OIOpublisher Review - Make Money With Ads

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or the No-Hype, No-BS, No Spam MAT newsletter.. Thanks for visiting!

oiopublisherFor the past 3 months I have been trying out a new wordpress plugin called the OIOpublisher that allows you the publisher to sale banner ads, text ads, manage a affiliate program as well as set up a add server for non wordpress sites.  I have been very impressed with the results of this plugin to say the least.  But one main feature that really attracted me to this plugin was that all proceeds would go directly into my pocket.  I am talking about 100% of the proceeds.  Yes, their is no middle man used.  What also impressed me was that I could set this plugin up on all my blog and websites and not have to worry if the ad network was going to approve of the site or not.  Getting approval on a few of my sites has been a great concern, especially for sites that don’t have a very distinct following yet.

But their is one drawback from using this system.  The publisher will have to advertise.  Usually this aspect is handled by the middle man.  I can’t say that I have found an answer for this as of yet.  The only thing that I can say is to make your service a focal point on your website or blog.  In the header make sure you have a tab or menu item that say specifically that you allow for advertising.  If you have a large amount of traffic and you can attract big named advertiser give away 15 to 20 days to allow that advertiser to get acquainted with you traffic and if they are satisfied book them in for the next 30 days at regular prices.  Now lets get into some of the features.

Ad Server - Set up ads in this plugin and through java-scripting add the ad to websites that don’t have a back-end of wordpress.  What a great feature.  The javascript works just like plugin code on a wordpress blog.  That means you can drop in either a text ad and banner ads or both and sale both of these site wide for any website that you would feel would benefit from this feature.  You can also set your own price for each ad per site. 

Google and the <no follow> tag.  If you afraid for Google pinging you site for selling page rank, don’t worry about that with this plugin.  You can set it up so that each link sold automatically has the <no follow> link.  You can also charge a premium to turn off this feature.

Affiliate programs - Do you have a in house affiliate program that you run.  This plugin will can take care or payments and tracking for you affiliate program also.

All of these features and plenty of other features are all automated and does not require any interaction once set up.  Just set everything up in the beginning and let it do its thing.

All payments are real time and are credited to a paypal account that is set up in the plugin in the beginning.

If you or anyone else is serious about selling text links and banner space on a website or blog then this plugin is what you need.  It is powerful enough for a small website that may only get 20 to 30 clicks a day to a blog or website that get 10,000 to 30,000 clicks a day.  It is that powerful.  Learn more about the OIOpublisher..

Buy Reviews - Make Money Through Blog Advertising

Buying Reviews is becoming a huge industry for bloggers and advertisers alike.  Bloggers are using the resource as a means  to get the word out about new and upcoming blogs as well as a means to make extra money on the side by reviewing other websites. 

How much money can you make per review?

Well, I can’t give definite amount.  The amount is contingent on the traffic and theme of your website.  What I can say is that reviews could cost between $5 dollars and over a $1000 dollars.  Wow..  Of course the websites that demand thousands of dollars has extreme amounts of traffic.  With that in mind a thousand dollar review may be a bargain.  Especially, since the link gained will be a permanent link that will last for the lifetime of the website.

Here is figure from a well known website that has been featured on entrepreneur.com.  Congratulation john chow (johnchow.com).  For the month of December 2007 his website made $5,400.00 with reviewme.com.  He charges $400 dollars per review.  So, the possibility of making substantial amounts of money monthly is possible.

Getting started in not such a big deal.  First, you need a website or blog to complete reviews on.  Second, the website needs to be approved by a intermediate website.  This website works as the between middle man bringing the advertiser and the blogger together.  Each website that you are approved to do business with gets a percentage of the money earned by all reviews.  This percentage could be as much as %40.  But this number could improve as more and more reviews are done.  Once approved the advertising begins.  Most of the review me websites have a database of companies that are in need of reviews.  As the blogger it will be your responsibility to go out and bid on the jobs.  If the company approves the bid, you the blogger will have a specified amount of time to complete the review and report back to the review me company with the web address of the review.  If the company approves the review payment will follow.

As it stands today their are mainly three companies that are working in this industry. 

