Monetize Through Twitter

MAGPIE

In magpie you can choose which advertisers' tweets you want to show and also choose the frequency of magpie tweets which is by default 1 magpie tweet per 10 tweets. You have to add a personal disclaimer to your magpie tweets(like ad:) before or after the tweet so that your followers know that it is not a normal tweet but a magpie tweet.
You are paid according to the ad type. Some ads are pay per view others are pay per sale. Once you have collected 50 pounds you can cashout through paypal. You can also use the money which you have earned to advertise your own tweets.

Here is an example of a magpie tweet:



Join Magpie.

TWTAD

TWTAD is quite different from magpie. In twtad you add your ad tweets manually whereas in magpie it is automated and the other difference is that there is no personal disclaimer in twtad. In twtad you have a lot of choice because you can select any of the ads from the list.

When your account reaches 20$ you can cash out via paypal. Cashouts are processed on thursday and friday of every week.
Here is an example of a twtad tweet:

TwittAd

Twittad is a very different from the above. In twittad you get price per follower which is calulated using this site What your tweet's worth. Twittad monetizes your twitter background by displayong the ad on your twitter background. Plus you have to display one tweet of the advertiser at the time of sell as well as at the end of the tenure. You can sell ads for a period of 7days, 15days, 1month and 3 months.

A new feature added to twitter is opt-in Ad Campaigns where you can choose which ad-campaigns you would like to publish.

Once your balance reaches 30$ you can withdraw money and get oaid through patypal.

Here is an example who sold the ad for a week at 2.5$ having 1727 followers.

ADCAUSE

Adcause is a relatively new but promising method to monetize through twitter.

Publishers can make themselves available to advertisers by creating an open ad spot. The ad spot consists of a description box to tell advertisers why they should buy, duration options (1 - 3 months), ad frequency customization (1 out of 5 - 20 tweets is an ad), and price point.
Once created, your spot can then be seen by advertisers, who, if they like what they see, can pay you via PayPal. Each audience type - publisher or advertiser - has its own dashboard with ad-related info for managing ad buys and current spots.






Advertisers can search for the right Twitterers by Twitter name, tag, follower/following numbers, and location. Each search will return available ad spots matching the specified criteria. From that view, advertisers can click to purchase via PayPal, or negotiate a better deal. When a deal is made, the advertiser’s marketing message will automatically start to appear inline in the Twitter stream of the Twitterer in question.

LinkShowOff-Sell Links!!!

Earlier I talked about a service named ScratchBack which helps selling links the automated although choose to approve the advertisers manually. The main problem with ScratchBack was that they take 10% of your income which can be huge if your site is good, plus the minimum amount for payment was 25$ which can be huge for small publishers.

Another service similar to ScratchBack is launched named LinkShowOff. This service is relatively new but is better than ScratchBack because the minimum amount limit for payment is just 10$!!

We charge a small fixed transaction fee of $3 on every payout made monthly to our widget users

.

How are Links Placed then?

Links stay on the widget forever until they are bumped off by newer links. For example, if you set a max amount of five links on your widget and you achieve that number, the next link bought will take the place of the first link, the first link will be bumped down to the second link, and so on. The fifth link would be removed overall from the widget

So you see the concept is similar to ScratchBack.

You can display either 5,10,15 or 20 per widget.

Payments are paid through Paypal.

It is a good avenue to earn money through your site.Try it!
And If you wanna add your link just add to the widget right to this post.

Got my payment

I just got my payment(55$) from widgetBucks All the payment was made through cpc ads and affiliate earnings.WidgetBucks. is a good alternative for adsense and sometimes proves to be better earner than adsense.

Affiliate Program
Affiliates can earn a 15 percent referral fee based on the commissions earned by the people they refer. Affiliates receive this 15 percent for the full 12 months after the new member joins

Higher eCPMs:
WidgetBucks exceeds traditional publisher's CPM targets of $1-$2

Google Adsense Reports Embedded in Blogger

Today I saw a Monetize link next to the Layout link in my Blogger Dashboard





On clicking on the link I saw an embedded Google Adsense Reports for the blog itself.
A much needed feature this will show reports seperate blogs, this will be quite handy as there are no channels for adsense available in blogger. So instead of these channels we can see reports of each Blog.

