		<description>of course being a sponsor, you will get something out this. maybe not cash but some exposure for your website. in most cases the advertisement you get back is much more than what you gave. so why do we need to publish that i donated that much, or this much here?</description>

		<description>First thing is, the ad spot value is decided on the price it has been sold before. Even if advertiser is not available there, that does not bring down the value of ad spot.

You probably won&#039;t value your vacant home for $0 when you think it&#039;s worth $1200 when on rent.

Now @ project wonderful [PW]; PW does not have lot of inventory of advertisers and the ad spot is installed there to test their ROI. I would probably sell that ad space for more at DP forums than giving it to Project Wonderful. It&#039;s anyways going away after the test period. The biggest loss in PW ads for advertiser is, he won&#039;t get direct backlink from the blog. That&#039;s point one. Second point is, For the traffic only, they would be paying but if I move the ad spot below the fold, the traffic factor will also go away and still the advertiser will pay the same amount of $0.10, in that case what you getting for your $3.10, neither traffic nor backlink, correct?

The ad spot value I decide by three factors.
1. The ad spot location
2. Blog&#039;s statistics
3. The real estate taken up by that ad spot.

Even if there are no advertisers in the queue, there is no point in giving it away for almost free. Why not to better avoid the clutter of ads in that case.</description>
