As Google is King of the Internet, its Adsense is the best advertising application nowadays especially on the CPC (cost-per-click) model.
There have been countless success stories about bloggers who made money online because of Adsense.
I count myself as among them. But not anymore.
CPALead is a cost-per-action type of advertising where you get paid when a visitor fills up a survey that converts into a successful lead before they can access your web site’s content.
I registered last January 22 and already earned $824.91 in 5 months; still a far cry from many webmasters I know who earns that much in less than a month.
But considering that I only have this one site to maintain and I still don’t understand how portions of it work, I think that’s respectable.
There are four monetize methods that CPALead offers: Free Surveys, PayPal, Trial Offers and Purchase Offers.
Which is better, Infolinks or Clicksor?
Today, I decided to stick to one and junk the other.
I have been utilizing Infolinks since April 2009 while Clicksor only last November 2009.
Both of these advertising networks offer a good complement to Google Adsense. I use Infolinks for its in-text ads (those links that appear in texts of a web page) while I use Clicksor for its interstitial ads (those ads that appear in-between pages).
Youtube, the most popular video sharing website was created by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim; three former PayPal employees last February 2005.
The domain name www.youtube.com was activated on February 14, 2005 but it was not until April 23 at 8:27 PM that the first video was uploaded to YouTube.
To commemorate that historic event, here’s the very first YouTube video titled “Me at the zoo” showing founder Jawed Karim at the San Diego Zoo, California, USA.
There are actually countless advertising and affiliate networks that you can utilize in order for your web site to earn some cash.
There’s this adage that rings true when it comes to making money online, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket”. Meaning, don’t focus on just one advertising or affiliate network. Try to experiment and see what works for you.
However, remember that you have to generate traffic to your site first before you can make money. How can you if no one is clicking on those ads right? The best way still is to do some SEO (search engine optimization) work. Check out my top 100 keywords.
For my making-money-online venture, I don’t rely just on Google Adsense alone.
Yes, Adsense is my bread and butter but in order for me to maximize my income, I utilize other advertising networks as well. There are also times when Adsense ads won’t show up due to some “stop words” that can trigger the commercial ads to be replaced by public service ads. Like this post I made about Marge Simpson’s Playboy spread which contains some nudity (NSFW).
So even though Adsense ads won’t appear, I have other alternative ads. I already mentioned Chitika from which I received my first payout after 4 months. The second income generator for me is Infolinks.
