Hangin’ in the Lounge

Why I picked The Lounge as my blog's exclusive ad network over the big clunky banners I'd used before, and how the deal came together.

LoungeLogo I’ve death with numerous different advertisers and such over the few years I’ve had my blog. Just recently I spoke with the guys over at the Lounge and we decided to work together. I needed a low maintenance advertising system that could help with the monthly costs of the blog, they needed another person to join their Small Publishers network (because lets face it… I’m no hanselborg, yet).  🙂 Therefore we decided to join up and make the Lounge my exclusive graphical advertiser.

From the famous words of SLC Punk.

“I didn’t sell out, son. I bought in.”

I personally feel that these ads are much more respectable and are a huge improvement compared to the huge banners that I’ve previously had (as they did all sorts of non-sense, IMO). Hopefully this makes the reading experience less like a 1987 ad party rave with candy necklaces. Enjoy
