Performancing Ads has just been started. This gives us another advertising channel.
What makes Performancing Ads stand out?
1. Support of only 125×125 ad buttons - this has become most blogger’s choice of banner format.
2. Can book your own ad - this makes your ad easy to manage. If you book your own ad, you don’t have to pay commission.
3. Easy to implement - upload a plugin, insert one single line of code, and you are done
4. Large market place - 55 categories to choose from!
5. Be a publisher as well as advertiser - you can use the credit earned to advertise your own business
6. Earn money - be an affiliate and earn money when people sign up.
Again, signing up is free. Once you have signed up and decide to advertise, you get $25 off for the first $100 spent.
As the slogan says - everyone wins.

Have you upgraded your blog to Wordpress 2.6 yet?
To be honest, I haven’t. I haven’t got the time to deal with it just yet.
But my new blog (soon to be released) is using Wordpress 2.6. My feeling towards it is that it is just another state-of-the-art blogging platform that Wordpress has made.
I especially like the “word count” function. If I decide to do paid blog review again then it is surely going to assist. (No more copy & paste to word and check word count, or install word count plugin anymore.)

There are lots of ebooks / blogs / websites teaching how to earn money from Adsense. Or similar ad systems. But then, what is the main key point of it?
The most important factor of this is ‘Quantity’. When I say quantity, I mean the people viewing the ads, ie. impression.
How to maximise impression, hence maximising the number of clicks? The answer is ‘Traffic’.
No matter how you optimise the ads, where to put them, what keywords to use in your blog to bring up certain high-pay ads… Without traffic, these are just meaningless.
I found 2 ways that are the most efficient:
1. Maximize the traffic of a certain blog - put all your efforts on a single blog. Use the best of your knowledge to bring the most traffic, eg. PPC, link building, commenting (not spamming!!), web 2.0 tools, email marketing, affiliate marketing…
2. Build smaller but niche blogS - yup, run more than one blog. Make sure they are legitimate though. After all, if your content is crap, no one is going to visit your blog. Use keyword tools to find lucrative niches, optimise your blogs so that they can easily be found on the search results.
If you are good in web, you can also start a web 2.0 portal (maybe like facebook / bebo whatever) and build an online community. If you are not that good, you can however start a forum. A community site is likely to attract a lot of traffic if you are into the right niche. How to know what is the right niche? Easy - keyword tools! Google now reveals traffic in numbers instead of score, so you should have a deeper insight for analysis.

Do you blog everyday? You do? Good.
Are you on Twitter? (Have you followed me on Twitter?)
Ever wonder how can you feed your latest blog post onto Twitter, broadcasting to everyone following you?
Now you can do so. TwitterFeed has made this possible!
It is very easy to implement indeed. 3 steps:
1. Create your own Twitter account or use your own if you already have one.
2. Log into TwitterFeed using OpenID or other blog ID like Flickr, Blogger, Yahoo ID etc.
3. Enter the URL of your blog(s)’ RSS feed. Set a time interval.
That’s all you need to do!
Currently both RSS & Atom feed are supported at the moment.

Under Blogging+ Link Building+ SEO
Recently I have blogged about John Chow’s contest for Market Leverage. And then John Cow’s contest, also for Market Leverage. They pretty much have the same system to attract you to join.
Contests, contests, contests… Have you ever thought of why there are suddenly so many contests happening?
Market Leverage, John Chow, John Cow and many others are doing this for a few reasons:
Increase number of Comments
John Chow asked us to leave a comment to gain the first ticket to enter the contest. A large number of comments surely reflects the popularity of the blog.
RSS / Email Subscription
To gain another ticket, they have asked you to subscribe to their RSS feed. That is an effective way to increase their number of subscribers.
SEO - Link Building
To gain extra tickets, you have to blog about the contest linking to John’s. By specifying the link text they have gained a quality / juicy backlink, which search engines count for ranking.
They have also asked to link to Market Leverage. Again, another juicy link, but this one is to ML instead.
Affiliate Marketing
To gain more tickets, you have to sign up with Market Leverage using a referral link. This way when you earn money through ML, they would get a commission.
What have you gained?
By placing a comment on their popular blog you have also gained yourself a link. If you have put your targeted key phrases onto the link then you got a higher quality link. I am not sure if they have got nofollow enabled though.
And of course, you have gained more chances to win the present!
At the time of writing, John Chow has gained 712 comments and John Cow got 74 (oops big difference). That effectively means they would have gained a large number of links as well.
