@Alan – It sure beats a bit of Adsense! I literally just set up a simple redirect and forgot about it. Making it a little more sneaky is another thing to add on to the to do list.

@Petra, no harm meant I just think that if you’re getting that low an eCPM from any advertiser it’s got to be worth trying an alternative? The thing is that not all networks work the same for all people (I know some people who still swear by Kontera) but if you don’t try then you never know.

As an aside when anything I do drops much below earning of $1 eCPM then I do consider binning it altogether.

Surely we are risking losing or page rank if are involved in any kind of link selling activities. I heard from many publishers on TLA, they lose their blog PR from 5 to 0 in 2-3 PR iterations. So we are inviting Google to end our page rank if we sell links via text link ads, TNX or any other text link selling marketplace

Is your new use for that domain with the additional ‘o’ working out for you Paul. I can see what the use is although looking at some of the pages, you might want to ‘doctor’ the script slightly since each and every page is advertising the script that runs it and the tags for each entry also include a similar advertsing tag as well.

I was going to something similar myself a while back and even bought a domain for the job but never really got around to doing anything with it. Just wondering how it working out for you as far as monetization is concerned.

@Stan – use the target=”_blank” attribute in your anchor

@Alan – It’s not this blog I want reviewing, it’s 2 other sites. The big G seems to be ignoring me. As for the Adsense Treasure site, it’s been moved to a new domain – I found a much better way of making money from the one with the extra o

@Stefan – Text Links Ads (and to some degree WidgetBucks) were very good at one point. But things change.

@Petra – $50 in nearly 8 months is really bad. Even if your average visitor only looked at 2 pages that would be roughly 112500 impressions, or earnings of only $0.44 eCPM. My average with InfoLinks is much better than that

Thanks for letting us know about your problems with these sites. I personally run Kontera on a few sites (still!), but will probably review soon – I mean, it has made me about $50 – since January!!!!! And I have it on a website that gets 250+ visitors a day… I guess the figure speaks for itself!

I haven’t used a single one of them, which I probably should be glad for, reading your post. It’s not easy to get your site reviewed by Google but I guess you should just hang in there and maybe try to contact Matt.

Why are you looking for a review on this blog Paul. I just did a quick search on some of your various posts and they all seem to be indexed and ranking on the first page.

PR does not account for much at all these days and is only really an indication of how many incoming links that any particular page has pointing to it.

If you have lost PR, it has probably been done manually to make the pages less attractive for paid linking.

BTW – What happened to your adsense treasure site – the root domain seems to redirect to the same name domain with one less ‘o’ in the name (hope that makes sense as don’t want to give the domain away!)
