Alright so it’s my first time using the new system as an advertiser… let me say that the frustrations I was having as a blogger are amplified by 10,000 times now!
Here’s the problem. I’m trying to promote a new site that I’ve just created http://www.PetitionsForChange.com and I want to give you money to promote it! I don’t know if Izea wants this to be said… and I honestly don’t really care, but I recently got $100 to spend on a campaign as an advertiser in Sponzai! Woot! Hey I was going to spend a little money anyways… uh not on Sponzai since it has nofollow links but if it’s free I will take it! If things work out well heck I’ll spend more money on Sponzai… so far it’s not been great. Initially I had things set wrong (I meant to do 10,000 backlinks and accidentally hit the next tier 25,000 and that’s why I couldn’t find anyone to offer things to). After I got it figured out I went through and found sites with over 500 people a month according to Compete (I’d prefer for you to have WAY more than that but hey beggers can’t be chosers can we?)
I’ve gone through and made offers to people a couple of times so far I’ve spent $22 and have $78 remaining to give to you! I’ve tried to gather leads, I’ve tried picking bloggers by hand, and can’t get ANYONE to take my offer! I hear people complain all day long about how there are no offers available etc. etc. etc. well if there are so few offers why won’t bloggers take the opportunities presented to them? Sponzai is dead simple too as a blogger! I’ve had 10 opportunities as a blogger on Sponzai so far in total I think I’ve spent 30 seconds on them! Plus they are all nofollow links so it’s really not a big deal.
Maybe some bloggers can tell me why my opportunity was rejected by so many bloggers… I understand that a petition website doesn’t fit all bloggers content, and since I wrote the article it can’t be manipulated to fit your content… that is understandable and I can honor that 100% For the rest of you I wrote about 200 words or so of clear English text about my new site PetitionsForChange.com with the header image of the site at the bottom of the entry, and 3 no follow links. The site being advertised is not offensive in any way (In fact it’s a really good site for bloggers I know you have a lot of issues maybe some with Izea
that you might want to get resolved, and hey you can get a free link from a PR3 website by creating a petition), the price range was set by bloggers and I would think should be acceptable then right? I’m a blogger and I know you set the price ranges so why wouldn’t what you set be acceptable?
Alright, enough ranting, here’s what I want. I want interested bloggers to list what you have. I will personally check out each of your blogs you list here, but remember you MUST have a bare minimum of 500 visitors to your site per month according to Compete.com ranking system. You also need to have a BARE minimum of 1,000 backlinks according to Yahoo! prices are negotiable and will vary depending upon how many visitors and how many back links. I would like to offer around $2 (meaning you get $1) for the bare minimum anything more than that and it is not profitable for me (well technically any of it is profitable since the money came from Izea but lets pretend this is my own money I’m spending here I really want to like the system but that depends upon a successful campaign). $5 would go to sites with about 5,000-9,999 Yahoo! backlinks and 1,000-2,000 visitors per month.
I will also be creating an opportunity in PPPv4 in about a month or so (I need to give this first campaign time to measure results and success of the campaign before I begin a new one) so I will keep higher PR blogs in mind for that, but as it stands with nofollow links PR won’t be taken into account when considering your blog for this Sponzai opportunity.
