Exoclick + Adsense Deluxe= Easy Money.

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

Monday, I told you about Exoclick, a pay-per-click (PPC) program matches ads to key words a blogger selects. Both John Chow and I think that for some bloggers, this program may be more profitable than contextual programs like AdSense or Kontera.

To maximize profits on PPC ads, you need to place them in profitable locations. But many bloggers have difficulty positioning them in the high profit spots. Today, I’m going to show you how easy it can be to insert Exoclick ads or into your blog content where the click rate is high. I use this same easy method to insert AdSense and Auction Ads (but it’s doesn’t quite work for Clicksor.)

Notice how I am inserting my PayPerClick ads near the second paragraph of text? That’s where people who read the first paragraph and decided not to read further are very likely to click. Those clicks earn big bucks. They could help you make money online too!

Auction Ads: Nice Revenue!

Auction Ads: Great at true niche blogs!

About a month ago, I added Auction Ads to the sidebar of my knitting blog. Since that time, I have averaged $21 a week running ads for knitting related items without affecting my adsense revenue noticeably.

Obviously, I’m going to try this program here. Though, I must say, I doubt they will earn me as much. After all, I about 700-800 unique visitors to the knitting blog, and only 10-30 here (after all, this blog is only two months old!)

To show you how these look, I inserted Auctions ads here:

To create the ad, the blogger specifies key words. Auction Ads searches ebay for those words and delivers some ads.

Sort of. Evidently, for some reason Auction Ads needs to “learn” something or other and find the best ads. As I write this I see that search terms like “seo; traffic; google” etc. are showing sunglasses. Go figure.

Still, based on performance at my knitting blog, I assume this will sort itself out. I guess, as with everything, we will watch and see.

Now, I bet you are now asking yourself this: Can I make money by clicking on her Affiliate logo banner?

It turns out you can. If you join their program, you are automatically enrolled in their affilliate program. If a user clicks on the “Ads by AuctionAds” that is displayed and signs up for our service the referring blogger earns a bonus 2% of all revenue generated by that user for the 6 months. They feature a 30 day cookie on all referrals, so you’re likely to do well.

So, if you click on “Ads by AuctionAds” and join and manage to sell stuff, I’ll make some money.

How will you get paid? They deposit your earning in your PayPal account the first of every month via Paypal.
