Highly recommended: Become a Bloggeries Affiliate

Filed under: Affiliate Programs, Cash Cow — kiviniar
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.

Chitika: Not just products anymore

Filed under: CPM Programs, Cash Cow — Tags: , , — kiviniar
13 May

I just love this year.

Every ad vendor is coming up with better performing ads and making money is a whole lot easier for website publishes. In just a couple of months I have tested some great display ad options and well my site income has seen atleast a 35% increment with these new ad options.

The latest being Chitika.

I have been with Chitika for sometime now. They provide product units as ad options and pay on CPC basis.

I am happy with the network but the only problem in maximizing these ad units was that in my niche not every site visitor was looking for something to buy (p.s.These units work best of tech blogs, gadget, product reviews, etc).

But just got this great news from Chitika. Chitika has just released their first non product based unit that is integrated in the new Chitika premium ad units.

So basically instead of just seeing shopping ads, you will actually get non product ads.

However, before you use this ad option remember that you should only consider using them if you have a considerable traffic coming from the U.S.

A little info on Chitika Premium from the Official Chitika Blog :

What is this? A smart, personalized targeting ad solution that provides premium content. This ad unit is CPC and is designed to be your highest performing ad unit (eCPM).

Who should use this ad unit? Chitika | Premium ads are a great fit for any website with any type of content including finance, travel, sports, etc. If your website gets a lot of U.S. traffic, then Chitika | Premium ads are a perfect match for you.

When will this ad unit display on my site? Chitika | Premium ads will only show to U.S. traffic, and since they are behaviorally targeted they will only display to SOME U.S. users. When your Premium ad unit does display for a visitor it will show them advertisements they are interested in (because, after all, it’s behaviorally targeted).

What happens when Chitika | Premium does not display? The ad simply collapses into nothing. You can show an alternate URL in it’s place.

So how do you preview this ad unit?

You can preview in 3 steps:
1. Paste the code up on your site.
2. In your address bar add
#chitikatest=mortgage to the end of your page URL.
3. Press ENTER then Ctrl + R to refresh your page.

This will show you what the ad would look like to a user who is interested in “mortgages.” You can replace “mortgages” with your keywords to view other ads, just make sure you then REPEAT STEP 3.

Update: Just a question that I asked support

Can Chitika Premium be used along with Google Adsense?

* Since the release of our flagship ad unit eMiniMalls, Chitika has always provided products and services you can use in conjunction with other services. Thats right - we have no restrictions for using Chitika products with any other revenue-earning ad units on your website.

We’ve received many questions from users asking if Chitika | Premium can be used alongside Google Adsense on their pages. Chitika | Premium is not a text-ad; it’s an interactive, image-enabled widget that is non-contextual and behaviorally targeted. Because of this, you should be able to use both ad units on your page together without being in violation.
