If you’ve been getting a little bored with the static advertisement for LAist on the right side of our page day after day, take heart: hopefully the column will soon offer some visual variety. Starting today, you can purchase advertisements on DCist. They are affordable, targeted, and won’t harm any trees. If you have questions, need more convincing, or would like us to woo you with jargon-laden talk of the importance of utilizing nontraditional media when constructing a viral marketing campaign to reach early adopters, drop Rob a line.

To start, we’re changing for ads $20 week, $35 for two weeks, and $75 month easily payable by credit card through Paypal. If you’re not familiar with it, the Blogads service we’re using makes it easy to upload graphics, design your ads, and submit them for publication on our site. To get started, click on the link in the Blogads box to the right, or use this order page.
