Hello all!

I have a website which is about the Balkans. It basically has two sections that are actually worth putting an ad on right now, one is a lyrics database and the other is a small-medium sized forum (61k posts - clear of spam). I want to place banner ads in these two sections.

The domain is 5-6 years old (the site is actually about 7 years old, but i changed the domain around 1,5 years after i first created it), homepage has PR3, listed in DMOZ. I have no advertisements or outbound links as of this writing.

My site has had steady growth for approximately the past 1 year (it had mostly been sort of a part time hobby until then), even though from the start of 2011 the growth has been stronger. This last month (July 2011) it had 95k+ uniques, 130k+ visits and 210k+ pageviews (the number is actually 360k+ but i am writing here only the really meaningful pages that actually have content). The traffic is predominantly European/North American (with Australia usually around 8-10th place).

Most of my traffic comes from Google search. This month i had 121k+ visits from Google, which is split over 90k+ search phrases. Most of these are in the music niche. I also have noticed a lot of music sites linking to my pages for the lyrics (even other lyrics sites!).

I think some of you might find important the information that i don't use any form of paid advertising. No adsense, link exchanges, bought links, paid forum posts etc... i dont partake in any of those things. Everything in my site has evolved in a 100% natural way.

Now as i said, i am interested in placing banners (although i will consider other forms of advertisement, you can simply contact me so we can discuss it). The links will be DOFOLLOW and there will be no rotation. The banner will be supplied by you, and it is expected to have a reasonable file size. You will be getting about 120k distinct links from the main site and over 60k from the forum.

The banner positions that i'm considering right now are:

1) Right sidebar (under the login) - $40/mo (180x150 rectangle), $75/mo (120x600 or 160x600 skyscraper
2) Within the lyrics - $40/mo (468x60 banner)
3) Inside the first and last forum posts (including archive) $15/mo (728x90 leaderboard)

Just in case this matters to you, option 1 will give you some more displays than option 2 (including homepage), but option 2 is a better placement.

I am accepting deals only for 1, 2 or 3 month time periods (no discount). Yes i know, normally you get a discount when you buy stuff in larger quantities, but as i explained the traffic is steadily increasing so you'll basically get more banner displays in the latter months for the same price.

Payments will be in PayPal.

If you are interested you can pm me or post in this thread. I will provide to you screenshots of awstats and of course the url of my website.

Disclaimer: I am writing this post at the last day of the month and the stats for this day have not fully updated yet so some numbers may be plus-minus ~1k.

Thanks for reading this post!
