The Big Adsventure

Today I heard about a new ad project which lets you display ads from various ad networks on your website. Based on your content, type of site and demographics of your visitors, the best performing ads will be selected to be displayed on your site. The service is not available yet, but looking at the 4 minute demo video on the Rubicon Project website, I think this is a very interesting way to manage your ad space.

Looking at the team behind the Rubicon Project plus the $6 million in funding that they have secured, this has to be a winner!

The big number in web2.0 seems to be 43. There are a lot of sites with lists that contain 43 items. There is 43 Blogs, 43 things to do in this
life, 43 people you want to meet and even a blog about nothing
but 43.

Today a brand new site has been launched: 43Ads This new link selling website has a front page with, you’ve guessed it: 43 links. Anyone who has a little bit of cash to spend can get a link on the site and you will stay on there until other people, with more cash to spare, have pushed you off. But being pushed off of the page is not a loss, because you get your money back plus a little profit on top of that!

Rob Benwell has written an e-book on how to make money using blogs. His method does not require posting a lot to get enough visitors to the blog itself, but rather using several blogs to drive traffic to an affiliate site. Robs book, Blogging to the Bank is full of interesting thoughts on how to drive traffic to a website using blogs.

It all sounds very logical and running a blog directory myself, I notice a lot of submissions to the directory of these exact type of blogs lately. I don’t want these type of blogs in my directory and only approve the ones that are real blogs, but there are tons of directories that will accept these sites and let you build traffic to them.

Here’s a cool concept: buy a link and the price doubles, now if someone else buys for the new price, you get your money back (but you get to keep your link) On the next round you get the same amount you paid again, so you just doubled your money. This is Advertising 2.0 at mmmzr.

The only problem is that the price of the links go up unbelievably fast and will soon hit a point where people will probably not buy anymore. Not a real problem for me though, I’ve doubled my money and actually gotten quite a few visitors from the site!

Scott Boulch has just released his ‘Life After AdSense’ report, the sequel to ‘The Death Of AdSense’ After telling us all about how a change made by Google has affected the income that can be generated with AdSense, in this report he shares his ideas on how to make a good pile of money with other programs. Like the first report, this one is also free of charge for everyone: download the report for free

Well my AdSense account has never realy been alive… I am making a few bucks with the ads but not nearly as much as some people claim they make.

Looking for some new AdSense tips to share here I found The Death Of AdSense, a report about why AdSense doesn’t work anymore and how to make money on the internet with other programs. The author writes about how he got from $500 a month to $50.000 a month, moving from AdSense to other programs. I have not had the time to read the full report yet but you can download the report for free and have a look.

With all the blogs around advertisers are seeing new opportunities to market their service or product. Of course you see AdSense™ ads on many blogs, but lately there’s a new trend in blog advertising: advertisers paying the blogger to write a blog entry about their service or product.
The good thing about this kind of advertising is that the visitors will think it’s a normal blog entry and not an ad, and so they will be more likely clicking on the link and visit the advertisers site. On the other side this type of advertising could also diminish the overall quality of some blogs, where they will be posting an ‘objective’ review of a service or product while they only really posted it to make some quick bucks…
