Buying travel text link ads in bulk

Webmasters with several sites in the same niche can save a fortune in ad space (if they are willing to spend). I first realized this a few weeks ago when an advertiser with 5 travel sites contacted me about a package deal advertising all his sites on numerous pages of 3 of my sites.

As an individual webmaster, when someone says "I'm going to buy thousands of dollars worth of text link ads from you" and asks for a deal I make a deal!

So I started taking adavantage of the same principle. Someone I've done business with before was advertising links on his travel site for something like 5.00/month in the footer. With my three travel sites, I was able to negotiate a lower price for the footer ads or get my ads placed under the main naviagtion at no extra cost. I chose the better placement.

Anyway, my point is that owning several sites in the same niche gives you more bargaining power when it comes to buying ad space.
