They're ads submitted through Blogads which can target a specific group of blogs or individual ones. I presume advertisers take a look at the traffic numbers, keyword searches, general content and other things of the blog before purchasing an ad. So there's nothing one could really do to help me generate money for me. I'm not looking to make a killing off of this thing though, just happy to offset some costs and have beer money along the way. I have no idea how the advertiser even quantifies [is that the right word?] the ad buy after they've bought it. I worked in ad sales for a year at PW and never 'got it' and I still don't and that's why I sucked at it. I don't think this single ad Wawa ad highlighting their strawberry shakes will make a dent in their large scale sales, but by buying ads throughout several Philly blogs, I gues they're trying to brand themselves a bit.

I am young (in blogger years) and would have thought the end product would have had to be a purchase, but I can't fathom you can order a wawa shake thru email (nor would I want one) Can you let me know exactly how these ads generate money for you and please reply directly within this post?
