Does Time Or Day Matter For Publishing Content?

That is a question that has been circulating and many have speculated or indeed have commented and posted about their success at various times of the day and days of the week for publishing content to their blogs. And as you know, once content is published, normally a ping is made to various bookmarking sites or the content is manually added at the Bookmarking sites and traffic then hopefully flows to your new content. And that is where this post concentrates on. Getting your article or content noticed on the social bookmarking sites. So is there an ideal time to publish that new spiffy article? Well over at Third Rail the answer is YES, and he has done some in depth stat gathering to back up that claim.

So what is the best time? According to his information and analysis, the best time to publish and be noticed is Thursdays at noon PST time. But a closer look also reveals that Tuesday through to Friday are all "hot time" zones for publishing between the hours of 10am- 2pm PST. That means publishing at night or on weekends lessens your chance of being a success on the bookmarking social sites. I suggest heading on over to Third Rail if you want to learn more about this claim and analysis. Maybe some publishing changes are in order now?? :)

Have You Started Making Money Playing Audio Ads?

I ask this question because pay per play audio advertising is going to be the next wave of advertising online. This is a relatively new form of advertising online and the opportunity to make substantial money with this program is still wide open for those who act fast. After all this program is still in its infancy and is still "Beta".

What exactly is it?
Think of adverts you hear when you listen to the radio. Now place that same type of advertising on websites. 5 second clips of sound. Now you have pay per play audio adverts. These adverts are purchased by someone desiring to advertise and they buy advert slots for specific times of the day, country, region, or more local in geographic nature and then when a visitor comes to your site fitting their "needs" an advertisement is played. The best part about this is you get 100% conversion rate! That mean no clicking or worrying that your visitor has to do something for you to get paid. They only need visit your site and the ad is played. Even if they do not have a sound card or if the sound is turned off! Now this program is still in Beta so not all visitors qualify for an advert, but when the program starts to ramp up, the goal is to get enough advertisers to make all your visitors qualify for an advert. When that day comes you will possibly earn money on all of your web traffic. No questions asked! But will you have the ad code added to your site?
why wait? sign up today and get your membership and code while the program is still in Beta.

How long will it be in Beta?
Well according to the latest news releases, an Audit by a well known accredited third party auditor has assessed this new program and are about to release the findings and from what has been released. It is Great news! Meaning advertisers will be able to buy with confidence knowing this program is solid and works!

Can I Make Money Selling Advertising?
That is a possibility as well. In your members account you can sign up to get code so that you can sell advertising through your website or even offline in your neighbourhood.

Does this system have a referral pay scale?
Again the answer is yes. You can make money off the adverts that your referrals play to qualified visitors on their pages as well as a small pay, off their first line of referrals. That means this program will allow you to earn money off 2 lines below you.

Any neat information you have not mentioned?
This program has a new and neat technology that was created just for it. Its called "Key 2 Page". Simply put, this replaces the "click through" action most people are used to. With audio adverts, clicking is not possible on an advertisement. So when an advert plays, a request may be made or an option given for the visitor to push a key on their keyboard that will then open up the advertisers website. Quite creative I think!

To recap:

1. This is a new medium for advertisers as well as publishers and you can make money.
2. You can get paid for each visitor who qualifies for an advert. No Click through Rates. 100% conversion!
3. You can generate income from those you referred (Hurry as this may disappear once Beta Ends)
4. You can get paid for selling advertising
5. This is free to join just like Adsense, Or Adbrite or Bidvertiser etc.
6. Payout is $25. And checks get made out Friday's.
   

So I ask again the question I started with, "Have You Started Making Money Playing Audio Adverts?" if not I ask why? its free and you have nothing to lose by trying this new monetizing medium out. You insert the code and if a visitor qualifies they hear an advert, you get paid. If they don't, nothing is heard or played. If you are looking for the link to sign up, it can be found in my sidebar (Pay Per Play) or click on the link below.

Remember to let them know I sent you, make money playing audio adverts!

Has Adsense Banned You, Or Are You Looking For Other Monetization Programs?

Have you been banned by Google's Adsense? Or perhaps you are a webmaster or blogger who is looking for a new way to make money with your site using something similar to Adsense? Then AdBrite just very well may be the program for you. It could also be that you have a website that is not accepted by Google's Adsense as well, and this program will likely be for you.

Here are some reasons why I say this.

1. Adsense does not accept Casino, adult and Viagra sites. Adbrite does allow these types of sites. Which also happen to monetize very well.

2. If you have a site which is high in traffic/visitors where your adsense click through rate is low, then it also is expected your earnings are low. With Adbrite your earnings will more than likely be improved.

3. Customer support: I will not say that Google Adsense does not have a good customer support, but from my experience and reading others experience on forums I can say Adbrite's customer service is Great!

