XavierMedia.com just won the Publicity Wheel for the second time (last time was in October 2008) and the big question I just have to ask is it really worth displaying their widget during 6 months for only 5 days of advertising?
Publicity Wheel is a contest kind of site where you display their widget to earn credits where each credit gives you a ticket in the next drawing. If you’re the lucky winner your banner will show up on the sites in the same category as your site for 5 days.
This time we had to wait over 6 months and we had to get 105 credits before we won. That’s a long wait if you ask me especially since our ad will only show for 5 days……
So how much traffic do they actually got at PublicityWheel.com? Not that much if you have a look at the latest statistics from Compete.com:
The green line is XavierMedia.com and the blue is PublicityWheel.com. As you can see they got less than 2k US visitors while XavierMedia.com got over 15k US visitors according to Compete. So is it worth spending six months for this kind of exposure? No, I don’t think so, so we’ve removed the Publicity Wheel widget until they get more visitors….
