I did make money with Chitika

Do you know that Chitika was the first company I made money online from? In 2005, clicks from Asia were included and I did get a sum of money each month. Chitika was the reason I opened a PayPal account and I got my very first payment on Paypal through Chitika.

After that, I sort of forget all about Chitika because when they exclude clicks from the Asia continent, I wasn’t earning much anymore. I think I have neglected my Chitika account for 3 years already. Today, I decided to log in and I found I still have USD9 bucks there!

Above screenshot of my account with Chitika. So, I decide to check out what Chitika offers for bloggers. I am surprised that they now have so many types of ads that we can place on our blogs. Why not sign up Chitika and see for yourself? The below is my affiliate banner. :)

Get Chitika eMiniMalls

I have taken Chitika for a ride. I use the Related Products and placed it on my parenting blog. It fits nicely in the single page. You can view one of my post on high fever and note the Related Products ad.

Chitika also have the in link ads very much like Kontera. I have put the code on my blog but can’t see any links appearing yet. Beside that, I saw one white space ad. I didn’t use the code but I think Mac users and those with huge monitor will be able to see one ad appearing outside the theme of our blog. Interesting…

Now, I wonder how soon can I make money with Chitika? Enough for me to cash out the balance USD9 that has been around since 2005.

LinkXL - Now you can sell links without fear

I have tried out this LinkXL and actually, I am quite reluctant to share with others. You see, if more people join, I will probably get less shares of income. But on the other hand, if we don’t promote a company, they may not be able to find more publishers.

Advertisers like companies with a huge pool of publishers so that they can get what they are looking for. So, I shall not be so selfish and tell you about LinkXL. It is a new way of selling links on our blogs.

As I mentioned earlier, advertisers are getting smarter now. They want pages that have been indexed and they can evaluate a blog post before they put their links on them. Unlike paid post, advertisers sometime run the risk of getting lousy reviews but with LinkXL method, they are sure that their link will appear on a decent page.

I had taken it for a trial run. I know it is sneaky to insert links into our old blog posts. But hey, they are sitting there doing nothing if we don’t sell some links on them, right? Many of our blog internal pages have pagerank and hence, they are juicy links.

However, you do not have to worry about selling link juice (which can cause Googlesmack) because LinkXL has an option of selling no-follow links.

So, what are you waiting for? Sign up LinkXL now and see if it works for you. When I put up the plugin from LinkXL for one of my blog, immediately I get 10 offers! The nicest thing is you can upload and install the plugin and forget all about it. When it comes to month’s end, money will be sent to your PayPal. Easy-peasy, no crapping needed.

Is Kontera making money for your blogs?

During the Malaysia General Election’s traffic spike on my personal blog, I took off my Kontera links because they are so confusing to my readers. My readers on the personal blog are not tech savvy and I know those links are going to drive them to madness. The mention of the word ‘election’ will bring up several links in one post. (you can set the number of links to appear but I am too lazy) Moreover, the whole point during the election was to get people to catch up on the elections news and not to make money.

I personally find Kontera Links an annoyance sometimes. However, on certain blogs where I don’t care about readers’ experience, I do get rather fine income. So far, I have made a few hundred bucks from Kontera. It is slow but there is money to be made from there.

However, they only works on certain categories of blog. Making money and personal blogs are not money maker. But some categories do make about USD60-70 a month. So, I am still hanging on to Kontera eventhough I personally find those double underline (note that you cannot meddle with the codes to make it single underline) and little pop-up bubbles rather irritating.

After all, we are into making money and every little bit counts. If you want to make money with Kontera, you can sign up for Kontera ads here. It is ok to place Kontera with Google Adsense but you cannot have Kontera with paid posts.

Shoemoney heard that Google may do paid reviews

It could just be a rumor. It may be true, one day. Whatever it is, we who have blogs will herald this as good news.

So again…. there is no credible source that is saying Google is getting into the paid review marketplace but it would certainly seem like it would be a very good business move for them.

What do you think? Could we see Paid Reviews via the Adwords/Adsense system in 2008?

Shoemoney’s post

I enjoy reading the comments on “Google sucks”. You should too. Who cares if Google sucks as long as they have some products to help us make money? For us who are in Malaysia, it is not like we have many other options except for Nuffnang, selling some affiliate programs (aka braff peeples kind), paid posts, banner ads and text links.

So….are you hoping this could be true?

BTW, I hope none of you deleted off Blogitive paid posts because they warned me this morning when an advertiser cannot find the links. I didn’t delete them but I changed the permalink structures. The advertisers freaked out and I was warned by Blogitive to get the links working or I will be locked out of Blogitive. KNN, I have over USD200 unpaid yet. Note that Blogitive links are permanent….

Anyway, I mailed them the new URLs and everything is solved.
