Google and me

Text Link Ads have started a new site and this time it is shopping ads they have gone after. I tried all of the programs but so far I have not made a single dollar but maybe this time I strike luck. It can also be I do not have enough visitors on my site because some people makes a lot of money.

According to TLA the program is ok with Adsense and I am sure it is because the ads does not look like AdSense at all.

Right now they are in the beta test but if you want to sign up anyway you can do it by clicking on the add below. Remember this is invitation only for now.

I thought I found most of the Pay to blog Programs but I was wrong. Sure sometimes you find a site that you get paid for blogging but most of the time the opportunity halls are as empty as Morias mines is of Dwarfs.

Most of the blog for money sites do not have a working affiliate program but Smorty has one that pays you 5 – 10 % of the revenue that people advertise on blogs.

It took the support team only 24 hours to approve my blog for the first time and even if you don’t get paid that much from the start they give you change to make money when your “points” get higher.

They rank your blog from Alexa, PageRank and how many post you did for them in the past so the more you write the more likely it is that you going to get better paid opportunities in the future.

Kontera the text link ads provider have started to use Pay Pal as a payment provider finally. I can not understand serious affiliate companies that still pay by check. A person outside America has to pay almost 30 % of the check to the banks in extortion fees.

All you have to do to get your Pay Pal account in order is to answer Konteras emails when they ask you to confirm the ay Pal account. If you not got an email now then its time to start checking bulks filters and write to Kontera support.

Google Adsense might pay you less for the referral programs to make sure that the clicks are valid. For a while they will not give you as much as you should have (off course) and then after the test period they will give you the right amount. Google Adsense can not say how much less they actually will give you and they will not even say for how long they will do this. I have not made 1 dollar with referral yet so for me it does not bring much change.

It’s nice to be the biggest player on the market some times you set the rules and the rest will follow.

If you referral dating sites or something similar from Google we suggest this affiliate program until Google pays you real value for you clicks. We tried it on this free dating site with much success

Google Adsense is not the only company that pays you to put ads in or near videos. The company called Blinkx also does it and they do it very easy for us users. I signed up in 2 sec with just my email and password and that was it. I did not have any video so they provided me with one from Adsense that I could take and put on my blog and if some one click on the ads I get paid. Let see how well the do against the newly launched Google Adsense Video.

Affiliate Marketing and Google Adsense

Affiliate marketing can be defined by the agreement between a merchant and an affiliate website. An affiliate website agrees to post advertisements on its pages that are actually links to the merchant site or selling page. The merchant agrees to give the affiliate a certain compensation for posting a link on its websites.

Clicks versus Commission

There are different types of agreements when it comes to the type of compensation that a certain site receives from the merchant. It could be by commission or by pay-per-click. Commission-based payment is preferred by the merchant since they will only pay the affiliate when a sale has been closed. The pay-per-click method is preferred by the affiliate since they get paid for every click garnered from the link regardless if a sale has been closed or not.

Both Sides of the Bread are Buttered

Affiliate marketing has gained fame in the field of Internet marketing today. This is because of the advantages that both the affiliate and the merchant are gaining from it. For webmasters and web publishers, affiliate marketing is a great money-making option that does not require any more hassle and effort. For merchants, affiliate marketing has become a great option to advertise and sell at the same time with minimal cost and effort.

The Google Adsense Brand of Butter

Google Adsense is a type of affiliate marketing. Unlike other affiliate marketing agreements, Google Adsense involves three parties rather than two. Aside from the affiliate and the merchant Google serves as the middleman in this scheme. Advertisers and merchant submits their ads to Google with an agreement that Google that these ads will be posted on search engine results pages and other websites. On the other hand Google extends the opportunity to webmasters in the form of Google Adsense. By applying to Google Adsense, websites become affiliates that advertise merchant products and services.

