2008′s online money making programs, which one works for you?

rm 2008s online money making programs, which one works for you?

Talking about the reason behind why you start blogging, one can’t denied the money factor in persuading you to do so. Well, there are many ways doing it. The same thing that works for someone doesn’t mean works for you too.

I’ve tried number of programs (although not as much as Titan), and awarded quite decent income from it initially. But as usual, the good day never lasted long. There you have to start from scratch and start experimenting the new program from the beginning

And keep in mind that some of this programs does not endorsed by search engines (you know which one).

It is better if you know what works and not for you, so you’re not dupe your effort on wasteful stuff.  So this is mine. What’s yours??

Works for me – Consistently earning from it.

  • Adsense
  • Kontera
  • Text-link-ads
  • Private ads

So-so – Earning not too encouraging, but still continue using it

  • Chitika
  • Nuffnang

Low – Earns something, but stopped before reach min amount eligible for payment.

  • Project Wonderful
  • Pay Per Play, NetAudioAds Group

Failed – Fails to earn even single cents (for few more that I missed)

  • WidgetBuck

KIV – plan to using it somewhere 2009 or later(maybe)

  • Advertlets
  • Bidvertisers
  • Shared Review
  • Izea

Looks, not all program suit with everyone including me. If you ask me now what is best ads program for you or your niche, I’ll tell you to experiment it by yourself. No one know it for real.

It is common perception that, after installing ads script on your blog, money will start flowing in according to the number of the visitors who will click the ads. You’re wrong my friend. There are more than the visitors factor that can influence your earning.

Beside, it is imperative for you to move along with the changes on the ads program policies. I for once lost hundreds of dollars a month when my highest earning sites lost its pagerank and was de-indexed from Google.

Until now, I never know what is going on although I pretty sure I have comply to all Adsense policies. That is old story, but serve as a reminder to me until now.

Why you need to review the money making programs that you join last year?? It is none other than to assess if it is worth your effort.

And by reviewing what is not working for you last year, you can have rough ideas what you should do and what you’re looking at this year. And what’s works best for you last year, keep doing it and make it better.  The improvement process shouldn’t be stopped once you start feeling comfortable.

Seriously, earning money online is not an easy task. But the doors are open wide to everyone who has will to strive for success. Happy make money online on 2009!!

Western Union update for Adsense- Expiry data extention & splits payment

western union Western Union update for Adsense Expiry data extention & splits payment

Good news for Adsense ads publisher who receive payment via Western Union.

First, expiration data has been extended. Not really a case for publisher like me who immediately cash it out once available..

The second one must be a cheers for huge earner Adsense publishers. It stating

For instance, if the payout limit in your country is $3,000 USD and your payment for the month is $5,000 USD, we’ll send you two payments: one for the limit of $3,000 USD and another for the remainder of $2,000 USD. If you’re sent multiple Western Union payments, you’ll see multiple ‘Payment issued’ lines on your Payment history page, each with the corresponding MTCN associated with it. Depending on your local Western Union agent, you may need to pick up multiple payments on subsequent days. We recommend consulting your local Western Union agent for further details.

So Google Adsense publisher like LiewCF who ‘used to exceed’ the maximum limit, this is a great relief. No more DHL couried cheque cost $24.

Chitika Premium as backup ads for Nuffnang/Advertlets

chitika Chitika Premium as backup ads for Nuffnang/Advertlets

The blank space left by Nuffnang or  Advertlets ads shown to the visitors coming from the country outside of the ads originated (e.g: Malaysia Singapore) is really a waste especially if the number is huge. You’re loosing a revenue which you suppose to be able to tap it into.

So when I stumbled Chitika Premium, I think that what I’m looking at, something to fill in that gap. But why Chitika Premium?

sample chitika 300x73 Chitika Premium as backup ads for Nuffnang/Advertlets

sample Chitika Premium ads

Chitika Premium ads only appears on the web page for visitors coming from US & Canada whom referred to your blog/sites via search engine. That means, if the visitors are coming from countries such as Malaysia or Singapore, Nuffnang/Advertlets ads will appear, while visitors from US & Canada referred by search engine will be shown with Chitika Premium Ads such as above.

If you’re new to Chitika, don’t worry to much. The installation is straight forward . After registration process, follow the steps by steps guide until the part where you’re asked what do you want to display for the non-US & Canada traffics. So grab your Nuffnang/Adverlets code, put it in a text file as instructed and follow the steps till completion. You’re safe now.

Is it worth?? My experiment is not really encouraging, but why bother when the blank space earn you nothing? Head to Chitika if you think it suit your site’s needs.

p/s: this is not an advertorial post and no affiliate link included, but merely my testing.

Monetizing undeveloped domain with Adsense

adsense Monetizing undeveloped domain with Adsense

There is almost no limitation of creativity when it come to opportunity to generate money online, especially if they’re ‘BIGGER’ than anybody else.

At the end of 3rd quarter of 2008, there are 174 millions domains on the net. Of this number, 11.5 millions new domains registered for that quarter alone. Not all domains registered for setting up website purpose, big chunk of it kept for investment purpose or hold it just for future planning.

Good news to those that have lots of undeveloped domains, Google is now allowing such domains to display Adsense ads. So instead of 404 page or page not found message, there will be Adsense ads over there.

To check whether AdSense for domains has been enabled for your account, log in and visit your AdSense Setup tab.

But typical Google is, this is only rolled out to English-language publisher in North America at the moment. For publisher across other regions, you have to wait a little bit longer.

Google retiring Adsense Referral ads

Beginning last week of August, Google will be retiring the AdSense Referrals program. If you are still running those ads on your website, you should start removing/replacing the ads code and download the report to your desktop.

By that time, the code will no longer work and leave a blank space in your website. Google is suggesting these alternatives, but the 2nd point makes more sense for current Adsense publisher.

  • Google Adsense for content ad – This is the common Adsense ads. Do NOT put more ads, If you have reached the maximum numbers of ads allowed (3 ads per page).
  • Google Referral Networks – This is the new ads network from Google and the obvious reason why Google is retiring Adsense Referral ads.

Google has acquired the DoubleClick Performics Affiliate operations in March 2008. Together, they’re creating new opportunities for monetization, expansion, and innovation in affiliate marketing.

Performics was founded as the first full-service affiliate network in 1998 and was acquired by DoubleClick in 2004. Today, Performics Affiliate operates as Google Affiliate Network and remains committed to delivering affiliate channel growth for advertisers and publishers.

Personally, Google’s decision is not really impacting me, since I only earn a few bucks ever since I put up their referral code. It’s there since I can’t put more Adsense’s content ads on the page.

I’m gonna register and play around with Google Affiliate Network to see what it is offering. The reminder shows up on the Adsense Setup page as well, to remind your for the same thing.