Adsense Reports Embedded in Blogger

Plus in the coming days we might have other features such as layout of the adsense ads and also changing colours through palette

Update:

You will also see a new adsense channel of your blog in the google adsense reports which might look like this:

Bye Bye Google Video Ads

Inside AdSense: Sunsetting video units feature

Google Adsense reviews its products after certain period of time and it has found that the Google Video Units are not working. They are retiring this feature at the end of April. All the video ad units will be converted to youtube players and there will be no further earning from it.

It's a bad news for all the publishers who were earning a major amount from it. Plus it had a good revenue earning potential.

Rotating Banner Ads

Rotating Banners are required for showing various referral links. You can place these above your blog posts or on the header porion.

But the problem is we do not want to code it ourselves so here's a solution
visit http://www.htmlbasix.com/banner.shtml

You just require the link of the image to be displayed alongwith the link of the referral, and then you are up and running.
You can also change the size accordingly and determine the refresh rate.

Pluck On Demand

Nowadays web advertising has reached a new level. New and different ideas have been developed by these ingenious minds. First there were shopping ad widgets made by the Widgetbucks.Pluck On Demand is one such great advertising idea.

Pluck On Demand combines quality content with advertising. Pluck On Demand adds substance to these websites by adding related content from various big sites such as ehow.com, expertvillage.com etc. And to add to this the users can view and comment on this content. This means good quality content on your website and hence more number of page views. As this content comes bundled with advertisements and hence there is more revenue earning potential.

Pluck on Demand shows related content and tags according to the content of your website (as google adsense displays ads related to website content).It is javascript based and therefore will not affect search engine results.

It takes few minutes to complete the installation of all the widgets.If wou want to preview what content will be displayed on your site before signing up just visit this site

Pluck On Demand is patnered by Kontera.(You will see Text-In Advertising in all this content.)

Here is an instructional Video:

Add content and social media to any website -- powered by Pluck On Demand

The Beta version is available only for US publishers.

Publishers will be paid through paypal 30 days after 10$ are accrued to an account.

Money4Banners-The Money will flow

I have been a irregular blogger for some time. So my earnings got way below my previous earnings but what was a life saver was Money4banners. One of my websites got accepted at the time i was regular and i got a 10 pound sign up bonus. What's in return to putting ads at only one three pages i got 10 pound monthly. This wasn't a considerable amount but when my sites became dormant and didn't earn much(cause of my irregularities) i got 10 pounds monthly just by putting the ads and nothing else.

Money4banners has worked like a charm for those sites which didn't earn much by pay-per-click and pay-per-impression ads.

And you get 10 pounds for every domain you get approved.

The various terms and the implemented versions of the ads can be seen in my previous post

Smorty- Get Money for your opinion

Smorty is a service which gives money for your opinion about a website or a product.
I got to know about this site from doshdosh and liked it because it requires only one link to the advertiser's site and it requires your own original opinion.

How it Works?

You get paid to blog and the advertisers get a paid advertising for their blog. By this advertisement they get better traffic and therefore increase their viewership.

How Much they Pay?

The minimum amount per post is 6$ and the maximum money depends on the page rank of your website i.e. the more is the page rank the more money you get for a single post.

Smorty has a unique smorty scoring which increases as the more no of posts you submit successively. You get more money if youhave a better smorty score.

How Am I Paid?

They pay via paypal.
They Pay weekly and this is the feature i like the most because other blog advertising networks pay monthly or bi-weekly.

It takes around 72 hours to approve a blog.
The blog must be indexed by google and yahoo and should be 3 months old.

We all cash with UCASH

My main motive is to find new ways to increase the earning potential of users and website publishers.

Recently i got a mail from flixya of Ucash which is a unique way to make money from links from social bookmarking,websites and forums.

Wat is to be done???

Just place the link and earn.
Place the link and you will start earning.

How does it work??

You earn money for impressions of ads. Now you get impressions when somebody clicks on your link.

Secondly the it cuts the original into a small url.(for eg sites like tinyurl)

The User is redirected to the link

ADS are displayed in two ways:

Intermission ads (see example) are displayed before the destination page loads.

Top banner ads (see example) are displayed in a small top frame above the site you are linking to.

How much will I Earn??

Now i thought that i will earn very less from it but i suppose a person can make money easily from it.

The current Revenue Sharing Rate (RSR) is $1 US for every 4000 top frame impressions and $1 US for every 2000 intermission impressions

I suppose this may not earn much but still it will get you some extra income.

You also earn by referring and the special thing is that there are 10 referral levels.

