As we announced in February, we now offer advertising at excellent rates.

The first company to take us up on this was AloeRoot, a web design company with a beautiful site, a helpful blog, and a great client list.

You’ll still be able to find their ad on the far right hand side of our website for the next couple of days with the special code for a discount on their services and I highly encourage you to check them out.

Interested in advertising with us, too?

We still have spaces left for March and April, please see our rates or contact me for details.

Thanks again for being our first advertiser, AloeRoot!

Plutonica.net now offers advertising from as low as 30$US per month.

We offer 150 x 150px ads such as the sample image pictured left, and a 150 x 300px size viewable on the website in the far right sidebar and on our detailed advertising page.

All ads appear on the far right sidebar on both the blog and the Esoteric Book Club.

Some questions you may be asking:

So, you’re selling out?

No, this is my attempt to make this blog (and the new book club) a self-sufficient enterprise, at least financially.

This blog has been running for more than two years and in that time it has yet to pay for itself, let alone make a profit. I’ve never expected the latter, but I would like the blog to at least be able to pay for itself in terms of the several hundred dollars it accrues each year in hosting, domain and post box fees.

In 2008 I introduced Amazon.com affiliate links. While this has drawn some interest, I’ve yet to receive a payout from purchases made on this blog. That’s ok. At least I can display book covers for titles put out by the mainstream publishers, which I think adds a lot of value.

But advertising…?

The Google ads have been here from the beginning, so advertising on this blog isn’t new. Yet Google’s been rather hopeless for me.

Since 2007 the blog has accrued less than $20 in earnings. $19.34 to be exact. The minimum payment is $100. It’s very unlikely that’s ever going to happen.

Since a big part of our mandate is to be:

a place to share thoughts and reflections on magickal subjects, and promote new and innovative works in magickal art, literature and culture

It makes more sense to open up this opportunity to the rest of the community, to promote the websites and businesses of the readers of this blog and help them reach other like-minded people.

Still think I’m selling out? Continue reading »
