Time to Thank the February Sponsors!

Returning this month for more mindless “Dot Commentary” and “Verbage” at its best are four brave Text Link Ad Sponsors! Who the heck are they? Well, let’s find out!
- H&R Block have returned for February and have picked up the “Online Tax Return” link on my sponsored links area. Thanks again for your business! I’m sure you’re going to get a lot of customers in the next little while as everyone starts freaking out about tax season.
- The Business Opportunity people emptied out their wallets and renewed the link “Business Opportunity“. Thanks for the renewal! Hope I send you a few business opportunities too!
- Also returning this month is Advisor Garage. They renewed the “VCs & Advisors for Startups” link on my sponsored area. Have a business that needs funding or advice? Check these guys out! Thank you again!
- Finally, Bluefish Promotions is back for February with the link “Promotional Gift“. Thanks again to the Bluefish Promotions people for renewing with me. If you need cool freebies to giveaway for your business, go check them out.
If you’re interested in picking up a link, Text Link Ads is still providing a $100 Credit for your campaign if you want to advertise with me. We’re also having a “Top Comment Whore Contest” this month so it’s a good time to buy a link and expose your company to fresh eyeballs. Yummy!
If Text Link Ads aren’t your thing, that’s cool. That’s why I’m giving Ad Volcano a try. I’m currently offering a 728×90 Leaderboard Banner at the top of my blog that is sure to get some attention. You can check out the rates right here.
Thank you for your business hope to see you again in March! 
It is good to see you, like some entrepreneurs, are not too hot headed forgetting to thank the advertisers that make what we love to do possible. I am glad to see you give them a shout out. This is one thing I will make sure I always do no matter how much I am making.
How has advolcano taken, have you made any sales yet? How long has it been up? I just started with them this week on my blog and I will be keeping an eye on them to see if they take off. If they do I will be rearranging them in more locations. They are a great new advertising solution for bloggers and probably something I will be using to advertise with as soon as I get sites up in the next 2 months.
A lot of my advertising comes from relationships I’ve built with companies so thanking them is second nature. I frequently keep in contact with my advertisers, and do make it a point to see them whenever I get a chance to at trade shows or events. I typically do my own ad sales internally, but I like to put my blog on autopilot so Text Link Ads and Ad Volcano have and will be a huge help. When I come here, I just want to blog and let others take care of me
Text Link Ads has been great. Ad Volcano has been emailing me back and forth to find out more on how to sell my blog. So far, I do appreciate their high touch approach to publisher management. Unfortunately, as the network grows, I’ll probably see less and less of that. I’m sure we’ll get some bites soon.
The nice thing about Ad Volcano is that I don’t have to accept any ad buy. I can reject an advertiser if I don’t think my readers will like what they see.
I really like my experience with Ad Volcano so far, i have already had a sale with them. And for $20 you can have an ad on my site!!!
But I really do like their willingness to email back and forth. I would get a few emails a day from them and I would just send some back it was nice.
While I haven’t gotten a sale from AdVolcano yet, I have to say that their customer service is excellent. I’ve received a few emails from them as well.
I was never contacted by ad volcano. Granted I only have it on one site right now but in the next month when I add 5 more sites I wouldn’t be surprised to hear from them about optimizing it.
i think the main reason they contacted me was because i had a sale, since then they havent really talked to me, probably becuase there was that huge boom in publishers, they have probably been swamped with it all.
i wish i had more sponsors to thank. I just have that one lonely one…I could thank some of you guys if you want to spend $20 for 30 days…plenty of spots…come on, only $20, some of you spend that much on coffee in a week. some of you probably spend that in the parking meter…
