Farewell Spottt

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’ve been trying the Spottt “banner exchange” service on a few of my blogs. Having given it the benefit of the doubt for a few weeks, it’s now time to say goodbye. Here’s why:

• Site 1: 73,369 times on other sitesand got 110 clicks
• Site 2: 4,052 times on other sites and got 10 clicks
• Site 3: 6,271 times on other sites and got 12 clicks

People just aren’t clicking on the banners. Yes, it might be down to the design of my banners, but I don’t think so. I think people have already become “ad blind” to this type of ad. It’s for this reason that I’ve also dropped Entrecard from the one blog I’ve been trying it on.

Well, that’s freed up some more space in my sidebars. Off to look for some more widgets!
