I am renting some space at my blog header for advertising. I thought that you might be interested.

In one month your banner will appear 10000 times (more or less) has you can confirm by my pageviews.

I am asking $80/month and your banner (728*90) will appear on all pages at the header. I will only allow 1 banner per month. I mean during the month you rent the space only your banner will appear.

All payments should be done before the placement of the banner and should be done via Paypal.

The banner must be created by the advertiser.

If interested just drop me a mail.

Many thanks,
Mário
