A few days ago, Garry Conn lost his mind and pulled all the ads from his blog. I am not sure what he was thinking, but apparently he got some survey feedback that led him to think that his readers would be better served without the ads.
Never forget what Mark Twain said: “Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics.”
I actually like Garry's ads because he screens them so heavily. In fact, he has pulled several “sleazy” ads in the past and actually refused to take people's money. That's right, people have actually sent Garry money and he has returned it because he thought the products being advertised would be harmful to his readers. To put it in Garry speak: “My Blog, My Rules.”
So, now after rethinking his rash move to pull ads off his blog, Garry is reversing himself and planning on adding the ads back. He is worried about “Whoring out his blog,” but adding the ads back is a smart move in my opinion. According to Garry:
GCDC scores over 50,000 unique visits per month, generates over 100,000 page views per month, has over 50% search engine traffic and over 75% of the people that visit his site daily are first time readers.
So, ads should be very high value with all that traffic. Here is the thing — he is giving up premium space and they are pretty cheap. He is offering banners and links starting at $25 per month. Details are here: Advertise on Garry Conn Dot Comm. No, there is not an affiliate program.
Is Garry Conn an Internet Marketing Whore? What do you think?

I think we need to clear something up here….. Garry is the pimp not the whore!! Sending these poor little ad slots out onto the rough streets of the blosphere at all hours of the day exposed to all those dangerous crawlers. Taking money for them to be filled by up to 4 people at a time!!! This is scandalous and you would think that this would not be acceptable in out modern AMERICA!! But the price is cheap…. it’s tempting to take a turn….
So like Pepperjam Network hooked a deal with PlayBoy… can I put some PlayBoy ads on my blog???? Huh Huh… can I? Will you click them… and buy PlayBoy magazines…
OOOOOHHHHH I got it… AdultFriendFinder.com they got a killer AFF program….. Whhhahahahhaaaa….
Ok…. stop me… I been reading John Chow too much this last week because of Top Affiliate Challenge.
Thanks for the plug Mark… now everyone reading this, drop me an email to [email protected] and I’ll get you whored up with a 50% discount. No joke… send me an email now and I’ll lock in on 50% off my ad price. 🙂
How do you know about stuff like that???
My ads wear a condom… they are NOFOLLOW. 🙂
I only expose the ads to the diseases that are quarantined within the GCDC sector. 🙂
Oh he definitely is!!! Just the other day I saw him on the corner of Google Drive and Yahoo Road wearing this super short mini skirt!
He was yelling at all the cars, flashing his #@)! and all that. I almost called the cops on him, but I figured hey, he is just trying to make some money.
Haha, just kidding! I think he can do whatever the hell he wants on his blog. I never minded the ads in the first place so his decision to put them back on didn’t affect me.
They actually add some “bling” to his blog 😉 lol
I’m okay with Garry whoring his blog out as long as he stays clear of the “show-my-cheeks” jean shorts and hiking boots. I don’t think I could stomach that.
LOL
Gentlemen, this is a family show.
Shane told me about that stuff. 😉
Yikes. I’ve seen some pictures of Shaners that will burn your eyes.
Garry, theirs a playboy affiliate program at playboywebmasters.com!
you should get an adult site and call it “nudeconn.com”
=]
id check it out!!! haha
My two cents – ads are fine, but man, you have morphed them off the dial this time Garry – ;-).
I feel like I’m trying to read in a library between two people arguing. But, hey, that’s just me.
