratings that you have on your pages. Are there any success stories on conversion rates?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,
I have never run conversion rates on any of the affiliate banners I test and so far no advertisers have indicated what their conversion rates might be. I can provide example CTRs but have no way to see actual conversions.

Hi, is this the actual traffic you are getting on the blog right now? Based on the Alexa ranking, it should be getting much more than this, right? I would love to get my tech blog up there.

Hello VJ,
CrankyAds averages the traffic over the last 30 days. Impressions for the 125×125 are closer to actual page views because they appear 100% of the time while some of the other ads rotate. My traffic varies because when I’m working on a major project sometimes my time is spent on other sites and not here.
The way for you to increase your traffic and visibility and get lower Alexa ranking is to collaborate with other tech blogs. If you’re interested contact me on Skype username growmap or leave another comment.

Hi Gail,I what to advertise on your site, but I don\’t want to do block ads. I just want some simple text link ads. What would you charge me for a few of those?
