Hello everyone! I just made a nice direct advertising page. Please consider advertising on the site today. You’ll support my college education and the site while getting great exposure. I’ve taken down the Google AdSense ads (yay!) but want to replace that revenue… with direct ad sales! They could look like the sample unit you see in the sidebar, or something entirely original! It’s really supporting a good cause, because college is really expensive.

Here’s what the new advertising page (http://www.samjackson.org/college/advertise) looks like. If you are interested, please contact me; if you know someone who might be, let them know (you can click the “share this” link to e-mail, facebook, etc)!

Are you interested in advertising on the Sam Jackson College Experience?

If so contact me either through this form or by e-mail @ sam [at] samjackson [dot] org to discuss rates. You can spend a little or a lot! Many advertising units are possible for your campaign, but conventional banner sizes like 160×600 and certain buttons like 160×160 are especially easy to implement. RSS ads are also possible (reach a regular readership of 150+ readers), as are sponsorships in general or of specific posts.

I’m also looking for people and organizations looking to help co-sponsor a scholarship; contact me if you are interested.

You should advertise because it will help you to…

Feel good knowing that you are helping to support my college education! It’s really, really expensive. Really.

Reach thousands of unique visitors each month! Strong organic traffic also means that many visitors are looking for resources that your advertisement could provide; the blog is automatically available in 14 different languages. More opportunities to drive traffic to your site!

Reach highly targeted audiences!

• Many current and prospective students read my blog, forwarding articles to friends as well and posting them on Facebook, College Confidential and other similar sites. The same people looking to hear about my take on college applications and Yale University might be the ones you want to recruit.

• Interested in reaching higher education marketers, admissions professionals, teachers, and other players? My blog is respected and well regarded in the higher ed blogosphere:
  • Andrew Careaga calls it “a service to all of us in the higher ed marketing business.“
  • Christian Long says it has “dramatically inspired college admissions folks to take notice“
  • Bob Johnson says “I like [it] because I agree with so much of what he says.” and that “Paying attention what Sam writes will let you focus more closely on students who will actually attend your school.”
  • Karine Joly says my witty and fresh style “offers a rare glimpse at the mind of our elusive prospective students“
  • TargetX calls my blog “good reading” and me “wise-beyond-my-years.”
  • I’m also on the radar of Michael Stoner and too many others to list!

    
    These students, experts and professionals value my blog for my insight, commentary, and the same expertise that brought me to present at the College Board Forum in New York City in October 2007 and to create a webinar for Higher Ed Experts this past summer.

Still not sure if you want to advertise, sponsor, or otherwise support me and my site?
Contact me and we can discuss some options which might work out well for you!
