Earning Money

First and foremost, I apologize for being away for a few days.  I am a college student, so this is the time where finals are consuming me.  I will try and post regularly, but I cannot make any guarantees because of the tests.  However, I thought I’d write a short post real fast about my opinion on Entrecard.  It has been speculated that Entrecard is really worthless traffic and that everyone that is coming to your site is really just someone looking to drop their card on your site and then move on.  It’s useless traffic that, instead of making you any money, is just costing you money because they are using bandwidth.  Now…Here’s my opinion.

It’s not worthless traffic.  Just because someone is just coming to your site looking to drop their card and then move on does not mean that some (some) don’t stop and read your content.  If you have a good title, they will stop and if they do stop, well, that’s more traffic for you.  What this service provides is a means for you to get more people to see your site.  You’re networking and if you get twenty people to drop their card on your site and five decide to become regular readers, then your mission was effective.

Another reason why it’s not crappy traffic is because you’re getting a point for every person that visits you.  Why is that good?  Because if you get that point, you are also getting more points to buy advertising on blogs.  And it’s THAT traffic that you really want.  That’s the traffic of people that are genuinely interested in what you have to offer, not so much about the points they can get.  And it’s those readers that you really want.  So, because of the traffic coming to your site to drop their card, you’re getting more points to allow for more real readers.

Do I think Entrecard is crappy traffic?  No.  I think it is worthwhile traffic that, if used correctly, could really make your site grow.  Are you going to see substantial differences in your site’s traffic and profits?  Not until Entrecard gets really big.  But, even then, it all depends on how you buy your ads.  Do some research on the site that you are buying an ad on and look for where the 125×125 button is.  Chances are, it’s in a bad place.  But, if it’s in a good place, bingo, get it.  So, try Entrecard out.  I really believe that it is worthwhile traffic.

I am always on the prowl for new ad companies that I can use to try and make money from. Since Adsense is slowly beginning to deteriorate, I realize that if I am going to continue to make more money and expand, I am going to need to try new things out. Because of that, I decided that I would try out AdToll. It’s a site, like adsense, that offers CPC, but, from looking at it, it appears that it offers so much more to its users. Normally, you look at a site like this and say, “oy…These guys think they may become the next adsense,” and then a few months later, they die.

I don’t think that is the case with this one. They have been really working hard on trying to make it bigger and better. And, it’s the type of site that requires lots of people to get even more people. I know that I won’t stay if I can’t snag some people to put ads on my site and I am sure advertisers won’t stay around if there are no sites to advertise on. But, this site appears to be going in the right direction and really becoming a site worth talking about. Since I am a publisher, I wanted to tell you one of the great things about it. They TELL you how much you’re going to get. If you put ads on your site, you will get 75% commission. So, if you earn one thousand dollars, seven hundred and fifty of that goes into your pocket and the other two hundred and fifty goes into theirs. That’s a really amazing commission. Unlike adsense, they TELL you the amount.

If you are looking to try and sign people up to AdToll, then their referral program is through the roof! They will give you 20% of whatever any advertiser you recruit to the program spends for 90 days. AND! And they will give you 10% on any money a publisher makes for 365 days. So, for one year, you could be making a nice chunk of change from them if you snag one big publisher. I am telling you point blank that the links to AdToll are affiliate because that is a deal too good to be true.

I don’t run the ads on this blog YET. I have it running on another blog of mine and I am going to see how it runs for a while. They are not anti-adult ads which is good for those people that are in that business. The point is, this program is great for everyone. Whether you’re looking to get more traffic to your site or you’re looking to monetize more on the traffic you’ve already got, AdToll is for you. Go ahead and sign up. It’s free and it doesn’t hurt to try new programs every once in a while. Try it out and if it makes you no money, at least you tried, huh? Sign up for AdToll.
