Making Money with Adbrite’s BritePic

July 22nd, 2008 by Mr. Rajawang

For someone who owns a photoblog or blog with a lot of pictures, then maybe you can try britepic. I quote from their website:

Features:

  • * BritePic adds interactivity and ads (if you want them) to the photos on your website.
  • * BritePic is free and easy to use.
  • * If you’re an HTML coder, use BritePic instead of the <img> tag

What kind of interactivity?

  • Link to this image
  • Embed this image (you still get the ad revenue, even if your pic is embedded elsewhere)
  • Zoom in and out
  • Captions that slide out when you hover over the pic
  • Link the image to another URL
  • Subscribe to RSS

You can read more about BritePic here.

So my first Britepic try :

a picture of my lazy cat.

and another

a picture of my current blogging workplace setup.

If you are using adbrite, then maybe you can give it a try.

Cheers.

Anyone ever received an Adbrite check before?

July 10th, 2008 by Mr. Rajawang

adbrite-earnings

Receiving an adsense check is common, but does anyone have ever received an adbrite check before? Since I am earning more money from adbrite in this month ongong adsense-free experiment, I would like to know your guys experience.

I wished adbrite have alternative payment like paypal or western union. Lol.

Oh ya, the USD$104.91 revenue is from 1st July till 9th July, so basic calculation 104.91/9 = USD$11.60 daily average. So I am expecting around USD$350 this month from adbrite. No way it will compete with my adsense earnings from the previous months but it is still good for an alternative.

WAIT, maybe adbrite will compete with adsense when advertisers bought your ads for a higher price than the other competitor. But that I think will only happen when you put your ads longer.

Stay tuned for more updates.

First week result of My Adsense-Free Experiment

July 7th, 2008 by Mr. Rajawang

As I have mentioned earlier in my post, I have decided to do away with adsense ads in all my blog to experiment whether there is still live outside adsense in this make money online business. The result below is from 1st July til 7th July 2008. I am not expecting to get USD$30-USD$40 if I am using adsense because it is just a different kind of program.

The first week Result

First up is Bidvertiser. I have tried bidvertiser before and it failed me. But that is only for a certain blog and not on all of my blogs. So, the result is still dissapointing although I managed to earn more than the last time I tried it for 2 weeks. But again 138 clicks amounting to only USD$9.07 is discouraging to say the least. Still it is early in the month, so anything can happen just like adsense.

Next is Adbrite.

Adbrite managed to perform better than Bidvertiser with US$58.39 so far. That is around USD$9 a day which is still good as a adsense replacement. The good thing with adbrite is that you can choose higher priced ads to show up in your ads if any. Hopefully some advertiser will buy my ads space higher than the current which is running. For 86 clicks that translate to USD$58.39 is encouraging.

Summary

Widgbetbucks, Kontera and Nuffnang is performing normally just like in previous months.

The main difference between adsnse and these two ads company is that adsense managed to give ads that is contextually matched with your blog’s content in contrast to adbrite and bidvertiser that you can only choose the category of your preffered ads.

Bidvertiser allows you to put unlimited ads in your blog. Adsense only allow 3 ads per page.

I will be satisfied if I can earn at least USD$500 from these two ads company for this month. Hopefully this experiment will give some valuable information regarding with adsense replacement to all of you.

Wish me luck and can you all give some opinion about the earnings please?

Cheers.

Goodbye Google Adsense!

July 3rd, 2008 by Mr. Rajawang

As I said earlier in my Top 5 recommended money makers post, I am doing an experiment of ditching Adsense completely(except for rajawang and my personal blog) in this month of *July 2008. I know some of you might say I am letting a month’s of good income down the drain but I think this is the thing that I need to do so that I can fully test life without adsense.

I am not banned from adsense. Don’t worry about that. I do receive the occasional emails from adsense e.g letting me know that sometimes my other ads in the blog looks similar to adsense and ask to change it, sometimes the contain is against some of adsense TOC etc.

I have learned a lot from Adsense since I started blogging about 14 months ago. Much much more than I ever imagine from making in this make money online world. See the screen shot below:


USD$10K is way beyond my dream when I first signup with adsense and earned $0.01 on my first day.

Supporting cast thrown into the main fray.

So what ads company shall I use other than Adsense?

I believe in giving someone another chance if he/she fails at the first time of asking. And the same goes for an advertising company. So, I will give Bidvertiser another chance although they disappoint me some time ago. Maybe the time that I gave it back then is insufficient. Now I am giving them a full month.

I will also try adbrite in some of my blogs.

I will continue with Widgetbucks since they are giving me steady income of USD70-USD100 a month from the first day I put their ads in my blogs.

Shoppingads@auctionads will again be counted to bring in at least USD50 this month.

Nuffnang will complete the lineup for this month.

The supersub - socialspark.com

My Target for this month

rajawangs-income

As you can see from the excel chart above, I earned on average of USD$140 from income other than adsense a month. So based on my calculation, I will be very happy if I can tripled that amount to around USD$400 for this month. That will be about third of what I get alltogether if I am using adsense. USD400 is around MYR1,200 in local currency and that will sufficient for me at the time being. Anything more will be a bonus.

Conclusion

I am confident that I will reach that USD$400 mark, how bad can the replacement ads fare? since I am sure that my traffic this month will be more the same with or without any ads going on.

Do you have any opinion on my experiment?

Wish me luck!

Rajawang internet income report for June 2008.

July 2nd, 2008 by Mr. Rajawang

Although June started encourigingly in terms of adsense income, it slowed down pace from the middle of the month. I am sad to report that I got a lower income last month compared to the previous 4 months. In all, June is not a very good month. Traffic are down on most all of my top blogs.

My internet income for June 2008:

Summary - Adsense -second lowest income in 2008, Widgetbucks is a bit down, Kontera maintain making money-slowly but surely. (Last month income in bracket.)

Google Adsense - US$1,198.76 - (US$1,320.20) down US$121.40
WidgetBucks

Target for June - $,1500 from adsense - failed!

Note

I would like to point out again that this total income is NOT from this Rajawang blog only, since I am only running Adsense, Nuffnang and Kontera in Rajawang. As I have said before, I maintained around 5 blogs that monetized well enough to earn the figures above. This is not magic, nothing good come easily. You can read my Top 5 Recommended Money Makers here.

So that’s all for this Rajawang make money online income report for this time, there is lots of work still to be done. Hopefully you will do better too. Congrats for whatever you have achieved in this Make Money Online journey.