4. With Google adsense you can not sell Ad space in your site, but with Adbrite you can create your own Price and Packages. Also AdBrite provides you with Network ads (as Google adsense). You can even add your Adsense code or other program code and AdBrite will show whichever advert will make the most money. Theirs or Adsense's etc. That can be handy!

5. Google adsense pays monthly, Adbrite pay 60-days. Adbrite has a lower pay threshold but Adsense pays more often.

6. With Google adsense you can not play with your code, with AdBrite, you can add any style that you want. They even encourage you to play with it.

7. You can put Adsense and AdBrite code both on the same page without any problem. Just make sure they do not look the same or you will have problems.

8. AdBrite works great in forums

9. With AdBrite the seller of advertising space has a great advantage showing what their site provides. Things such as unique visitors count, Page views, Origin of traffic, Average cost per click (eCPC), Site Category, Alexa rank, Repurchase rate, Conversion Score, What CPC can I expect?, Ad zone description, and much more. Whatever you wish to inform the potential advertiser to help improve your ability to close the deal.

10. Referral program for AdBrite:
On all buying and selling of advertising from someone you referred, you will earn %50 of Adbrite's profits during the first 3 months based on that individuals sales/purchases and %10 of Adbrite's profits for the next 9 months on the same purchases/sales from that referral.





If you wish to try Adbrite yourself, please sign up and tell them I sent you by using the banner above in this post or the one on the sidebar. I hope you found this article useful and I wish you the best in your monetization of your website or blog.

Most Popular Posts Widget Update

Seems that the code for the Spotplex widget is no longer going to be supported/maintained by Spotplex. As of May 9th 2008.

So, those using this code may have noticed their widget seems to no longer be adding new counts/visitors. With that said, there is still the widget from Affiliate which I am now currently going to be using and this widget can be found at the bottom of my blog in the middle column of the Footer section.

As well, one can also use the Popular Posts widget from Feedjit. (Same company making the visitor widget that I use in the right hand side, sidebar section)

But unfortunatelly the Spotplex widget will no longer be supported. :(

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've decided to update this post after only a day :)
I've found that this Affiliate Brand widget is either installed wrong on my end (Which I dont think is the case) or this is yet another non working widget :( It has been well over a day and still no posts showing up.

The Feedjit widget will only show the last 24 hours for popularity and base it as a percentage.

There is also a widget over at Blogger Buster That Amanda has built that will give you the most popular posts based on the comments received by them. It is easy to install, just fill out the information and you can get the widget to almost self install :)

If anyone knows of a widget comparable to the Spotplex one, I would be greatly appreciated.

Who's Making Money Blogging?

I have often come across in forums, on other blogs, and comment sections, the often asked question of "who is making money blogging?" or "how much money are you making?". A fair question for others to ask and one I am sure sits in most peoples minds even if they never ask.

Do you own a blog? Do you like to see how your blog stacks up against others? Do you want a free and easy way to get a link back to your blog? Reason why I ask these question is because lately I have been pondering the thought of creating a power list myself. One that would be updated hopefully monthly, albeit that might be too "soon" to see any relevant rank changes with such a list. Perhaps even every 2nd month. None the less it is something I wish to do. I know there have been other lists covering similar analytics/data but this one would focus on blogs only (Single blog entries at that). Any niche can submit to this list. This blog caters to "Monetizing and Make Money" blogs so those in this niche I would likely color code GREEN while other niches Id color code some other color.

What is a Power List? I recently wrote an article, listing 27 such lists, which can be read on my Power Lists Page.

I know some people do not wish to have their earnings made "public" so I propose for those blog owners to submit not only their monthly earning but a tag/note stating to keep the info private where it would be used only to rank their blog but the information would be kept off the list. They will then show up on the list in the spot they belong, but the earning information would be kept private.

What information would I be looking for?
Well Blog name for starters, URL of the blog, monthly income aproximated as best you can for that single blog (I know many people have more than one blog so please aproximate best as you can for that single blog), whether or not you wish your income to be shown publicly. Niche your blog belongs to. (If there is enough interest perhaps color code each niche) And make the email subject "Who's Making Money Blogging?" so I can easily find your email.

Anyhow I am just trying to get a feel for whether or not there would be interest in such a list. And I would welcome and appreciate, if anyone wanted to help spread the word of this list. The first list would be aimed at going live for June 1st, based on May earnings. Anyone interested in having their blog listed please use my contact page and I'll add your blog to the list. Just remember to email me at month end with your blogs income. If you have any other suggestions or idea's to help make this list more useful, by all means let me know.

Anyhow thanks for your time and I hope to see you listed in the "Who's Making Money Blogging?" power list.
