You need something that really sells.

Size
300x250
Price $8,000.00
Daily Impressions 1,124,698
CPM $0.24

$8,000 = 140 2 x month joins. sounds easy, except with the same surfers coming back day after day. Or every other day. It might be tough. You would need to convert something like 1-10,000 of their surfers. Not 1-10,000 clicks on the banner, actual surfers.

The fact they are trying to sell space with some newbie salesman, tells me they never had a problem selling before. He sounds desperate and they might be losing advertisers. All speculation, but I'm speculating on the positive side.

Seems to me there are far easier ways to sell or fill empty advertising space.

Trying to sell the the products you're teaching surfers not to buy. Sounds about as fucked up a system as ever in marketing or selling. It only just worked, until Tubes hit the mix. This sites traffic has gone from no where to a very nice position.
