GOOGLE ADSENSE |
Rating: 10/10
AdSense is Google's entry to
the online advertising network market. They are allowing their AdWords
(PPC listings) to be shown on content sites for a share of the income.
As far as ad networks go, AdSense works much, much better. You will find
yourself making a lot more from their listings than you would from ad
agencies like Burst. Many people are also finding that the return is better
than that which they receive from affiliate programs.
The reason for this is due to the fact that Google is a search engine.
It's their job to know what your page is about. Therefore, they have the
ability to only show highly targeted ads on your pages. This means that
your visitors are only seeing ads that relate directly to the information
that they are reading.
Now, the key to AdSense is this - they will only accept content based
sites. This means that you must provide useful information. To really
get the most out of AdSense, you need to provide useful content that will
keep people coming back to your site.
Google is quite strict when it comes to the rules
for their AdSense program - justifiably so. You
cannot click on links on your own site, you cannot ask people to click
on the links, you cannot tell people how much you
make and so on. It's very important that you read and understand all the
rules.
The rules may seem a bit over the top but they are designed to maintain
the integrity of the network. That way, everyone benefits - you the publisher,
the advertiser and Google.
So, sign up if you have a quality site and make sure you play by the rules.
It's a great program that Google have set up and it'll work well if you
do the right thing.
Payments are made at the end of each month for the previous
time, minimum amount you have to earn to be paid is $100.
Note: Click

CLIX GALORE
| Rating: 9/10
clixGalore is a massive affiliate
network that offers an enormous range of affiliate programs to choose
from.
If you run a �niche� site and are having a difficult time finding advertisers,
you may be able to find something to fit your needs on their network.
Unfortunately however, their size also seems to hinder their capability
of providing quality customer support.
They state on their site that they will automatically send payment once
you hit a specific threshold ($50).
