Online Money Making Tips - Part 2
Last post we talked about some basic concepts of online advertising. Now we proceed to the introduction of third party ad companies.
============================
This is currently the biggest ad network in the world. The ads will show accordingly to your contents as well as the location of your visitors. This means that if you have a niche topic to talk about, chances of getting targeted ads are higher compared to a site talking general topics like mine. Check my ads on the sidebar and compare them with the ads on a niche topic website, you’ll see a vast difference in terms of ad contents and commission rates.
If possible, my suggestion is that get a niche topic and start working on it. Remember, the topics chosen have to be specific and unique, if not chances are other site with similar topic possessing greater traffic volume will grab away the ad exposure on your site.
You need to apply for it, if your site is too new (less than 3 months old), Google normally will not approve it so make sure you have sufficient contents with sufficient visitors (>20 visitors per day) before applying. One more thing, You need to accumulate USD100 before you are eligible for the cash out.
Advertlets is the 2nd Malaysia online advertising network. It is currently managed by Josh Lim and his team who also run Josh Lim & Associates and RedesignMalaysia.com. The ads are localized and the minimum payout is RM100.
Nuffnang is the 1st Malaysia online advertising network. It was founded by Timothy Tiah and Cheo Ming Shen. The ads are localized and the minimum payout is RM50.
============================
Malaysia currently has 5 online advertising networks with both Advertlets and Nuffnang being the major players in the region. These 2 giants have their exclusive bloggers program namely TITAN for Advertlets and GLITTERATI for Nuffnang. Being exclusive means one must not host other 3rd party ad network originating from Asia. For example, if you host Advertlets, in order to be exclusive you mustn’t host ads from Nuffnang. Each company provide different benefits and bonuses for those who participate in their respective exclusive blogger prgrams so basically it’s a tough fight. Which one do I choose? Right now i would prefer Advertlets to Nuffnang for it’s easier to gather $$$ even though the minimum payout is RM100.
Unfortunately many free blogging platforms out there do not allow the use of Javascripts nor the editing of their template’s HTML. Therefore the easiest solution will be to use Blogger. Using Adsense is very easy as Adsense has been integrated into Blogger’s layout elements. For Advertlets, Nuffnang or other ad network, simply copy the ad code and paste them into the Javascript / HTML layout element. Everything is as easy as ABC. If you still face problems in adding the code, kindly contact me for solutions.
That’s all for now. We’ll talk about alternative money making ways in the next post. Stay tuned.
