Text link Ads is by far the most loved ad program among the affiliates and many bloggers because they pay one of the highest referral bonus. For every person who signs up through your referral you get $25 and i think it is one of the easiest way to earn. TLA has some heavy requirements for blogs and sites to get admitted into the program like PR3 and decent traffic. One sad fact is that although the google page rank is almost dead for the five months TLA still relies on them and they have to conceptualize other judging criteria.
TLA is also a great place to buy links for your site. You can handpick the sites where you want your links to be up. They are offering a 15% off for links brought in the month of october. All you have to do is type in the word holidays at checkout. The good fact is that the discount stays on for ever as long as you are with TLA.
One of the best ways to make money of your blog or website is to sell space to advertising networks. There are basically two types of adversting methodologies namely those which pay per plick and those which pay based on the number of impressions. Many of the advertising networks like adsense use a combination of both. Widget Bucks is a new player in this arena and as the name implies it displays widgets in your site with ads related to shopping. When a user clicks on the ads you get paid and one good thing is that they don’t have to purchase the product.
$25 Sign Up Bonus
Widget Bucks is paying a $25 sign bonus for everyone and the minimum payout amount is $50. I think it will not be very difficult to get paid unlike auction ads where it is a mere impossibility for small sized blogs. Widget bucks had said that the eCPM will be around $3 to $6 and it is generally more than adsense. I have been running Widget bucks in one of my blogs and it seems to be promising. The ads can be embedded into blogger, wordpress or type pad with the click of a button. It will carry on the test run for a week or so.
