Just curious how he did this, do you need to be a member for a while? How much is it and Ron, if you get a second does it convert well?

Just being nosy but it's been there a few days and I was intrigued at how well it converts.

This is just a guess, but from what I've heard in other threads like this, you can't buy it. Allen wanted to JV with Ron.

  You can't buy it. You can't ask for it. Allen has to want YOU.
  
  Let me put it to you this way. In my wildest dreams, I wouldn't even begin to
  entertain the notion that I had even a snowball's chance in hell of seeing
  my name up there.

  Thanks Suzanne,
  
  I was curious as to why it'd been there for a while and no one else's. That's fair play, thanks for the info, hope you're having a grand weekend!
  
  Thanks

There has been several threads asking this since Ron's ad went up. And yea the consensus is you can't buy yourself an ad here. I even noticed a big name guru asking how to advertise up there.

I think that is so cool of Allen. Just think of it. This is the #1 IM forum he could charge a premium and have ads plastered all over this forum but he doesn't do that.

So we know that if there is an ad up there it's probably a pretty damn cool product for him to go for it.

Thanks

I think this post from another thread summed it up best:

When I approached Allen for that spot a year ago I did it by getting 8 of the top Warriors in the IM subniche I'd gone after to endorse me, my product and my promotion.

Don't just expect to get it for a flat fee like in the WSO forum

Add to that - Allen only promotes things that he believes will really help Warriors. It's not all about the money with him - which is why you get tremendous value for such a low price. I've bought just about every product he's endorsed over the years and they've been some of the best investments I've made.

I feel honored for the opportunity and I've tried my best to over-deliver.

Good for you Ron. You deserve it!
