I'm selling a pair of of Sound Professionals CMC-6 Stereo OMNI Microphones. They have only been used a few times to tape a few shows on DAT & MD. They are stealth mics, small, & black in color. They have alligator clips to clip onto your shirt etc.. They are compareable to Core Sounds Omni Mics. I paid $279.99 for this pair of mics brand new. Please make me an offer , my e mail is pressadverts@hotmail.com Ask for a pic if you want to see what they look like.

I guess it all depends on wether or not your dressed up like CHUCKY. As the radar detection wouldn't be the problem, as a walking/talking 3 foot tall jack nicholson look-a-like doll would be the main issue
![]() If your not familiar with the LIVE RECORDING industry, your not going to know what stealth mics are let alone the rest of the termanology used in the industry, such as pre-amps, battery-packs, what "brickwalln'" is to name a few.. Obviously if your recording in a venue/club and you have a giant microphone stand with a large mic your going to get spotted by meathead bouncers. Some venues take your DAT/MD tapes/discs and kick you out. If its a phish or DMB show, some people bring a laptop and large ADAT machines, no joke...but for smaller shows, you need mics that wont make a scene and bring attention to yourself. Hence the term "STEALTH". These mics are about as small as in-ear style headphones that come with most common mp3 players/discman players. BTW, are you really the ADMIN? How much are you making off all these Google Adsense ad boxes all over the place. Its like this forum should be called "click on these google adsense ads to make me money" instead of being about the recording industry(lol). There are alot of blogs out there that talk about how webmasters earn more money by just having 1 google adsense box, rather than putting it on your website several times, such as inbetween paragraphs on all the pages. When you do that, users see it more often and ignore it more often, as the users will consider it more along the lines of a nuisance or spam. So they don't use the google adsense at the top of the page hardly at all when they would use it from time to time if there wasn't as much of it on your site. If its only in one place, it will catch their eye more often and the user wont ignore it completely. I tried this with an old forum of mine with around 3500 members, this is when adsense 1st started and also paid alot more(before they were sued for $90MILLION). I was making $150 a month with just 1 horizontal adsense at the top of all my pages. Then I thought hey, this is great money, I'll put it every where so I can make even more money. Then I couldn't even make payout and was only averaging $50 a month. It baffled me, so a month later I took off the extra adsense box's and again I went back up to $150 a month. There are many blogs out there that talk about this and show testing results reguarding what I just stated. In a way, users will view it as spam if its all over your website, and in turn will ignore all of the adsense box's completely if they are cluttering up everywhere you look. Some users might not even return if its that annoying. I just feel like when I see a website that looks like nother more than affiliate links and ads that the content of the page is extremely lacking and I just go elsewhere..... Just word of thought here, as you'd think putting adsense in more places would better your profits, but statistics show it works against you in several ways that you wouldn't initially anticpate or think about.....Search google for this, you'll find the blogs talking about it... |

I find it interesting that you appear to not like the "make me money" concept but you are the one trying to get $280 out of your microphones. Quote:
I've never gotten a single complaint from a user about the ads. I bust my ass to make sure this is the best site it can be with the limited amount of time and resources I can put into it. So far, no one except you has said anything. Quote:
There are WAY too many factors out there to say that X is the "best" way. I have sites with a single ad that I place strategically. I have sites where I get more aggressive with the ads. Thanks for the input, but if I made more money with less ads, I'd remove the ads in a second. Brandon

1st of all, I'm not receiving any income for people clicking on any links like you are. 2nd of all, if you read my post correctly, I'm not asking $280 for these mics, I stated that I spent $280 when I purchased them. I'm asking for someone to make me an offer, so there was no price asked what so ever in my original post. So when you factor that in, I'm accually gonna be taking a hit(a loss) from selling these. As I probably will only get around $100 if I'm lucky. I sold another pair last year and got $150 for them. I've never gotten a single complaint from a user about the ads. I bust my ass to make sure this is the best site it can be with the limited amount of time and resources I can put into it. So far, no one except you has said anything. The reason why no one but me has said anything is because I might be the only ADMINISTRATOR of another forum that has interest in the subject matter of google adsense. So I'm only inquiring how well you do with it. Its good to network with other admins to see what advertising methods they use. I also found this forum by a link from another that had the google adsense everywhere. I made a mistake and thought I was on the same forum from where I was redirected. So yeah you have the ad box listed right, just at the top of the page, you'll make the most money that way. Sorry for the confusion. Your also right that you bust your ass with this site. Forums are hard to run, and take alot of tweakn', even though they may look simple in design, its alot of work. Plus you can also end up running it for free if you don't have any REV comming in. |

Of course, there is another side to this thing. If only other webmasters get offended by the ads (people who are obviously going to focus on site design, coding, etc) then I don't think I have a problem. It's no different in recording. If the recording professionals say you need a $3k preamp and a $2k converter, but after buying that stuff, your clients don't even notice...you were tricked by the people who are maybe a little over analytical about the subject....maybe a little insecure. It's an issue of perspective I think. I also think that the average webmaster is a little too conservative. People tend to second guess their situation. This is also very true with webmasters and recording engineers. People second guess their situations all the time. Engineers second guess the fact that X preamp may be fine and snag the robo expensive one just to make sure. Webmasters second guess that they may have too many ads and end up with not enough ads. In either situation, a person cuts themselves short financially if they don't take the time to find the limit. Of course, there are always unforseen possibilities and there is "right" way in either case. Quote:
