I am bringing you a very good option to sell links on your website. If you have sold links in past through TextLinkAds, you know webmasters can make good amount of money by selling links without lot of efforts as the systems are automated. After TextLinkAds, I could not come across any impressive text link selling options later.

But seems like Back links is pretty good option to sell text links on your website. It’s completely automated system once you add their small piece of code on your blog. Adding the code process has been made easy as well, you would see different code for php, asp websites and there is a wordpress plugin for wordpress blogs as well. This made my life easier and I installed the code on this website for testing.

Make Money by Referring bloggers and webmasters

You would get $25 for each referral you send to back links, even if he is successful in selling even a single link. The referrals are accepted automatically. I think people would not be misusing this system as the condition is that they should be able to sell links on their website.

So are you all set to make some cash online, now register with them. The approval process is automatic, so you should be in within 5 minutes. Let me know how it’s going for you by commenting here.

Google decided to retire their well coveted Google Adsense referral program forever by keeping our wallets dry :-(. From 1st August onwards, you would not get paid for referring webmasters for this program. I received a mail from them couple of days back.

Here was the part of bad news, but the good part of news is - they have launched accepting publishers for Google affiliate network. I already applied for one, let’s see how it is, once they approve my application.

I believe it was the best affiliate program for established webmasters with new bloggers or webmaster reader base. I am sure though the adsense referral program is retired, you would still be able to make money on referring clients through their Google product referral program.

While browsing through few offers for search marketing for advertisers, this offer certainly attracted my attention. If you have been advertising your websites with Google Adwords and using Yahoo search marketing campaigns, you must be knowing how much money you spend everyday on your ads. Why not take some money free for advertising when you sign up with Yahoo search marketing. If you decide to go with YSM then You can actually start with £50 credit in your new Yahoo! Search Marketing account for a limited period only. You might need to deposit some amount while signing up but that would be far less than what you are getting for free through this coupon. This is a quick update on Yahoo search marketing coupon as I wanted to have the offer reaching you faster.

I have been using CJ since many years as publisher for CPA type of advertising, but due to some of the changes in their policies, I was not very satisfied with the return on investment as a publisher. That was one of the reasons, I was looking for an alternative CPA network that could assure me some business. Of course, it’s also one of those risk mitigations by spreading the risk and not putting all your eggs in one basket.

Clickbooth CPA Network looks promising place after I registered with them and browsed through the advertising campaigns they have. Though their categories are not well managed the way we see in CJ, but after browsing in for few minutes, you would know where you can find what you looking for. As many of the campaigns are specially designed for selected countries like USA, Australia etc, you can chose “All countries / International” in the category drop down to see the campaigns available for International traffic. One of the reasons, I checked it out first is because the flow of International traffic this blog receiving lately. That’s not all though, you would need to check out individual campaigns to see if they match up with your geo traffic.

One noticeable thing here, while registering with Clickbooth, you would be called up on your given phone number and given the PIN code to avoid fraudulent publishers in the network. I like this way to verify the publisher than usual email verification.

After giving a thought to this new CPA network, I decided to give it a try as alternative to CJ and start off by advertising some of the campaigns there. I would certainly update you on the click-through rate and affiliate income from Clickbooth after trying it for a while.

If you are really not annoyed with the referral links, then you can register to Clickbooth by clicking this Clickbooth sign up link and try this program on your own as it might turn out to be a good alternative for CJ for you too.

This morning, I received a mail where some unknown webmaster is recommending me to join Kontera network. Unfortunately I was already part of Kontera network so I did not need to follow the link in mail but I kept wondering why someone would recommend me this way to Kontera. The mail sender did not seem to be from Kontera network so it was not Kontera’s promotion mail either. See this mail extract.

Firstly I would apologize to everyone for this email as it was not something expected, but it definitively flattering for me and I am willing to share this experience with you.

You have most probably seen me using Kontera ads on my blog, and aside some internal issues I am having to block some advertisers I have to admit that Kontera can turn out into a real money maker or at least cover the expenses of the hosting and some extra bucks in your pocket. There is lots of space optimizing your Kontera ads all what it requires is some attention and to monitor them for couple of days and with the new Kontera Hybrid their ads are even more attractive then ever.

If you are received this email but you have not seen me blogged for this promotion Kontera is running is simple because I wanted to keep some space to bush and bug Kontera’s staff to get issues resolved in a faster way (what works better than public bashing when your voice is not heard inside), but don’t mind that issue, Kontera staff is always kind and gentle (but you will always find one of those..you know). The space to bash was kept, but I wanted to share this news with some of the regular readers and commentators of the blog.

There is an additional way to make some extra cash out of Kontera, but for those details you’ll have to check your Kontera Publisher Center (if you are already signed up with Kontera, if not its time you sign up).

Now here is what I did wrong in the morning. I read another mail from Kontera network later to this mail and realized what was it [the first promotion mail] all about. Kontera central mails as well as this blog post states that you would get a $25 Bonus for inviting a friend to join Kontera. There you go - I realized now why I was sent a mail from some webmaster about joining Kontera… :). But this scared me with foreseen spam in my inbox. I hope very few have my email Id and fewer of them know I blog.

You might see lot of spam mails from blogger or webmasters inviting you to join Kontera network and when you join, they would get paid $25 for you joining them. I am somehow not very comfortable with this idea from Kontera as it encourages semi-spam emails. Now why I call them semi-spam is - because the people you are getting the email from might not be real hardcore spammers but they would be encouraged to do so to make those $25 extra bucks in their Kontera account.

By the way, if you are thinking to make couple of dummy email IDs and invite yourself, remember Kontera people are not fools - OK! The invited publisher has to be active publisher and the definition of Active publishers is “publishers who reach 50,000 impressions within 60 days of signing up to Kontera’s network”.

So now you decide whether you would like to make those $25 extra bucks for each publisher referral by spamming people around or only by inviting your legitimate contacts.
