Earning Money

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.

I have a story to tell, so pull a chair, sit back, relax, have some popcorn, because the story I am going to tell could be a story you have experienced before. Oh, I know! You’ve heard all about overselling. You have heard about how web hosts, at least some of them, can’t be trusted and they are never to be relied on. Spend more money, get a better host, get a dedicated, whatever. You’ve heard it all before. But, amuse me and allow me to tell you this story…It is a good story. It is a lesson that I hope you can learn from this blog post rather than reality yourself. Let me begin…

Once upon a time, in a far away land called my friend in Ohio, there lived my friend. And he came across an amazing deal for a proxy that was making a killing in money. He made the wrong move and forgot to ask how much hosting was costing the man before he bought it. So, he bought the site and he decided he was going to build a network of proxies. If one works, so will so many others. And so he began. However, before he could even get started, his web host said, “no! Your proxy is sucking too much bandwidth, we hate you, GO!” So he went.

Now…He went in search of a web host. He went searching long and hard, praying he could find a web host that would satisfy him. And along came the knight in shining armor, the knight who said, “you can have UNLIMITED disk space and UNLIMITED bandwidth for $15.99.” My friend said, “awesome, let me try it!” And he took it. He took the web host and he put his proxies up and he began to have some beneficial days. And then…Tragedy hit. That knight in shining armor was no knight! He was a deceiver!

My friend found out that his hosting had been cut off because he was using too much bandwidth. Wait, I thought that he got unlimited EVERYTHING for $15.99. And so, on he went, looking for a new web host to try and turn his not so great network into a shining, earning, profitable network. And although he has yet to live happily ever after, we will say that he did, just for the sake of the story…The End.

What did you learn from this story? I learned never to trust a guy that says, “yeah! Unlimited everything for less than a dollar a day! SCORE!” No. That’s bogus. He lost more profitability because of the downtime. As webmasters, we CANNOT afford that. Learn from the lesson of my friend…Get a reliable host. Spend some money. Do whatever it takes to ensure that you are giving your sites the best uptime possible. Their uptime will determine whether you have success or not. So, learn from the story of the big bad overseller. Copies will be available in all bookstores before Christmas. Later!
