time and money

You wanted to start making money online, earn some side revenue online. What do you do?

You did some re-search and found a few programs (often promoted by some self-proclaimed famous marketer). You decided to hold on buying and so signed up for their free information.

Very soon you had signed up for a handful newsletter and you started to receive recommendation almost daily. You sign up for more programs, affiliates, income sources and received more recommendation newsletters.

Now you have an inbox choked full of newsletters you have no time to read.

First Performancing AdvertiserSince adding Performancing Partner to my sites less than 2 weeks ago, I got my first advertiser on FreeBizWare.

This was much faster than I had expected but the real joy was that it was on FreeBizWare. I’d alway maintained that FreeBizWare is one of the better blog that I had done. Text Link Ads however does not seem to think so and rejected the site a few times.

One thing about Performancing that I do not understand is how they set their auto pricing. Every once in a while I recieve emails informing me that my site has been priced. What was more mysterious was that I sold this first ads for $1 (!) and almost immediate after I approved it, most of my sites were increased to $25.

Well, I’m pretty excited and I hope my $1 advertiser get some business from the ads.

I am taking down Adsense on a few sites as a test after reading how one poorly converting site can “smart price” an entire AdSense account.

This was pretty old news (posted Oct 2005, a year ago) and it is a surprise that I had not ran across it all these while.

How much truth this piece of information still holds? Maybe my test and some research will show some results.
