How often does pingzine come out? It is a free subscription right? I only ever received one copy back in December.

i think whenever they feel like it.
I think there has been 3 issues so far...perhaps they keep waiting for enough advertisers to make their rip worth it.the end of the world is upon us...absolute power corrupting absolutely...free speech is never free...

It is printed four times per year (quarterly) as I understand it.

You should first request a media packet from them, http://www.pingzine.com/advertise.php.
From there, you should look to see if they offer any demographic statistics; the purpose and goal of your advertisement in the magazine should focus around those two very important elements.
The purpose---why are you advertising (to influence entreprenuers, assist resellers going through tramatic experienced with a current provider)?
The goals---what results do you want to see (new orders, how long will you run your adv. campaign in Ping!Zine, and will you use industry jargon)?
There is a ton of questions you could ask yourself, but start with those first.0

I can't speak from the perspective of a hosting company, but as a supplier to the hosting industry, I can honestly say that my advertising efforts in PingZine far outperform any of my other advertising campaigns.
Kudos to P!Z...

I signed up about two days ago to get my sub. but I don't think you should advertise. Because it is bascially for hosts and not for people looking for hosts. Maybe if you advertise reseller accounts or domain regs. than it might be worth it. But I could be wrong.

KIAHost, highly consider my advice. You asked about success, and people are telling you Ping!Zine isn't the proper place for you to advertise--completely offtopic and comments like that could be damaging to Ping!Zine.
You should definitely take a close look at the demographics, study it and analyze it. That should determine whether or not you wish to advertise in the magazine, because success all depends on who you want to target and if that specific target audience had a good turnout for you.0

None of you guys have advertised yet so until you run in ad in our magazine there should be word about it as ineffective as you're passing on negative comments without even trying us out which isn't fair.
i find myself defending the magazine by every member in this thread.0

To tarnish the thread starter’s initial request was completely uncalled for. Unless you've had an experience, advertising in Ping!Zine, you should not be throwing calumnious statements into the public.
People need to realize that what you say in public, can not only build a damaging reputation, but also carry legal consequence.
I stand behind Jeff; he should not have to defend Ping!Zine against comments such as the ones made in this thread.0

have you ever heard of slander?0

Yes I have. However this thread is hardly slander. I'm not condoning it at all, however if we start with the legal threats so nobody can speak on WHT without being afraid of lawsuits...WHT is useless.
I'm not speaking in regards to this thread, I skipped a whole page (3) because it annoying me, however I felt the need to comment on Kyle's legal consequence comment.
With that said, I've attempted to sign up numerous times for the magazine (which you are assisting me in correcting) and I'm not a host, so non-hosts do read the magazine0
