Go call any adult mag for example right now and see what issue they will sell you advertsing in and then post it back here.

I'm not trying to be a dick with you. But I've been on the buying end of the ad game for a long time. I never liked paying for ads so far in advance, but you have to if you want to lock in good spots.

Now I'm on the selling end of the ad game.

And I can see clearly and have learned the techniques guys like Larry Flynt, Hefner, and the others used to make money from the publishing business.
Last time I checked they were made 3 months in advance, so you had to pay now for 3 months and then wait 3 months to see your ad. Not knowing if it will flop or succeed was the bad part...cause if it did good and you didn't pay for 3 months of advertising....you'd have to wait another 3 months to place your ad again, but if it did good, then you have just enough time to place another one that will be showing when your last ad is finished. Sucks, but it is the way it is. Better to pay for 4 months, that way you have a whole month to find out if it works =)
