The Funniest Talking Animals EVER. Also: February Ad Space



This video is probably the best thing I've seen all week. ALL WEEK. What's the best part? I'm pretty sure it's the groundhog (?) yelling "Allen! Allen! Al! Allen!"

Why are talking animals so funny, you guys? I just love them so much.

Now that I've softened your hearts with funny animal videos, I'm going to ply your base consumerist tendencies and try to sell you ad space on my blog. (But really, it's super affordable and previous sponsors have loved it and keep coming back.)

Here's the deal:

Side bar ad space is in one, two and three month packages with pricing discounts at two and three months. All 220 x 100 sponsors will be included in the mid-month sponsor introduction post and three month sponsors have the option of a giveaway (of an item/service valued at a minimum of $100) if they're interested.



Want a blog post devoted to just your products or services?  I take a few hand picked RSS-feed sponsors each month. 

Each weekly RSS sponsor gets:
* One post devoted to just them 
* A funny, smart 100-word post that I write all about your awesome
* Three images
* 5 links (three that you choose, two that I choose)
* Amped up SEO since these posts stay up permanently and drive traffic to your site, foreverandeveramen.

Check out previous weekly RSS sponsors here!

Some facts about Yes and Yes?
Daily unique visitors: 3,200 - 3,500 a day

Blogspot followers: 3,040+

Sponsoring the RSS feed was the best $150 I've spent on business marketing. In one day, my total number of website hits went up 1200%! We are only three weeks into this year and already, I'm already over a quarter of the TOTAL hits to my website last year. Being featured on Yes and Yes has a TON to do with that. Thank you for the exposure! And as an added bonus, the sales I made on the day of the RSS post more than paid for my cost of sponsorship. I added ten new people to my email list, approx 20 new Facebook likes, and a approx ten new Twitter followers. - Melissa Camilleri Magliola, Compliment Jewelry + Stationery

Sponsoring Yes and Yes has been an absolute pleasure and is something I plan to continue as my blog grows. As a very new blogger, exposure to Sarah’s amazing readers has helped me begin networking with other writers like myself. Depending on the day, I get anywhere from 10 and 200 hits from Yes and Yes, and her diverse and intelligent audience has only benefited my own page and the traffic I receive. Additionally, Sarah’s professionalism and prompt communication has been a great example to me as I start corresponding with my own new Internet friends! - Emily Wallace,Celebrating The Day


I picked up a three-month advertising package with Sarah, and holy kashmolies was it worth it. I've seen a consistent uptick in new commenters - at least 10 a month - and every time she publishes that fine roundup of sponsors, my traffic quadruples for the day! The folks who come to my site from the Yes and Yes tribe are insightful and generous with their sharing, too, which is just an added bonus. Talk about your good investments, right? - Ellie Di, Elliedi.com

  5. Had to comment because I recognised several of the voices- they're comedians from this side of the pond! Sarah Millican is the singing otter and Rhod Gilbert is the unimpressed turtle/tortoise (?). Just a bit of useless trivia for your day...
