Bla.st — Free Card Advertising

Bla.st is a new site coined as “the free visual card directory”. Bla.st has only been online for 6 months but has already brought in over 55,000 unique visitors to their site. The purpose and reasoning behind Bla.st is that it is a free advertising community. When you join as a member, you can then upload your virtual business card. Bla.st welcomes all types of advertising, from personal blogs to business and non-profit organization. Once your card has been uploaded, it is then added to the wall of cards for free. Advertisers *that’s us* can increase our card position on the site by paying a daily fee. As of writing, it only costs $.02 per day to have your card on the front page for everybody to see. I joined last night and posted this blog on the front page at a rate of $.29 per day. I currently hold the 24th position. Just for reference, the #1 position would cost you $5.01 right now.

    I have the top position with $5 a day :D

    The traffic isn’t good though. I only bought two days but I’ll be making an entry about the results on my blog when it’s over.

  2. Scot Said,

    I’m only getting 6 views per day and I’m on the front page with a bright card. I wish I knew more about the demographic of the visits, too. Ah well! I don’t mind supporting the community.

  3. The Man of Silver Said,

    Hmmm … guess I’ll keep my eye on this story as it develops ;)

    It’s tough to know where it’s worth posting links/logos in order to drive traffic. Especially when you’re not quite at the level to start using AdWords or something big like that.

    Yeh, at the end of the campaign, I wasn’t really impressed. I think the service had promise but it just never got enough momentum to get off the ground. But as for the free service…well why not, its free! :)
