Kontera Technologies : $477

Burst Media : $475

Value Click Media : $1299

Ybarnt Digital Network : $390

All together Kontera made $477 apart from 1-2 days when there was some serious problem with the Hosting company. Kontera report approximate 350k Net Impressions for the month of October 2009. I was very much Excited to see additional $500 coming my way just by doing some normal changes on the blog to attract In-Text advertising in the eyes of my Health Blog readers.

For the very first time Burst Media Reporter over 2 Million Impressions with 957 Clicks. Out of 2 Million total Impressions 1.6 Million Impressions were Paid which made me really Excited this time. eCPM was also not that bad which supported me to make money in good way. So finally i was very happy with my decision of starting Burst Media advertising on my blog.

Value Click Media which was one my Favorite advertising network  made $1299 with almost 1.5 Million Impressions. I have kept all of their advertising Banner above fold across 5k Pages of my blog which is getting more then 15k to 20k Unique visitors on daily basis. If your sites have more then 2000 visitors on daily basis you can apply to Value Click Media or approach me i can get it approved for you guys.

Last but not least Ybrant Digital Network reported 1.6 Million Impressions with the revenue of $390. I was little disappointed with the eCPM & Cost per Click which i got & planning to replace this network with advertising.com from where i got offer last week.

Instead, you will want to select specific affiliate advertisements that are relevant to the subject matter that you have included on your website. For example, an advertisement that stays in the realm of the specific type of products or services that your site offers, but instead of selecting an advertisement that offers the very same products as you are offering, perhaps you will want to choose an ad that instead offers service and repair work.

Another factor that publishers generally consider when they are involved with affiliate marketing, is the amount of revenue that they expect to earn from the ads they choose to place on their site. There are some that allow the publisher to earn dollars per click on the ad, and then there are several others that offer the publisher pennies per click.

When an online business or affiliate makes the decision to take advantage of the benefits that are offered in affiliate marketing, there are four separate methods that can be applied to either their website, eZine, newsletter, and other channels of marketing. These methods would include Pay-Per-Click (PPC) that also includes Cost-Per-Click (CPC), Pay-Per-Impression, and Contextual Advertising. Search engine marketing or (SEM) is generally what Contextual Advertising and Pay-Per-Click Advertising is referred to.

In various other forms of ad campaigns, there is generally a tremendous amount of time and effort that is involved in the planning and executing of the technique that has been chosen. This, however, is not a problem that is involved at all in these popular choices of advertising.

Affiliate Marketing can be a very effective method to use to earn extra revenue coming into your business site, and three ways to achieve this are listed below.

• Pay Per Load – When potential clients click on the advertisement and then register for offers or products on the merchant’s website, a pre-determined amount will then be earned and added to the website owner’s affiliate account.
• Pay Per Click – A website owner has the ability to earn pennies or even dollars as prospective customers click on a merchant’s advertisement that has been placed on a website owner’s site. The merchant’s products and commission amount usually determine the amount that will be added into the affiliate account.
• Pay Per Sale – When a website owner places advertisements on their page and it results in a sale for the merchant, a commission, or percentage is then placed in the affiliate account of the website owner.

These methods of earning extra revenue have become increasingly popular in the world of cyberspace, and they are an effective and easy way for website owners to earn an extra income that does not require that they actually do anything. The only requirement that is necessary is that the website owner simply place an advertisement pertaining to the merchant’s products or services.

Affiliate Marketing is an excellent choice in advertising techniques and campaigns that ensure a merchant’s name is seen all throughout the Internet.

This method is a different approach when compared to other forms of advertising because it does not require extra actions to be taken to sell the products or services.

If you are a website owner, and you are contemplating the idea of trying your hand at Affiliate Marketing, there are a few things that you will want to consider. The advertisements that you agree to place on your website will need to be chosen wisely. By opting to place ads that contain popular products that are widely used, you can expect to earn a lot higher amount in earnings than you would with products and services that are not widely recognized.

Website owners have the potential of earning a considerable amount of money through Affiliate Marketing, as long as an adequate amount of research is done on the business advertisements that you are considering to place on your site.

• Commenting – Spam, everyone knows what it looks like. It is irritating and full of links and comments not related to your own site. Self-praising posts are signs of them not being sincere. A sincere comment will explain what they like or do not like. Some comments are only for increasing their reputation for SEO or with other backlinks. It may also include a “pay per click” link. A sincere comment takes a real effort to contribute to the article with a positive slant or a negative slant. A negative comment can contribute to the article by pointing out points that you may not have considered. It does not matter what you write as long as you care about the subject matter, are sincere, and it is written in a manner easily understood.
• Collaborating – A lot of emails sent to me or other bloggers request that we add a link to their web site. This type of comment does not take any thought or intelligence to write. There is no personalization in this type of comment. When bloggers collaborate it is because they have something to contribute to each other’s blog. The next time you communicate with a blogger, use their name, explain what you want and the reason behind your request. The bloggers want to know how it would be beneficial to them and you. Do not use too much flattery. That sounds like you are trying to “butter them up”. Remember, your previous work will be looked at and evaluated. You want to work with someone that likes your work and believes that you have something to contribute.
• Writing – It can be very hard to keep up with daily posts, time spent for blogging and living your life. Always remember to give your readers a sincere and true attempt at what is contained in your post. It is dishonest to cram in an article or post just to be posting. Take your time and carefully form your opinion and thoughts and then express them in an appropriate manner.
• Designing – Your design or layout will reflect your honesty or sincerity. Do not hide your links, overload your page with advertising or disguise your affiliate products. Readers want to receive valuable information from your site and do not want to be confused with advertising or hidden links. Advertising is a way to increase revenue, just keep it to a reasonable amount so the reader does not get lost or confused. Offer a clean layout that allows readers to enjoy the work that you put into the site.

Remember the things you should not do, but do not forget the things that you should do. Review your work and evaluate it for readability, honesty and sincerity. This will create a community of bloggers that will continue to return for more information. As you leave comments worth following, it will bring more traffic to the blog.
