Blogs and monetization

Filed under: website — adekun @ 8:23 pm

Having run with Adsense for over a year, I’m well on my way to meeting half my web hosting costs for a year. I’m sure there’s plenty I can do to improve this. It’s little surprise that gardening isn’t amongst the more lucrative subjects.
The other day I was accepted to join the Rubicon Project’s beta. It claims to automagically optimize your ad space. At present with the tiniest snippet of javascript, one of nine ad networks is picked. It’s incredibly easy to setup and offers plenty of scope to tweak if required. Although it’s early days it looks rather special.
On the other foot, please have look at the first comment. It’s the recent dialog between a text link peddler with his good offer and myself. If you want to make a quick buck at least type text link pr into Google beforehand.

    [list of seven pages]

    $100.00 Total for 7 sub pages.

    $100.00 for 7 pages .

    I do positive advertisements and I extremely avoid porn and spamming activities so you don’t need to worry about the sites I am going to link to.

    For your better understandings, please visit following page:

    [example address here]

    I have certain conditions regarding this deal;

    · Paragraphs would be around 80 words and there will be 4 to 5 links on each paragraph and one paragrah for one page only.
    · Site owner can have the text link ads changed or edited through me .
    ·Owner will place paragraph in the middle/end of site contents but above the footer.

    Your paypal ID required or specify the way to receive payments.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Hi P******,

    I’m sorry but I would only consider a fixed term. That aside, I’ve been offered greater sums for individual links on one page.

    Thanks,

    Dear Adrine,
    Thanks for your kind reply but you know i was just asking for sub pages and the non prominent places of the pages like below the blog post and above the comments section or at the bottom and above the footer.
    Okay, we can get agree for 5 years term placements on your sub pages.
    looking forward to your reply.
    Kind regards,
    P******.

    I understand your offer. Pull the other one.

    Adrian

    Dear Adrian,
    I can offer $125.00 for the same deal and I expect some good news from your side and I believe that we are making good relations for more future concerns.
    Regards,
    P******.

    Hi P******,

    The longest term I would consider is a year. In addition, your latest figure would get a couple of links on one page.

    Adrian

    Respected Mr.Adrian,
    Thanks for your negotiations and I am not able to accept it because its against our policy and I request you to accept my offer and let things move further.
    Kindest regards,
    P******.

    P******,

    I’m all for making good relations. However that’s the most derisory offer I’ve ever seen, aside from your previous two. In short, you want to buy between 28 and 35 links over a five year period for $125?

    Best Wishes,
    Adrian

    Dear Brother ,
    Nothing to say anymore, just looking forward to your confirmations!!!
    Yours,
    P******.
