Meta MGoBlog Advertiser Survey thing

Submitted by Seth on

Without searching, reading the other comments, or whatever, name as many MGoBlog advertisers as you can. Whatever you consider an MGoBlog advertiser.

Not trying to prove a point--trying to learn something.

Matt's home loans company

Moe's/Underground Printing

Stubbs BBQ

There's currently an ad for Caeser's Place in the left banner ad, but that changes based on what I search, so I'm pretty sure they're not an advertiser.

I don't know that it is necessary for The Ministry Of Tourism to advertise - the amenities in Bolivia speak for themselves. That knocking in the earthen plumbing, you see, is someone trying to speak to you about how they are stuck and would like some help. That being said, to answer Seth:

UGP

Moe's

Homesure

Stubb's

UMAA

I get Progressive, Amazon and Best Buy for the ads that more align with browsing habits, I guess.

1) The mortgage lending dude (can't recall his name, but if I lived in MI and needed to refinance, I'd search "Mgoblog Mortgage refinance" and probably find him)

2) Moe's

3) Underground Printing (which is owned by Moe's)

4) The dudes you rent that party house next to the stadium for home games (see #1)

5) That pre-paid parking site for the golf course (see #1)

Are there more? I'm here like 10X/ workday.

Moe's, Homesure Lending, hot Asian wives (or whatever that is). I only know Homesure because you and Seth write about Matt in posts. I generally pay no attention to the click-through ads.

I have a Neutrogena ad showing from the blog right now.  I also have a huge pimple on my chin at the moment (this rarely happens).  The blog is watching us!

And yes, this helps you none.

Homesure Lending, Underground Printing are the main ones. The rest for of the ads to me seem like generic cookie based ads that are customized to me and make me feel creeped out.

Some T-Shirt company that either has a lady or I think sometimes a bearded guy on the ad

The UFR home loan guy.

BBQ sauce, Stubbs?

Sorry I couldn't come up with the exact names of these folks.

UGP, Moe's, Homesure lending, The Alumni Association, Residence inn Downtown...That's all I've got off the top of my head. Google banner ads for hot middle-eastern/indian/asian singles in my area?

Homesure Lending, Residence Inn Ann Arbor, Moe's Sport Shops are the main ones I see regularly.  There's also a targeted adspace that seems to be based on my search history that rotates ads frequently.

Without any research or reading?
 
Here's the raw stream of conciousness:
  • Lending place that sponsors UFR
  • Moe's Sports Shop
  • That nice hotel near the stadium (seems to show up more than a normal rotation of ads would)
  • The place that prints HTTV
  • Maybe Mich Alum Association?
  • Amazon to the extent that Mgoblog is an affiliate and occassionally props them

Nobody else comes to mind.

To be fair, advertising really doesn't jump out at me on this site... it's in the shadows of this page.  The only two ads I ever remember are:

1. Something for Ohio State -- well, because, this is Michigan right? 

2.  Something for Asian chicks -- because, who doesn't like Asian chicks?!