Just refer your link by mail,forum or website.



So u still earn if others earn from your referral.
see this example

How Will i be paid??

Payment will be processed via paypal,Epassport or Moneybookers

What is the Minimum amount For Payment??

Minimum Amount is 15$

Kontera's New Publisher Center Up and Moving

Kontera's Publisher Center is on. Kontera have started the new publisher's center which was in beta stage as earlier posted.

I used Kontera just for trial basis in a small blog and viewed their stats.

I must say the stats reporting is awesome and may be the best in the ad networks.

It includes many features rarely to to be found in ad reports.

I would list some of its prominent features:

1. They have added a report including the number of clicks,Click through rate (CTR %), effective CPM(eCPM)-This is usually there in almost every ad network.
   
2. The monthly revenue graph- Which displays daily statistics i.e the number of clicks in each day of the month(is in some of the ad networks)
   
   
   
   
3. Keyword Reporting - The most important feature, It gives the clcik through rate per keyword





4. URL Reporting - As kontera can be used in any website therefore you need stats according to URL. Kontera provides the CTR rate for the 20 URL's in a week





5. Now easily change colour with a small color selector as and when you want.

Bidvertiser Feed ADS adding more features

As i mentioned in my previous post bidvertiser has launched its new feeds.
The problem with their feeds was that no tracking could be done as they provided a separate feed containing feed ads.

Bidvertiser has added new features to feed ads which are as foloows:

1. Wordpress plugin for wordpress users which makes it easier to embed into websites.
2. Ad codes that can be placed in feedburner feeds which i think was the most necessary because i was not able to track my feed subscribers easily.
3. Now blogger ads can easily placed in the footer on each and every post feeds.

Here are ways to add link to feedburner so you can view its statistics from feedburner

ADSENSE's Second Thought about removing adsense referalls

As i wrote in my previous post that adsense is removing referrals for publishers outside North America, Latin America, or Japan will not get any commision even if the referred users are from these countries.

Due to revolt and unhappiness of the publishers and many responses they received from fellow bloggers they have decided to give publishers referral income to all publishers referring publishers from North America, Latin America, or Japan

Adsense stated:

The changes to referrals promoting AdSense will now depend on where your users are located, regardless of your location as a publisher. You'll earn $100 for every user you refer to AdSense who is located in North America, Latin America or Japan when they generate $100 in AdSense revenue within 180 days and they remove all payment holds. You'll no longer be paid for users you refer who are located elsewhere. These changes will go into effect the last week of January.

So it is a win-win situation for both the publishers and adsense.

Make money from HTML advertisements on blogs

On my quest for new and good ways to monetize a website i came across a very good site Money4banners. The great thing about this site that it offers flat rate of 5 pounds per month display of three full banner ads(468X60). It requires submission of 3 URLS of the same domain name.The max number of ads displayed per domain is fixed to 3.

But one can submit more than one domain.So you are getting a recurring 5 pound per domain.

It is best monetization technique for bloggers who aren't earning from adsense.

For blogspot users - the HTML code provided by money4 banners can embedded in any three blog posts

Here is an example

Adsense Refferal program being removed

Adsense is removing adsense refferals for users outside North America, Latin America, and Japan. Is it fair for us. I don't think so,i am getting my traffic from US and have increased my revenue by refferals. Acoording to adsense these regions are not performing very well(outside North America, Latin America, and Japan).

Adsense quotes:

For publishers not located in any of the three regions detailed above, we'll soon be retiring referrals promoting AdSense. We've found that this referral product has not performed as well as we had hoped in these regions. Again, please keep in mind that you can still generate referrals for the other products listed under the 'Referrals' section of your AdSense Setup tab.

Soon, you'll no longer see the option to create a referral button for AdSense in your account, although existing buttons will display as normal. This specific referral type will then be retired during the last week of January - any users who meet the conversion criteria (reaching $100 in earnings within 180 days of sign-up and removing all payment holds) before the change will generate earnings of $250 for the referring publishers. Any conversions which occur after this change is made will not be recorded in your account. You may wish to begin replacing any existing referrals promoting AdSense with referrals for another product or an AdSense for content unit.

I must say if they aren't you can still have lesser commision for each refferal in these regions, but the refferals should not be removed.
Many of the site's sole income source is by reffering users to adsense and other ad networks.

What do you say,give your views and enter the poll on the right sidebar.
