Gotta say Miss Una - I love your article posts, always such varied informative stuff. Keep it up! :)
cheers!
Yeah the Microfame article was brillant, does anyone make money off their blogs. Una were you ever tempted to throw some google ads on your page?
"Una were you ever tempted to throw some google ads on your page?" - nah, I think they look a bit tacky and wreck the flow of a page (although it's not as if my blog is well designed or anything. Or, actually designed at all, come to think of it!)
That said, if some company came to me and said they wanted to sponsor the blog or an element of it, or put their logo to it for a wad of cash, I would be tempted. Obviously something like that couldn't have any editorial control so I don't think a blog about music should get sponsored by a record label or anything like that, because you would have to assume that the blogger would then push their stuff over other material.
UNAROCKS IN ASSOCIATION WITH POT NOODLE, or something, might suit.
I reckon in the next short while, companies will actually cop on to this. I mean, look at Hotpress covered in ads and sponsorship, yet more people read Nialler9 than read Hotpress.com, so Nialler should have companies gagging to get an ad look-in on his site (maybe they are and he's kicking them back, I don't know.) But companies are just so slow in Ireland to realise the value of advertising on blogs. I have around 1,000 readers a day, which isn't a lot, but it's still a pretty captive audience for targeted advertising. If advertisers actually thought about that potential, that is.
yeah maybe you could get beer vouchers from venues you mention. UnaRocks sponsored by The Penthouse Ballymum. You could tell everyone that Aslan are once again playing there.
