That's not a good way to do business.You might get a client but more often then not is not the best one you could had. Taking decisions fast is important in the negotiations process, but taking it too fast could be a disaster. You need to have some time to gather offers, then select the best one. Let your clients know that you are taking in consideration their offers and compare it to the other offers that you have.Also, very important, let them know the exact time when you will come back with an answer, in this way even if you will have the answer in one week,it will not look unprofessional. “First Come First Serve” is a little too risky in my opinion and looks a lot like “Take What You Get”.

A publisher can't sit around waiting for an advertiser to pay or complete a transaction. If someone takes their time getting back to you, of course you should fill the ad space. Otherwise, you may sit another day and another with nothing but empty space, and a hole in your wallet. You’ve got the right idea about how to deal with advertisers.

I only add it if im rotating ads. No, I didnt mean Outlook. Outlook Express in Vista has been renamed Windows Mail :) Rhys – I’ve used phpads, phpadsnew and a few others in the past but I usually don’t use something like that if I’m selling ads on a monthly basis.

It's very interesting to know how other people are managing their private ad sales. I too use an Excel spreadsheet to manage my ads and to check how long it is before they need to renew. It isn't the most automated or efficient method, but it ties in with my "monthly income" spreadsheet. I reckon using Gmail to send email notifications would probably be a good method, so I should try and find out how to take advantage of it. Thanks for the post, Adnan Great post Kevin.

It's useful because you can use a separate tab for each site. Because it's a spreadsheet it is also useful for working out numbers and totals as well as storing ad hoc information such as email addresses and notes. I use a spreadsheet to track advertising.

That is probably Hotmail or something? :P Apologies, got confused, assumed you used “Outlook” when you mentioned “Windows Mail”. That is probably Hotmail or something? :P

I pretty much deal with advertisers in the same way. I have had quite a bit of success, and do use the two dates to plan removal of ads. One thing I do recommend if you're feeling brave is OpenAds. I run them on my blog and it just makes putting ads that little bit easier :) The other thing I use differently is Google Calendar to track chase ups. It is because I travel a fair bit, and I am not guarenteed to find a computer where I can check my Thunderbird calendar. You should be able to sync it with Outlook :) Interesting post.

I think I need to come up with a better way to handle advertising. The email reminder to yourself is a good idea and something I will give a try, I think ical can do this on the mac. It sounds a bit more efficient than my current scribble in my filofax :) Thanks for answering the question and the mention. I think I need to come up with a better way to handle advertising.