Google Adsense has advantages that could not be attained while using the traditional affiliate marketing system. Advertisers benefit from Google Adsense by taking advantage of a wider-reaching advertising arm. Aside from this, Google posts merchant ads on sites that are related to the merchant’s product. If a merchant is selling candies, Google post its Ad on sites taking about candies. This means that merchants has quality traffic to introduce and sell their products to.

On the other hand affiliates and web publishers benefit from the scheme by taking advantage of the pay-per-click scheme. Unlike in the traditional affiliate marketing where most merchant prefers a commission based compensation, Google Adsense is a PPC tool. Affiliates are paid per click. Aside from this, Google provides tools to affiliates for better management of their Adsense account which is very unlikely to happen in traditional affiliate marketing schemes.

Affiliate marketing has indeed become an efficient internet marketing tool. Partnered with the Google Adsense option, earning opportunities are within reach of both affiliates and merchants. But remember that this is a business so it will contain a certain degree of risk. To ensure your success, you must research for related information before joining the bandwagon.

Problem getting money from Clickbank

ClickBank will withhold the first check to be issued from your account until the payable balance contains sales made with 5 or more different credit card numbers, including at least one Visa card and one MasterCard in order to be eligible to receive a check. PayPal and e-check purchases do not count toward the minimum. It is also required that the check balance reaches the Payment Threshold amount you have chosen in your account. The default Payment Threshold is set to $100; however you can change the Payment Threshold in your account at any time. You can put as low as $10 if you wish.

That said it can take a very long time before you see your money coming your way the first time so don’t expect to get rich soon.

Further if you not make a sale for a month they will take 5 $ from your account so you better watch your budget and make you maximize every time. So you keep on selling and every month.

A Closer Look at Adsense and Chitika

Adsense, as you knew it, is a medium for you to earn money from your site through the ads that you have linked to your page. As expected, when one thing is doing well in the market, a “competitor” will emerge to give the existing business fair competition. Thus, came Chitika. Though they both have the same purpose, there are still differences in their functions and features as no two programs can be exactly the same in features and services. To give you an overview of its differences, here is an outline highlighting the similarities and differences between the two programs:

Chitika Adsense
Period of program • Few months in the business • Few years in the business
Number of Clients • Has only few publishers now, but is continuously growing
• Has the largest number of publishers competing for the ads

Ads Presentation • Ads are in standard sizes.
• Ads are composed of a combination of image and text promoting only 1 product.
• Ads are interactive. There are provisions in the ad that change its color and font.
• Primarily text ads wherein advertisers can choose from the 10 standard sizes
• Image ads are limited. Images to be uploaded in the ads are subject to approval of Google
• Ads are limited to not more than three blocks per page.

Conditions of Service
• Bound by restrictions
• Bound by restrictions. Every time they modify, the more limitations they impose.

Features• Specific advertiser can be targeted in the search through Ad Block.
• Keywords rotate every certain day of the week or every time you refresh your search
• Font & color changes
• Background of ads can be enabled or disabled
• Search functions within ads can be enabled and disabled
• You’ll be able to identify high earners through a special feature called Channel
• Publishers can secure statistical data and analysis for the traffic logs
• Adlinks

Contextual Serving
• Contextual serving can be enabled or disabled depending on the preference of the advertiser
• Ads are based on the perspective of the page

Special Incentive Program• You can earn 10% of your referral’s earnings for 12 months.
• You will receive an amount of $100 on the condition that your referral will also earn the same.

Generally, based on the described features of the two programs, Chitika can be more profitable but if you prefer, you can use both in your site. Just make sure to turn off the contextual engine of the Chitika so your Adsense won’t be affected. Be cautious of the limitations of each program to avoid future problems.



Now that you have a good comparison between the two affiliate programs, it’s up to you to decide whether you’d go for the veteran in contextual advertising or the neophyte program. However, neophytes in the industry can become as good as the veteran or could even make it better in the services and features they offer. Good luck in your quest for a higher income using either Adsense or Chitika or even both programs but as you know i got rejected by Chitika
