Everyone has been waiting long for the release of the Agloco‘s Viewbar which enables you to get paid for surfing sponsored sites and pages. Now after surfing a lot on internet, I found out a hidden and new website which also pays to surf sponsored pages but without installing anything or waiting for any release. AdBux.org , a website which pays to be on a sponsored site or page for 30 seconds. It pays 1 cents for staying 30 seconds on the page and in a day there are total of 25 such sites and pages listed. It’s another amazing…

Ars Technica reports that Google will be buying DoubleClick for $3.1 billion. This makes it Google’s biggest acquisition and is also an excellent way of thwarting the competition that DoubleClick presented to Google’s Adwords program. It will also extends Google’s reach still further into the advertising world picking up all the clients of DoubleClick. As for publishers, would this mean additional revenue?

AuctionAds (aff) launched yesterday. AuctionAds lets you display live eBay auctions. I was introduced to AuctionAds by Mark of WLTC. And John Chow has a great review of the entire system. Unfortunately, AuctionAds is not contextual, which means you won’t get any targetted ads on your site. You do get to specify the keywords you want, but what if we could generate these automatically on a post by post basis? If you have Ultimate Tag Warrior installed then doing so is extremely simple. Once you generate the AuctionAds code (you need to signup first (aff)) you will find that the…

As promised, ReviewMe has now launched their Affiliate Program. Ten days back they announced that your prices could be set. You will now get paid $25 for any referred sale even if the visitor does not purchase a review from your blog. Additionally, you can also create buttons for your blog / site using which also count to refer visitors can use to refer users to ReviewMe, thus serving a dual purpose. You can now buy reviews out here at Techtites. Reviews are priced at only $60!

In a bid to increase the number of advertisers, ReviewMe has announced that they will be offering half rate reviews all of this month. Publishers will not lose anything as ReviewMe will absorb all the expenses, i.e. it will forfeit its share of the review. Advertisers need to use the coupon trial during checkout to avail of the 50% off. This means that all of this month you can buy a review at AjayDSouza.com for just $50. Our previous coverage of ReviewMe.

In a bid to improve performance of individual ad units, Adsense has introduced ad placements. In addition to creating a custom channel, you can now designate it to be available to advertisers. The screenshot above (from the Inside Adsense blog) shows you how to create / edit a custom channel and designate it to be an ad placement. You can assign keywords and descriptions for the unit to guide advertisers of their location on your site(s). I’ve already assigned a few of my ad units for the same. I’m going to work on making them more descriptive. Let’s see how…

In its latest blog posting at Inside Adsense, Google has stated a complete rework of its Policy Page along with policy changes for Google Adsense. The gist of the changes is: – Last month’s policy on images has been upheld and now listed in the Policy Page. – You can now add a link unit to the Search Results page if you are embedding the search results page in your site. – You may not have similar looking advertisements as your Google Adsense ads from any other ad network anywhere on your site containing the Google Ads. This means no…

I wrote about Chitika being an additional revenue stream. By default Chitika is non-contextual. And if you are running Adsense, then you have to run Chitika in this mode. Running the ads should not be too much of a problem because the code is easily embedded in any page you wish. However, what you will notice that since Chitika is not contextual, all your pages on your blog/site will show the very same Chitika ads. This directly translates to reduced clicks because if e.g. your visitor is reading a post on laptops, he would be more likely to click on…

I’ve written about making money through advertisements using Google Adsense and TLA. These are two which have helped me keep my earnings even so far (read can do a lot better still). Yet another popular program is Chitika eMiniMalls which has worked wonders for some and just not worked for others.

Text Link Ads (aff.) publishing program now is compatible with Blogger. However, you need to be using the latest version of Blogger for this to work. I don’t intend to give this a test on my blogger blogs, because both are dead! But, are you a using Blogger? I would like feedback of the same, including ease of use and how much your making from it.
