The domain name registration for my food blog expired. Somehow I missed the 10 million emails telling me I needed to renew it.  I can either wait 80 days to see if someone else buys it first and then offers to sell it back to me at an outrageous price, or I can pay the domain name company a $70 penalty fee.  Plus $15.00 to transfer the domain to Hostgator, I assume that’s for one year’s registration.

So, I posted all of this on Facebook, and proposed a fundraiser of sorts to help me get MomCooks back up and running.  I’m offering sidebar ads for $10 per month, and I’ve sold three so far plus received a donation from the wonderful Anne of The Megalomanic Mommy, who also posted about my plight on her blog and put up a donation button for me!  Don’t tell me Mommy bloggers aren’t supportive of each other, I’ve got proof they are right here

I can’t direct you over to MomCooks to take a look yourself and decide if you’d like to run an ad there, but I can show you a cached page and give you my Google Analytics stats. Click that cached page link, the ads will run on the left sidebar directly under the “Kiss the Cook” section.

MomCooks Stats:  Last month’s traffic – 11, 387   Traffic this month so far – 8,201

So, if you’d like to purchase a sidebar ad on MomCooks.net for the bargain price of $10 per month, please use this PayPal donation button.

I promise, next year I’ll have the renewal date on my calendar and I won’t forget
