Yesterday I decided to start using all my credits instead of just letting them sit on my dashboard wasting away. So I went into campaign mode and bought up about 300 ads ranging from 128 ec to 8 ec’s. I woke up this morning to approve comments and drop a few cards and noticed I had twelve advertisements waiting for approval. These ads purchased pushed my blog from a measly 128 credits for advertisement to a whopping 3072 credits overnight! Prior to this my blog would fluctuate between 64 to 512 credits but never any higher.

I’m not sure if its such a good thing to cost so much to advertise on my site. I mean, who in their right mind would spend 3072 credits on a single blog unless it guaranteed you some legitimate traffic right? I send decent traffic to others, but I don’t feel that my blog should cost this much. I just wont be able to reciprocate the traffic back to the buyer.

What are your thoughts about the pricing system? It seems to be flawed in some way. I can’t pinpoint the faults at this point, but shouldn’t the site cost be based on actual traffic rather than how many ads are in que?

BTW, Im sure the costs of advertisement for the site will go back down to the norm of 64 to 512 credits in a couple of days. ;)
