Similar to Adsense-advertisers pay you!

Blogads.com launched in 2002. It is a program such as Google’s Adsense where you get payed a percentage to advertise. Their website says they receive “30% of your ad fee” which, as far as I know is far less profit they get than most sites such as theirs, which means more money for you-the BLOGGER! The great thing about it is that you can set the price you want to sell your space for. Which means, if you have a higher number of page views/visits a day then you can sell it for more. The catch is that currently you have to be sponsored by a member of Blogads. “If you don't know a sponsor, write signup@blogads.com and [they will] notify you when a sponsor appears in your niche.”

I recently sent out an e-mail to four people who signed up for Blogads. I asked them what they thought of Blogads and if they were reaping a good profit or if it was just taking up space. Only 3 people answered back, 2 said that Blogads weren’t working well for them and 1 said that she makes over $400/month (with ~3000 page views/day and 1700-1800 visitors/day). The 2 people who said the program wasn’t working well for them said that about 1% of his income comes from Blogads but that Adsense, Amazon, and FeedBurner do better for him and the other person said he was unimpressed and hasn’t received many offers.

Now, after you read that, you have to research on your own. Perhaps some of the blogs weren’t doing well with Blogads because of the type of material on their pages or they weren’t updating their site enough or because the advertiser’s content was not interesting to the readers of the site. There are many variables to consider and research. Here is an article about this guy’s opinion of Blogads: DiggersRealm.

*Caution: Remember it could take awhile for the money to start rolling in. *
