If you think your company or website would be a good fit with this blog, consider purchasing an ad on the blog. Just about anywhere you see an ad now is available for purchase. I’ve found the best locations for private purchase ads are in the widgets, such as the column on the left hand side of this page. That way your ad is shown on EVERY page of the website/blog, over 200 pages and counting. I am also willing to place your ads only on individual specified pages or posts for a lower rate if you so desire.
Who can I reach with my ads?
The audience for this site consists of physicians, dentists, their trainees, and other highly paid professionals in search of financial and investing advice. Placement of an ad here allows you to focus on this “high-yield” audience.

Do you allow anyone to advertise here?
I limit advertisers to companies that I do not hesitate to recommend to my colleagues. Although I do not necessarily control the ads that come to the site through ad programs such as Google Adsense, I can control private ad placements and so feel an ethical responsibility to my readers to not advertise for companies that are likely deleterious to their financial health.
How much will it cost to advertise here?
The going rate for ads varies by amount of traffic, location of ad, and size of ad.
Ad Prices
I prefer to place private ads in the widgets, which are the sidebar/topbar/bottombar spaces on each page of the blog. The chief benefit of these ads is that they are seen no matter what post or page the viewer goes to. You are essentially buying an ad on over 150 pages of the internet for one low price.
- 250 X 250 Above the fold – $2 per thousand impressions ($122-130/month) SOLD OUT until June 2012
- 250 x 250 Below the fold – $0.50 per thousand impressions ($31-33month) AVAILABLE
- 250 X 728 Below the fold – $1 per thousand impressions $61-65/month) ONE SPOT AVAILABLE
- 728 X 90 Leaderboard Rotating Ads – $3 per thousand impressions ($18-20/month) The primo advertising space on any website, rotates with up to 9 other ads. You can buy additional spots in the rotation for $15/month.
Other options may be available. If there’s something you’d like to try, just ask.
How do I pay for ads?
I require a minimum of a 90 day placement, and if paid in advance, will guarantee your price for a period of up to one year. As traffic to the site grows, I expect prices will be raised. I prefer a flat price rather than a pay-per-click arrangement as it makes both your expenses and my revenues predictable in advance. I accept payment by snail mail check, or via paypal using either your paypal account or a credit card of your choice.
Are there any bonuses with longer contracts?
Yes. If you pay for at least 6 months in advance, I will feature your company or website in a review or an interview on the blog.
What do I need to do?
Contact me by email with your desired ad size and location for a quote. I’ll let you know the current rate, and if acceptable to you, you need only remit payment and send the ad in a common image format such as jpeg. It is usually placed on the site within 24 hours.
