Suger For Rent + Giveaway

It has been decided. I am opening up ad spots. 
There won’t be any flashing ads {unlike my Nuffie friends who seem to love the things, mostly, I can’t stand them}. Ads will be simple and good looking. They will live in the sidebar at the VERY top. The rest of the sidebar things will remain below them. I’m not looking for huge numbers, just something to supplement my life and doing what I do. I hope that for some of you this will be an opportunity to chat with the Suger community without having to buy a whole sponsored post yourself {which you can do, did you know?}.  
There will be one monthly sponsor highlight post where I plan to ask the sponsors an awkward question in an attempt to elicit amusing and insightful insights into them so you work out who to visit. You could even email in questions for the sponsor highlight post? Large spot holders will be asked if they would like to guest post. I’m hoping for crafty tutorials, recipes, outfit posts and more. FUN.

But when will this fun begin? November actually. It’s far enough away for me to get organised and close enough that we can start booking now. AND after all, during November we will be jetting off to Italy. Judging by how popular posts about the planning to go to Italy are, I imagine the actual going to Italy ones will be even more so. So we might as well start on a high. 

Now. The final bit. You can email me to secure your spot or to talk multiple month or annual rates {annual, great idea Wanderlust!}. If no one wants them, they won’t be there. Simple. This is an experiment of sorts. So there you go. You can start talking about me behind my back about what a total sell out whore I am. I can handle it. Haha.

300x190px – $40 per month
{based on my current earnings with Nuffnang Ad modules}
150x150px – $10 per month
{based on feedback from you!}
And now the FUN BIT!!
I’d like to announce that I am offering the large spot {of which I decided there would be only TWO per month for now because they’re huge} to one of my readers. For free. As a thank you for your support and continued page view love. Which now, it turns out, I’ll be counting on a little. Not that my ego didn’t before!
To win simply tell everyone that Suger is going up for rent via blog post, twitter or facebook and leave a comment telling me it’s done and where {include an email address if not linked to your profile!}. I’ll randomly draw the winner from comments listed. If social media isn’t your thing and you want to be in the running anyway, just tell me why it isn’t your thing, because I might NEVER understand THAT! 
Good luck Suger’s.

  1. great news for you! there will be people who don't like advertising on their blog and those who do – meh do what's right for you!~x~

  2. Okie Dokie lady.I've tweeted it (and CCd you in the tweet!). Definitely keen to buy a regular sized spot too for The Climbing Tree, and maybe Number 19?Also, did you get my other comment on the ad post? I can't see it. :-(

  3. I've tweeted and Facebooked it and am definitely interested in a regular Regular spot, if you know what I mean!

  4. I'm so glad you won't be doing flashing ads. Those of us with vision/migraine problems all thank you. Apart from that go ahead with as many ads as you want. I don't look at ads 99% of the time anyway, I visit blogs to read what the writer has written, not to check out the ads.
