CPMStar Review

Finally I was approved. This was the third time in the last two years and I guess the third time was lucky for me.

It’s pretty amusing that one will not find many reviews for this particular Ad network, one that is definitely worth a mention. Possibly because until not it was exclusive for bigger publisher and very difficult to get approved or maybe because they don’t have a webmaster referral program. ;-)

CPM star caught my eye a few years back as many of the entertainment site that I visited at that time were publishing their ads. Also while looking for affiliate programs for gaming sites, I noticed many of the top gaming sites work exclusively with them for affiliate management.

If you have a site in the entertainment niche [Adsense won’t bring you much], games, music, movie, videos, humour, CPMStar is guaranteed to bring huge revenue in comparison to other ad networks.

CPMStar ReviewsCPMStar is a CPA ad network which pays publishers for generating sign-ups for the most popular FREE multiplayer games online. The free factor ensures high conversions and till now I am yet to meet a publisher who is not doing well in the network [ provided they have decent traffic ].

I am getting around 25% conversion on the clicks and around 65% conversion from my gaming site.

As a website publisher you will be paid for generating sign-ups for CPMStar advertisers.

Off lately CPMStar has become more proactive towards reviewing publisher applications [ I noticed a considerable number of new sites working with the network]  and this time around you can sure to get a response from the staff. Sign-up has been made more responsive, wherein, a publisher account is immediately created once you are done with the signup form[ Previously an account was created only once you site was approved for the network].

Once you have created your account, you would need to submit your website details for approval before the ad code is provided to you. Personally, I would recommend that you put your best site forward [in terms of traffic]  and a site in the entertainment niche would have more chances of approval.

As a publisher you will have various banner ad options; leader board, half banner, sky scrapper, 300*250 and a 125*125.

I did read that they have a pop-under option as well, but for the moment that has not been made available to all publishers.

On my account I am generating an average of 45-55 cents per sign-up

And the best news is that they pay via Paypal, subject to a $50.00 USD minimum balance.

I would like to conclude that this is by far the BEST thing to happen to web publisher in the Entertainment niche as personally Adsense and other networks were very depressing  in terms of payment rates offered.

I would definitely recommend this program to webmasters and I personally know a few that have completely abandoned other ad networks and made space for CPMStar.

Getting started with Affiliate Marketing

Filed under: Affiliate Programs — Tags: , — kiviniar
7 Sep

To begin with, let me confess that I s**k when it come to affiliate marketing.

My affiliate earnings are pretty low (excluding the webmaster program referrals) and I am working hard on changing that.

If you are new to affiliate marketing, then to sum it all up, Affiliate marketing is one, wherein, you are paid a fixed/percentage commission on the income you are able to generate for an advertiser via your marketing efforts.

You link, your site visitor clicks on the link, they sign up or buy something on the clicked site and you get paid a fixed amount or a percentage of the income generated for the advertiser.

Now this post is all about building your own affiliate store in just a matter of minutes and making money out of it.

I would suggest that you initially add an affiliate store to your existing site to get the feel of it.

So we will now learn to create an Amazon affiliate store with a free script.

Amazon has an affiliate program, wherein, you can sell their products and earn a percentage in commission.

The reason why I choose them first, is because they have the largest portfolio of consumer good and so we can work with choice.

You will have to join their affiliate program to begin with. (Join Amazon Associates)

They do not have any restrictions for joining their affiliate program and all you have to do is fill up a brief application form with some details.

You can check their commission rates here: Associates Compensation

Now that we an affiliate account, we will need to use a script for setting up our affiliate store. The good thing is that we have a very beautiful script for just that, and it’s free.

31 May

Rob has just announced a new affiliate program for his popular blog directory Bloggeries.

Now this is good news for all webmasters as firstly this is one of the best blog directories around and also because of the hefty affiliate pay package.

Talking beyond pagerank (PR 6), Bloggeries has been able to establish itself as a reliable blogger resource and overtime has garnered much respect within the blogging community, mainly because of hosting one of the best blogging forums.

Rob announced the compensation plan to all the Bloggeries members and they are more than impressive.

The submission charge at Bloggeries is $ 49.99 for an annual featured listing and only $ 34.99 for a permanent link.

Considering the popularity of the directory, these would be fair prices.

The 2 tier affiliate commission offered by Rob is as such:

$20US for each approved / paid blog directory submission you send

$5US for each approved / paid directory listing that someone who you referred sends us.

So one can make upto $25 for each paid submission that one sends.

I would recommend this program to all webmaster and if you are interested in signing up, you could consider using my referral link.
