SurvivalBlog Advertising Rates and Ad Submission Guidelines

Contract early to lock in a low advertising rate. As the daily traffic for this blog steadily increases, my rates will continue to go up. (But they are still a pittance compared to a magazine advertisement.)

Note: I fully expect all advertisers to sell only top quality products and/or services, to provide timely delivery/service, and to maintain reputable "Golden Rule" business practices. All advertising contracts are subject to termination at JWR's discretion at any time for any reason, with of course a full refund for any unused advertising days (pro-rated.) Don't disappoint me or my blog readers, and I won't disappoint you!

Also note that several of our advertisers have overlapping product lines. We wholeheartedly believe in competitive free market economics, so we do not offer any "exclusives", "non-compete" agreements, or "protected territories."

For any clarification, e-mail me here.

Read our Provisos page before placing an ad.

How to Pay for Your Ad

Formal invoices are available via e-mail (in RTF format) or via snail mail.

Pre-payment for a banner ad placement is quick and easy with GearPay, AlertPay or PayPal. (We prefer GearPay or AlertPay because they don't share PayPal's anti-gun political agenda.)
Our AlertPay address is: rawles@usa.net
Our GearPay address is: rawles@usa.net

But if you prefer PayPal, here is a link:

You can also send pre-payment in U.S. Dollar-denominated instruments via:

Make checks or USPS money orders payable to James W. Rawles. If paying in pre-1965 90% silver (dimes, quarters, half dollars, or silver dollars) divide your bill by ELEVEN. (I allow a generous 11 times face value on silver coinage payments.) Mail your payment to:
