Yahoo! Publisher Beta Testing

Date May 24, 2006

As you can see, I finally got into the Yahoo! Publisher Beta program, and am trying it out.
In other PPC news, I’m suddenly doing pretty well with CrispAds, particularly on my other blog, which is finally outpacing this one for traffic. It’s nothing to write home about, but considering my levels of [...]

Goal assessment, and my new focus on affiliate sites

Date April 24, 2006

This has been a big week for assessing my goals, both online and off. And cool enough, a lot of things have started coming together in my head. In order to clear the way for new business, I’ve been taking care of a lot of basic maintenance recently, and all that rote work [...]

My first AdSense check, and AdBrite and CrispAds and Chitika and Pheedo

Date April 20, 2006

I’ve finally made enough on AdSense to get paid, assuming all goes well. I’ll let you know when it happens.
In the meantime, I have some thinking to do. Do I want to continue with AdSense, and hope eventually it gets to where I can earn a check in less than a year? [...]

Don’t put PPC ads on directories

Date April 6, 2006

This site is a blog and a directory, as you probably know. I have one other site that’s similar. Both were doing well on AdBrite: this one was fetching a nice price for ads, and selling them regularly, while the other was going gangbusters with the “intermission ads”. At first, I only [...]

Steady income from ads and PPC

Date April 4, 2006

My affiliate sites are still struggling, at least partially because I’m not giving them the attention they need. But my 5 blogs that rent adspace and PPC are starting to bring in a steady $35 per month. That’s nothing - a utility bill - but all of them put together have something like [...]

Increased earnings

Date February 22, 2006

I’m seeing an increase in my earnings suddenly - not much, but it’s a definite trend. Before Christmas, my affiliate sites were dead in the water and most of my earnings were coming from sold adspace. But in January, I made a Commission Junction sale (yes, I did convert everything possible over to [...]

AdBrite offers ad tagging

Date October 3, 2005

AdBrite is now letting you tag your ad zones with all sort of information about your site’s content, what it can sell to visitors, and who’s visiting. This should help advertisers find sites that fit their requirements better than before, and gives you a chance to highlight just what your site can do for [...]

Another commission and some new plans in the works

Date August 16, 2005

I just got another commission from the affiliate site I thought was going to flop. Considering it only has about 50 unique visitors so far this month, that’s definitely turning my head. I’ve been concentrating more on CPC and selling ad space - with mixed results, some pretty decent - but now I’m [...]

Pheedo, CrispAds and AdBrite

Date August 2, 2005

I’ve been experimenting with three ad networks lately - Pheedo, CrispAds and AdBrite - all of which gives you CPC ads until you sell the adspace. Here’s where everything stands.
I’ve actually sold a bit of adspace via Pheedo. No CPC clicks. Don’t care - adspace was more valuable, even though I didn’t [...]
