There's a new advertising format at SEOmoz, and the bat-signal will be the use of [AD] in the title of the blog posts. Thanks to your feedback and our intention to provide the best possible value to our readers and our advertisers, we're switching away from banners (hopefully you're enjoying the clean look of the sidebar) and towards a sponsored blog post model.

To learn more about the new system, just visit the sponsorship page. Also, note that to introduce the new model, we've got two prices based on delivery day (Mon-Thurs at $375 and Friday at $275 due to lower readership). These prices will go up, but I'd like to entice advertisers to promote their stuff and test out the new ad format as best we can.

Please let us know what you think - your input has driven this effort and we'd like to keep it that way.
