Posted by Ben Cook as Friday Phrase Auctions
This week’s phrase up for auction is the obvious one, make money online. If you’re wondering what the hell I’m talking about, take a moment to read this description of the newest advertising opportunity available here at BloggingExperiment.com. For the rest of you, the starting bid is $5.00USD (that’s like what, $1.50 Canadian these days?) and bidding will end at 11:59 pm central standard time on Sunday night. Bid increments will be $5.00 so for example if the high bid is $5.00 the next minimum bid is $10.00. Bids will only be accepted via comments, and I will do my best to moderate the comments as we get closer and closer to the deadline.
Good luck, and happy bidding!
Current High Bid: $5.00 $10.00 $15.00 $20.00 $25.00

1I’ll start with US$5,- for the keyword combination “make money online”.
What’s the minimal bid increase?

3With what about 5:40 left?
Very creative idea. I’m assuming you have a plugin for that or are you doing it all manually?

4@ Sander, good point, let’s do $5 increments. You’re the current high bid.
@ thatedguy - sorry, sander beat you to it. Do I hear $10?
These auctioned ads will run for one full month and then be auctioned off again. Not sure what the 5:40 left was in reference to. The auction runs until 11:59 on Sunday evening. That’s about 52 hours and change left.

5Yeah, I’ll go $10.
I missed the Sunday part, that’s where the 5:40 came from.

7You might want to include some stats that show the current number of places that the phrase is linked. Obviously some will be more prominent than others.
