Make Money Online with Kiviniar

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 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.

So I too decided to join Project Wonderful and was pretty happy when my site got approved to participate in their marketplace.I was in a hurry to start selling ad space on my sites and like any other webmaster I was pretty excited to be able to monetize the extra space on my sites.

But within a few hours, I removed their ad code as something was bothering me.

I suddenly realized that one of my most guarded secret (I don’t even share this with my advertisers) was out in display and I was not so comfortable with that.

For all Project Wonderful publishers, a detailed stats page is created, wherein, you will find all the possible stats related to your site on which you are selling PW ads.

I was not so happy to see my traffic referrals as that is one thing that can be easily used by a competitor to gain an advantage over my site.

I have a few traffic source that I would not like to disclose and the fact that everyone could see it did not please me.

So Project Wonderful is in the selves for me at the moment, I have sent a support ticket to see if I can turn off that particular stat display. (Will update you on the reply I receive)
I know I sound a bit cynical, but with some sources sending me a couple of thousand visitors in free traffic, I prefer to take guard.

However, I would stress that Project Wonderful is a great way to monetize your sites.

You might want to try them, here are some Project Wonderful testimonials that you can read.

(Highly recommended for webmaster who are not in a position to directly search for client to advertise on their sites)

Problem Solved (Hats Off for a Great Response Time):

Hi Kiviniar,

When you block the referrer what we do is treat them as if they arrived
without telling us where they came from. In other words, we’ll still be
reporting them as hits etc.

So your other stats will be the same as if you hadn’t blocked the
domains from displaying.

I have had them for exactly 12 days and now that I crossed a small milestone, I thought it best to share my earning stats.

Voxant is the best CPM network that I have joined and if you have a site with good traffic then I would highly recommend them to you.

I am running their widgets on three sites and I am almost at $10 per day and hope to push that to $30 per day now that I plan to use them on my other sites too.

The only disadvantage with Voxant widgets is that they need quite a lot of space.

But if you can accommodate them like I  did then it will work very well.

Voxant pays a flat rate based on CPM (per thousand impressions) and also for their text and image content widgets, you donot need any kind of clicks to generate a commission.

You can read my initial review here:  Voxant Newsroom

On my program rating scale I have give them a 5/5

These stats are for 6-17th Feb

You must have heard about Pay Per Post or you are a member already. Well if you were contemplating joining them, but were not able to sumit your blog for inclusion as you blog was not 90 days old the you can sigh with relief.

Payperpost has just today updated their TOS and have change the minimum age requirement for approving new blogs into their system.

Now a blog can participate in their scheme if they are just 30 days (1 month) old.

Minimum Blog Age. Blogs must be live for a minimum of thirty (30) days, counted from the date of the blog’s first post, with at least ten (10) pre-existing posts written in the 30 days prior to registration with the PayPerPost Marketplace.

This I guess will be a big relief for people who are new to blogging and wanted to use Pay Per Post for make an extra buck with their blogging skills.

So if you always wanted to know how to support your blogging and at the same time make money online, then this is definitely one of the best schemes out there.

For those of you who are not a part of PayPerPost, I guess this is the best time to review this paid blogging system.

Pay Per Post is one of my top three paid blogging networks.

So I have been off topic for quite some time. Actually I should be blogging more about the money making schemes available to webmasters and so I am now doing my first review of a very interesting ad network, “NetAudioAds™ Pay-Per-Play”

Today I would be reviewing a quite unknown concept called Pay Per Play and a new ad network.

All of you must have heard of Pay Per Click (PPC), but the concept of Pay Per Play would be new to many.

This marketing concept has taken ground on the fact that the masses are moving from the conventional source of media, the television to the internet.

The simple reasons being that the power to choose is completely in the hands of the online surfer, than the television viewer. And hence the migration.This being the case, television advertisers are now looking to the Internet as an alternate form of advertising.
