Advertising comes to Cycling Dude

Today sees the dawn of a new day for The Cycling Dude!

You will already have noticed that I am promoting the occasional book as an Amazon Associate.

The next phase in the developement of the Dude, and promotion of cycling on this Blog, made adding BlogAds the next logical thing to try.

So off I went to prepare!

In 30 words how does one describe the value of this Blog to Advertisers?

Do U Bicycle? Dedicated to the proposition that bike riding is good for you and fun. An ordinary road cyclist spreads the word and the word is BICYCLE!

My Blog is all about spreading the word about the joys of cycling, and anyone who is in the business of doing that whether through books, or other types of products, might find putting an Ad here useful.

Why should anyone consider advertising on a Niche Blog such as this one?

Let a few testimonials, and a pitch from me, explain why someone might want to advertise here:

What others are saying about The Cycling Dude:

My site is listed as a Resource for Cyclists.

2. Jones Bicycles, of Long Beach, Ca. Lists my site as a Resource for Cyclists:

Mr. Kiril Kundurazieff is a weblogger with a blog devoted to Road Cycling, Bicycle Commuting. advocacy, news, and sharing stories about his bike rides and the experiences of others he finds on the net. His blog was born in January 2003 and is called THE CYCLING DUDE. The Introductory description says it all: Do U Bicycle? Dedicated to the propostion that bike riding is good for you and fun. Commentary, events, links, news, opinion, reviews, stories, and travelogue. An ordinary road cyclist spreads the word and the word is BICYCLE!

3. Has a very beautiful Road Biking weblog that has been, as he says, "Putting the "ING" in BICYCLING since January 2003".... This site is as information packed ( and growing ), and enthusiastically written as ever, and in addition to the National, and International scope of his Lists of Links, the site is, as Kiril says, "dedicated to the proposition that bike riding is good for you, and fun", and DUDE is full of commentary, news, reviews, stories, and travelogues to pedal home his point.
