AuctionAds have improved their service to affiliates and hopefully this will in turn help them make more money from their ads.
I have grumbled in the past that AuctionAds didn't always appear on my blog and, when this happened, other items in the side column took an age to download. This should now be a thing of the past - fingers cossed!
AuctionAds say they have 'doubled the size of our hardware infrastructure and optimized it to ensure near 100% uptime of ad serving (and to make sure your ads are served lighting fast).'
The ads have also been redesigned - see a sample in the side column, about half way down the page. The images have been improved so that they are no longer distorted or stretched as was often the case previously.
All in all a step in the right direction - now all I've got to do is try to make some decent money with them, I've only made about $30 so far.
I have been doing some sponsored posts recently, mainly for PayPerPost. I've always been a little wary about doing them before because I thought it may put people off from reading the blog. I have now written seventeen and it doesn't appear to have made any difference to readership or subscriber numbers. At least not that I am aware of.
There is an interesting article on The Wall Street Journal website regarding sponsored posts, PayPerpost and about how it can benefit advertisers.
An example is given where a company now receives half of their traffic from blogs, compared with around 10% prior to a paid posts campaign.
Looks like sponsored posts can help bloggers and advertisers alike - providing it is handled properly. With PayPerPost I have made over $270.
Note that new PayPerPost members can get $20 for their first sponsored post - click button for info.
Good luck,
Mike.
