Is it a printed publication, or on-line?

Have you considered others?

I bought an ad on a blog for a week, and AdWords for 2 months. I made some sales, but don't know how much to attribute that to either. While I think Google should do a better job of presenting our sites to surfers, I find some value in advertising in blogs that have a following.

After all, I got started doing this in 1993 with a $100 ad in PlayGirl marketplace classifieds.
