Today I got served a fullscreen pop up of hardcore porn images.
By my own site.
Clicksor has been removed from all my sites now. And the worst part of it was, it wasn’t even earning decent money. If you’re considering running Clicksor on your sites, I’d think again: the money is crap, and so are the [...]

In my last post, I said I was going to return to selling followable text link ads and running PPC on a few select websites that I don’t mind losing. The purpose is to get some income back in here, which I can reinvest in my sites that have long term promise.
Not long after posting, [...]

I’ve been reading Matt Jones’ ebook recently (and no, merely linking to it does not qualify me for his contest - I’m linking because I like it), in which he talks about how to monetize different types of blogs. I’m not giving away enough to keep you from downloading the book yourself, but here’s the [...]

One of the big disadvantages of third-party ad networks is most of them don’t let you talk directly to the people buying ad space on your sites. When you sell ads directly (or through a third party service that lets you talk to them), take advantage of your ability to ask your advertisers a few [...]

I said back in February that I was testing whether you can sell nofollow text link ads via LinkWorth, now that they’re offering them. I also promised to update you in March.
As I reported near the end of February, I did indeed sell one nofollow link. So far, it’s the only one. But they did [...]

When I published the LinkWorth link that I sold the other day and posted about, their system didn’t pick it up. The next morning, it still listed the link as “publishing” which means I’ve accepted it but not put it up on my site yet - I’d put it up about 18 hours before that.
I [...]

Once again, proof that not everyone is buying links for Google juice - I just sold a nofollow link ad via LinkWorth on a site that has about 60 feedreaders and under 5,000 uniques per month, but is good for someone trying to brand their stuff. The link sold for $40, of which I’ll keep [...]

As I mentioned on the main site, LinkWorth is now letting us sell no-follow text link ads. This is exactly what I wished would happen: they seem to be more decent and less manipulative than /* , they have a decent marketplace, and they were generally able to sell my ads for more than TLA [...]

As I mentioned on the main site, ShowYourAdHere is now live. I’m testing it on a couple of sites right now, including this one (actually, I’m about to go set that up right now, so if you click this 5 seconds after I’ve posted, just refresh in, like, thirty seconds). I’ll report on results as [...]

No-follow text ads on this site are half-off through February ($7.50 for a 30 day homepage link; other pricing options available). Figured I’d make like a retail store and have a “50% off After the Holidays Sale.”  They appear in the sidebar, just under the 125×125 ads.
Speaking of which, the 125×125 ads are still $10/4 [...]
