Evan, I'm just getting into non-Foodbuzz advertising, so I'm try to figure that out myself. One thing you can do is use Foodbuzz's rate as a starting point. Figure out how many pageviews you expect in a month and what you'd earn from Foodbuzz for that many pageviews, and maybe you can use that to ballpark a monthly rate.

Of course, it depends on so many other things. What size ad, where you're putting the ad, how many other ads will be competing for readers' attention.

Wish I could help more with this. If I figure anything out myself, I'll let you know.

Can you give any sense for what a reasonable advertisement might be for a blog? I've had companies ask me what my rate would be to have their advertisement and I have no concept of what's reasonable in this scenario

I just signed up on line…do i get the papers in the mail or will they email the application to me? I'm in the process of chaning my blog to self host from wordpress…should I wait or can i give them that updated information? Or will it just roll over when I switch from wordpress to .com?
eek..there is so much to think about. I just have to take it one step at a time. thanks for this blog. it is a life saver!

Thanks for the info! I'm just getting into this blogging stuff, so it's helpful to learn from your experiences. I just got the foodbuzz papers too, so I'm trying to decide whether or not to join the program.

I have seen the Adsense discrepancies far too often on other blogs to fall for that one… Why would I "endorse" products that will make you miraculously lose 10 pounds per week, when I write exhaustively about slow, healthy and consistent weight loss?

I think, when it comes to ads, less is definitely more. Some blogs are so tricked out, you have to search for the content!

I added google ad sense just too see what it was about…I didn' keep it on for more than a day when I first started blogging last year. It was annoying not knowing what ads were linked to my page. Boo! Food Buzz publisher is the best if you have a food blog! Great advice
