Ok. Everyone is all up in love with Dooce.com. I have been at times as well.
I get it. She's funny. She's constipated. She's neurotic. She has a cute kid a cute husband and a cute dog. Makes you laugh, makes you cry.
But I clicked a link on her site to see the cost to advertise there (just was curious)
1 week ($500)
2 weeks ($900)
1 month ($1600)
3 months ($5000)
Jigga WHAT? Get the fuck out. Ouch. I dig her, but there are quite a few constipated funny moms out there in blogoville.

Posted by: Sarcomical at October 8, 2005 03:58 PMFor the amount of hits she gets on her site, and the guaranteed views for any ad on it, I expected more money than that, really. I think it's more than fair.
Posted by: Ms. Pants at October 9, 2005 01:05 AMUhmmm no. She's interesting, but not THAT interesting.. and not the best writer out there.
She does seem oddly sucessful at making a career out of being a person fired for being snarky.
Posted by: Nancy at October 9, 2005 01:07 AMFeh, I am so over dooce. I mean she use to be funny, now, not so much. I read other mommy blogs and find them funnier, more fulfilling and far more entertaining as well as better written. I hope that one-day she's something more than the girl who got fired for her blog because that isn't really all the impressive. It's not like she got fired for being a whistle blower or something.
Posted by: Some Girl at October 9, 2005 03:56 PMHer ad rates are pretty reasonable, considering she has a larger circulation rate than some magazines and newspapers.
But I hear you.
