Blogging is a Career
Two in the last few months, I was paid $200 ($130 after commision) to write a 200 word post. This was done thru SponsoredReviews. I rarely actually write PayPerPost blog entries, as I'm already too busy, but it seems to me that this could easily be a career. There are dozens of opportunities from...
Chitika CPM $0
My Chitika CPM for the last 3 days has hit $0 CPM with zero clicks. I use it only for alternate ads when AdSense won't give me one, but that's still 10,000 per day. No revenues? No clicks? Really?! I still haven't found another worthy alternate, so I'm in no rush to change anything. I'm consider ...
PayPal followup
I got a response from PayPal regarding the problems I've been having. They responded that since I sell virtual goods, I'm not covered under their seller protection plan. Huh?! AKA? If you buy any virtual goods via PayPal, then you need only dispute the charge and you get your money back. WTF? Hel...
PayPal Liability
This month, I ran into a situation that blows a hole in the PayPal model. A user bought a subscription to one of my websites (3 months at $10 per month). Of course, PayPal gets a $1.77 of the $30 paid. After the months, the user files a charge back with their credit card company for $20. PayPal c...
Removing PSAs?
Of late, my Talk-Sports website has been displaying more and more AdSense PSAs. At first, there was so few of them that I didn't bother adding an alternate ad. But, as time went on, I encountered more and more of them and decided that is was finally time to do something about it. I added alternat...
AdWords Keyword Insertion
A few days ago, I found AdWords Keyword Insertion. I've been looking for something like this for quite awhile. It may be a great way of increasing your click-thru-rate on your ads. I'm gonna test it out.

BlogAds Still Really Sucks!
For the last while, I've been removing BlogAds ad units from my website. I've had numerous problems. Today, I got a new order on an ad unit that I thought was abandoned. The order was for a unit that use to get 2 million impressions per month. It turns out, there was one spot where I didn't remov...
Voxant Ups and Downs
Of late, Voxant Newroom has been my best advertising program. On the other hand, I've had my problems. This week, I got my funds via PayPal. It's really hard to give up on these guys when they are paying well. It's quite a battle. Am I ready to put up with occasional problems on my website for th...
Voxant Problems
It didn't take long, but only a couple weeks after I announced that Voxant Rocks, I've decided to stop using it. Why? Because I've encountered page rendering problems for the second time that cause my website to behave badly. Although I'm making great money with Voxant, I cannot put up with the l...
Webvertization.com
I'm moving this blog to a new domain. Originally, the intent of this blog was to figure out how to best use AdWords to promote websites. Then, I expended into AdSense and Analytics, other advertising servers and just about anything about making money online.
Wanting to move the blog to its own d...
