Target Audience
TUK readers tend to be aged between 18 and 40 on average and far smarter than visitors of most other blogs. They are very in touch with the internet marketing/make money online world – should your product or website appeal to them, you will get traffic and sales. Due to the price relative to the quality you will get, ad slots tend not to last for very long – get in quick. 
Other Facts
- Ranked Top 20 out of over 300 blogs at 45n5’s top Internet Marketing Blogs list.
- Finished Top 4 in a study of the best blogs to buy paid reviews on. Metrics have exploded since that study was taken.
- Sent the most visitors along in a one month study of how advertising worked out. Again, metrics have exploded since then.

Paid Reviews
Interested in getting some exposure and feedback on your website? A paid review is the way to do it. Reviews will be written by me and are guaranteed to stay on the front page for a minimum of 100 hours (and forever in the archives).
The University Kid Dot Com tends to receive an average of 20 comments per post – this has not decreased for the last three reviews (in fact, it has increased). By ordering a paid review, you are not just guaranteeing yourself exposure and feedback from me, but also traffic to your website and my reader’s thoughts (remember, these are some of the coolest readers on the planet).
For examples of my past reviews, feel free to check out the archive.
Reviews are available at the moment. Please email me to ask about payment and any other details.
A paid review on The University Kid Dot Com will cost $200.
Paid Plugs
Paid plugs are essentially the same as a paid review, ie a post bought on my blog – the only difference is that you write the post. You can talk for a maximum of 1,000 words about your blog/website, and include as many images as you want (keep a hold on the links though – less than 10).
A paid plug on The University Kid Dot Com will cost $180.
Sponsored Contests
I am always open to prizes being sponsored for a contest, especially if they are valuable and something that my readers would be interested in. If you have something you’d like to offer forward, please send me an email – prize value must be over $300.00 though.
I am always open to other advertising options – feel free to contact me if you have any ideas. You can find the rest of my contact details on my Contact page.
