Find It Quick Ads

You may have noticed I put new advertisements on my blog yesterday. If I want to hit $300/mo from this blog alone by December 31st, then I have to place ads on it.
In the past I’ve tried Kontera ads, however they made my pages load very slow and had sucky payments. Over the past few months an account representative at FindIt-Quick.com has been emailing me asking me to sign up with them. So I finally took them up on their offer and created an account. I have no idea how they pay out compared to other advertising companies, but I want to lave these inline ads on my blog for a few days before I pass judgement.
FindItQuick is an interesting company. In addition to serving inline and contextual ads, they also have their own version of Yahoo Answers. Except with them, you get paid $2.50 for every answer you submit that gets accepted. Potential to make some decent money if you take the time to research correct answers.
I haven’t decided yet if I want to run their contextual ads on any of my sites. Google and YPN perform very poorly on some sites I own. I can’t imagine them being any worse. The best thing about their ads are they pay in two ways. You earn at least 0.10 CPM or more based on CTR rates and you also earn from each click on the ads based on bid prices.
I’ll have more to report on this in the coming days. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up on why they are seeing ads on my blog now.
Hey, I have a tip that might or might not be helpful.
I went to your “Advertise” page and noticed that there isn’t a whole lot of information there. Do you think you could add some stats (subscribers, uniques, impressions, ctr), past advertiser recommendations, and demographic information?
I think advertisers are more willing to buy advertising when they know exactly what they can expect.
Good luck on making it to $300!
It looks to me like these ads provide a poor user experience. Your entire posts looks filled with their links… 11 words out of 285, or almost one per sentence, just seems a bit excessive to me.
You should focus on less obtrusive advertisements that don’t necessarily interfere with your content.. Sell a banner in your header, some 125px buttons like everyone else, some in post text links, more sidebar text links, some banners at the top or bottom of your posts, and some ads in your RSS feed.
I removed the ads because they performed poorly. Only made 40 cents in 2 days.
