Bitcoin Forum

Hello. I'm selling ad space in my signature at a biggest Russian-speaking webmaster forum Armadaboard (http://www.armadaboard.com/).

Here is my profile on the site: http://www.armadaboard.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=52278

The account is 6 years old, 2500 posts, perfect reputation.
The price is $100 for a month.

Contacts: strannik1strannik@yandex.ru

WOW! $100 this is a lot! As i know here on Bitcointalk even Staff Members can't get such amount.. and this is international forum.

100$ ? Oo

Whaou! Damn guy, I hope you get the whole Russia to visit you! It's a large amount xD

The price is oк. That's an average price for renting signature. For exampe, if you'd like to place ad at this forum officially, you'll have to pay 100-150$ for 120x20 banner which rotate or 700$ a week for a big banner at header.

Look at the prices: http://www.armadaboard.com/pr.html

Jesus Christ! You're asking for signature space on your account NOT on the forum's ad space.

Let's compare Bitcointalk and the webmaster alexa rank.

Bitcointalk:

Worldwide - #7237.
RU - #2665.

ArmadaBoard:

Worldwide - #32008
RU - #2582.

---

Bitcointalk have a higher worldwide rank than ArmadaBoard. However, ArmadaBoard have better rank in Alexa RU.

Let's take the average advertising bid per slot Bitcointalk receive form Advertise on this forum - Round 164 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1341175.0). (2 + 1.8 + (3 * 1.8) + 1.75 + (3 * 1.70))/9 = 1.78 BTC (750 USD) for a slot in a nine rotating advertising space.

We ... the poor (signature campaign) users, earns way lesser than 750 USD - probably around 50 USD per month for an average member here. So, how can you expect your signature space to be worth a hundred dollar? To be honest, you cannot determine a signature value based on a forums revenue.

* also, in order to earn that 50 USD, we will need to posts on Bitcoin almost everyday.

To tell the truth, some users at Armadaboard take $150 a month. :) Surely in case of  an advanced payment for 3-6 months there is a discount.

Also you can place up to 6 ad spots at your signature. In this case the price is also lesser ($50-60 each).

That's expensive I think but I don't the  the current rate.

May I ask,You must be knowledgeable on Russian language in order to post?It its profitable as you claim, why are you selling it?

Yes, russian is my native language. Why do I sell it? I need money.  :)

Your rates are very high, I feel. But, may be a veteran's signature space cost more.
Anyway, well you please tell us how many posts you are able to publish per week or per month. That may help many advertisers here to evaluate the effectiveness of your signature space.

In general about 50 messages a month.

People here post 100 message a month for less than 0.2 btc. you post 50 messages and expect 100? gotta kidding me.

Russian traffic is worth nearly zero due to it being nearly 3rd world and full of hackers / scammers and just generally people with no ability to spend money online.

Comparing a sites advertising rates that has a ton of premium traffic to one that's comprised of mostly all Russian traffic is no comparison at all.

Well, then you should create a thread to sell your signature space at their forum instead. Don't expect to find someone in this forum that is willing to rent your signature space for that price. Anyway, good luck.
