Allen Says, the owner of the Warrior Forum, is at it again. In a recent article that I wrote, I told you about the new Warrior Forum banner ads that appear at the top of the page of the forum itself. Well now, Allen has come up with something else…text ads. I’m going to fill you in on what they are, how you can get them and what the cost. I’ll also give you my personal opinion on these new text ads. I think you will find this interesting reading.

Okay, the text ads themselves are a block of three ads that appear under the initial post in a thread. There are some very strict requirements for these ads so if you’re going to use them, you’re going to need to know what they are.

For the title of the ad itself, you can only have a maximum of 45 characters. So you better brush up on your copywriting skills if you’re going to come up with something that is going to get the attention of the members at the forum. The URL that you use for the ad MUST be a short URL. You can’t have one of these super long URLs that you see floating around all over the place. That means, if you have to use a redirect, like Tiny URL, do it. For the ad text itself, you get a maximum of 3 lines, 45 characters per line. Again, better brush up on your copywriting.

As for the cost of these ads, currently there are two payment options. You can get an ad for a day for 30 US dollars. The only other option is for one week for 200 US dollars. So if you buy an ad for a week, you save a whole $10. It doesn’t sound like a lot, but if you bought an ad for each week of the year, that’s a savings of $520 over the course of the year. Not too bad.

Okay, so what do I think of these text ads? I think you need to test them to see if they work for YOU. Not every offer is going to be an attention grabber. You may not have the copywriting skills to pull 3 line ads off, unless you have a lot of experience with Google PPC. The only way you’re going to find out if these ads are worth it is to try one for a week. One day isn’t enough to tell. You have to give them time.

Once again, Allen Says continues to think of new ways to give members a chance to advertise on his forum. For that, I tip my cap to the man.

He’s always on the cutting edge.
