Affiliate Program Options

So with you site up and running, what options do you have to incorporate your income?
You can install the most common of them all, Google Adsense. Google adsense pays ALOT. Heck of alot of money if you know how to game it on. It will cost you a few thousands of dollars to learn how to do it and I will not condone such a scam. On average, you get nearly PEANUTS for that. So in a few mths and even in a year, you can’t touch $100!Especially if you are starting out.

So what other options? Adbrite uses a technology called TERRESTRIAL ADS which will come up as if it’s part of the page,just like a frameset, and allowing you as the visitor to scroll and visit thru the advertiser’s page. The advertiser gets his landing page under the bottom 600px high window. Some offer rubbish money and like me, I pick and choose, and as much as $500 CPM or click-views per miilenium (thousand).

Bidvertiser is another option, and so far, for past 1yr, I only gained $5 from my wife’s Cooking Pages and my BBS Community Photopages. It’s BAD. But it’s cheap to advertise on.

Some of these programs show image ads instead of text links, so look for them. It’s dermographically set for the US mainly. So if you have great US visitors, then you are in for the kill. Or buy them in. That I will cover in another stage.
