I do have a Media Kit prepared and have been getting favorable feedback when I send it out. I found the information about providing information on bounce rates in it very helpful and will be revising it to include that info when I update my stats. Thank you so much!

That and also plenty of postings and a good layout. Once you get to that point though, things should go from good to great. Very good advice.

I really don't care about the advertisement, but I really really like to blog. But what I want is to be taken seriously, and to have the best minds in my field, keeping up with my blog... it seems though I am not the best in my field, but I am somewhere in the mix. I have a bit of reading to catch up with on your site, and so I won't be to critical at this moment.. Intuitively, I am guessing, a blog doesn't need to be one person. I mean, I really don't think I can pull it off by myself. Because I use wordpress, more than one author can blog... is it okay to have more than one person blogging on a site? really a great blog. you can tell your really into this.

Regarding demographics, the site listed below can show you a website's demographics (but only if there is enough data) and you can also check out your competition's demographics. http://www.quantcast.com. This site does a similar thing - http://www.compete.com You can install their toolbar and check out a site's profile as you surf. Great idea and a really informative post.

I'm working on mine now, but this advertising newbie has a couple of questions for you or any other reader who can help me out: 1) I know how to check Google page rankings but how do you check key word rankings? 2) What tools allow you to post a screenshot? And here's a trick I've started using recently. I hand-picked a few companies that are perfectly suited advertisers for my blog and offered them FREE 125x125 ad blocks for 1 month. Now I have 4 "sponsors" on my blog as I make my big push to reel in paid advertisers. Of course, the companies I'm now targeting for paid spots don't know those spots were free, they just thik I already have some good paid sponsers. It's also a great networking tool as the 4 free advertisers got introduced to my blog and may choose convert to paid advertisers when their free period is over and they see the click stats I offer them.

I've been running surveys for a while now, and I'm interested in what demographics would be most interesting/useful to present to advertisers. Obviously some questions are specific to the blog niche, but are questions like gender or age - things you can't determine from visitor hits - the type of demographics I should collect?

Then you wrote about it. This is the third time that's happened. Are you sure you aren't doing some kind of white trash vulcan mind meld thing? Weird but cool all the same. Thanks. Darren-

I especially like the search engine ranking. I would suggest to also include in there information on where you social network at (to show that you are actively promoting yourself and your blog/site).