  1. Reviewme.com - This companies was start maybe over a year or two ago but it has been a total success.  One of the partners of this venture in John chow of johnchow.com.  I found it a little hard to find advertiser to do reviews on with this company.  But, they also will recommend advertisers to you once someone signs up.

  2. Sponsoredreviews.com - Sponsored reviews is a great company that pays every two weeks for any reviews done.  They have a very large database of advertisers looking for reviews and the bidding system is very easy to use.  Sponsored review will also add you to a email list that updates each blogger with new opportunities whenever there added to there database.  I have had the greatest success with sponsoredreviews.com in generating review income.

  3. BuyBlogReviews- BuyBlogReviews.com is fairly new and at this time does not have as many advertiser waiting for reviews.  But, there system is fairly easy to use.  Once you find an advertiser that your interested in doing a review on you pull up the advertiser and bid on the job.  You will have to wait to see if the advertiser accepts your bid.  If accepted the bid is valid for a certain amount of time.

Each site above is exceptional and I would recommend signing up your website for all of them.  Then start shopping around to find opportunities.  Also, advertise that you do reviews on your website and point them to the opportunity on either of the websites.

Make Money On All Your Traffic - Pay Per Play Ads

I am always on the look out for new and inventive ways to make money online.  Especially, if the technique does not take much effort.  Well, I think I found a way to make money online that is just as easy of Google ads and it does not take up any web page real estate.  If your a Google advertiser then you will love this NetAudioAdsâ„¢.  Making money online can’t get any easier than this. 

Unlike Google’s pay per click advertising that only pays you a percentage of the money gained from the advertiser.  NetAudioAdsâ„¢ promises to pay out 100% of the money earned from advertisers.  The best about this program is that it requires not clicking of ads or selling anything.  What a great program!!!

Here is a break down of the payment program.  This is a direct quote from NetAudioAds:

NetAudioAds Pay-Per-Play (PPP) offers a generous (RESIDUAL) compensation plan that is designed to pay you in several ways:

TIER 1: Get paid 25% of what the advertiser spends “per play” on audio ads that you serve on your website(s). You get paid for every visitor that remains on any web page (where you place your PPP code) for more than 2 seconds.

20% of Internet users do not have their audio system turned on but you will be paid for 100% of your traffic where an audio ad is served whether it is heard or not. The price that our advertisers pay already takes into account that only 80% of their ads will actually be heard.

TIER 2: Get paid 5% of what the advertiser spends “per play” on audio ads that are served on the websites of those that you personally refer to the Pay-Per-Play opportunity.

TIER 3: Get paid 5% of what the advertiser spends “per play” on audio ads that are served on the websites of those that your direct referrals bring on board.

This means you can earn revenue on every single person that visits your website.

By signing up with NetAudioAds™ , you agree to place a “single” 5 second audio ads on your site or blog.

A simple javascript code calls a 5 second audio ad.  This code can be placed any where within the body of a web-page.  But, as I said before it will not take up any web page read estate.  The ad is invisible and is only heard.

Learn more about NetAudioAds today and start making money on all of your traffic.

DealDotCom - 2 Tier Affiliate - Great Promotion Tools

If you have been looking about this site lately you would have noticed that I added two dealdotcom features to this site. 

  1. A RSS feed at the bottom in the footer that is updated each day with new deals.
  2. A Deal of the day banner in teh right sidebar that is also updated daily with a new deal.

I’ve been experimenting with DealDotCom lately and I have been very impressed with the cool promotion features.  These features are straight out of the box and included with the dealdotcom affiliate program.  What makes them slick are that they are wordpress plugins.  All I had to do was

  1. Download the plugin code. 
  2. Install them both in my wordpress plugin folder
  3. Go into wordpress and activate the plugin.
  4. Add my affiliate ID from the options panel.
  5. Add the code to my theme to activate the template. 
  6. Or use a dealdotcom widget (Yes, this is even possible)
  7. Done

My site is instantly monetize with dealdotcom deals.  Once more, all of this is free.  All I had to do was sign-up for the dealdotcom affiliate program (FREE)and goto my account and get the plugins.  Painless, No difficult coding, No fuss..  What a great deal….

What do you think of the two new items..  Are they overpowering or do they make since.
