The ads show up different for everyone depending on IP address, so I haven’t seen any celebs in bikinis. But the nice thing is, I can let my ad rep know and we can hopefully rectify that.

To be honest, I tried hard with the advertising thing on my own for the whole first year of having the site. But I just couldn’t get it to that point, you know? Having no experience in that field, coupled with barely having enough time to write posts four days a week meant that I just couldn’t also be my own advertising representative. And lots of the successful companies I contacted didn’t respond to the e mailed request of some new “blogger.” So here’s hoping that having a representative and network helps me to get some good deals going, and also helps me deal with advertising requests from those afro-owned companies in a more professional and timely manner. I will continue to monitor the kind of ads that are on the site. Although I know more ads = bigger things for Afrobella, I never want to go too far over the deep end and have ad interests start consuming the site’s main goals. Thanks again for commenting.

Have you thought about approaching afro-owned businesses and offering them advertising packages?
I know you have to look out for yourself, so, I’m not mad at you.
