Everton and several other users are publishing their blog earnings every month and I thought that I would do a similar thing with the exception that I will not publish the absolute numbers but only the percentage of what the service is earning. I feel not that comfortable to reveal my earnings in dollars because I feel that it belongs to my private life.
Money Makers: Firefox Referrals
This is already the fourth article in the Money Makers series which are hopefully a great read for webmasters who try to earn some money from their websites. This time I’m going to introduce a method of earning money by making users download and install Firefox with the Google Toolbar. I have picked this one from all the referrals that Google Adsense offers because I firmly believe in Firefox and use the Google Toolbar myself to check pageranks for instance. Whenever a user downloads and installs Firefox with the Google Toolbar you earn up to $1 depending on the location of that user.
Money Makers: Auction Ads
This is the third part in my Money Maker series. The first part dealt with the CPM ad network Tribalfusion, the second took a look at text link advertising. This time it is a relative new service called Auction Ads created by the famous Shoemoney (that is the guy that is posing with checks from Adsense and Azoogle Ads on his website. (his biggest Adsense check was over 132000 Dollars in August 2005 and his biggest Azoogle Ads 500000) Well, Shoemoney knows the business quite well and came up with an incredible idea.
Money Makers: Text Link Ads
This is the second article in my Money Makers series. The first took a look at the Tribalfusion CPM network which could only be joined if the website met some requirements like 2000 daily unique visitors. This time I’m going to concentrate on text link ads and especially on the company with the same name. They are a text link broker that sell links on your site to advertisers who in return pay you and text-link-ads for this link.
Money Makers: Tribalfusion CPM Ads
Tribalfusion is one of the few companies that thrive on CPM, that is Cost per Thousand, advertising campaigns which is not that hard to get into. It actually took only two weeks until I got accepted and could run a cpm banner campaign here on ghacks. The advantage of CPM ads is of course that you do not need to think much about ad placement and layout unlike CPC, that is cash per click, ads like Google Adsense or Yahoo Publisher Network. You do get paid a fix amount of money depending on the type of banner ads that are displayed on your website. The range usually is between $0.50 up to about $2 per 1000 impressions on your website which can sum up nicely if you have lots of traffic.
