The Good, The Bad And The Ugly About Auctionads

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

At the end of last month, I figured out a way to make about $50 - $100 a day with Auctionads. It brought me $500 fairly quickly and this month was going well. My average was up around $70 per day on roughly 300 clicks a day. Then, 3 days ago, I earned $0. Nothing, Nada. I checked and I still had my 300 clicks, so it wasn’t a down turn in traffic. I chalked it up to one of those days. Then, the next day was exactly the same. Again I did not earn a single red cent on about 300 clicks. This is starting to look strange, but you know how this stuff goes. I decided to give it one more day.

That day got here and again, not a single dollar earned. Now I’m starting to get worried, so I decided to use their contact form to see if the earning reports were being delayed. I actually was hoping this was the case because October was on a roll. After a few days, not a single word from Auctionads.com. Which brings me to the point of this post. I want to discuss the Good, the Bad the Ugly about Auctionads from a revenue generation and customer interaction standpoint.

Google Adwords Does Not Like Creativity

Sunday, May 6th, 2007

I was strolling through the Clickbank Marketplace trying to find a new product to promote and noticed multiple survey sites were doing rather well, so I decided to find three of them and do a simple review of each. I did my research and started looking for a domain. I wanted something catchy, something that would stand out on a Google Adwords ad.

Then it hit me, Survey kind of reminds me of Scurvy. And I associate Scurvy with sailing the High Seas. I could even do the whole page in Pirate Speak! Argh! I be on t’ sumt’n, Matey. Ok, it may sound a little silly, but if I was going to do it, I might as well have fun with it. So, SurveyScurvy.com was born and the Notorious Captain Scurvy was going to review Online Survey Sites. I was pretty proud of myself. It sure beats the millions of straight copy sales pages you find elsewhere.

My goal is to use this blog to educate myself and anyone who wants to join in about the great big world of Internet Marketing and Online Advertising. Along the way, I hope this will be a valuable resource for my own Internet Marketing endeavors with interaction from other bloggers with similar interests. Maybe someday, this little blog will be a huge resource of information about Online Advertising.

So, you may be wondering who I am or you simply may not give a shit. Either way, I think it’s only fair to tell you a little about myself. After all, blogging is a way of establishing yourself as an authority on a subject. I can not say I am there yet, but this will only help strengthen my own knowledge of making money online.
