One of my mini-sites that i started at the same time as this thread now earns between £5-10 a day, i've expanded it slightly to be a 5 page site instead of a single pager.

Good luck with the developments...
 
Im guessing Gala Bingo would probably prevent you using the name galabingo.uk.com with their affiliate program.

If from Tradedoubler then it's usually against their TOS
 
Just finishing off a couple of sites.

Was wondering if anybody knew if displaying song lyrics on a "fan site" is generally allowed?

Just a quick heads up on Yahoo ads.

I've just had a call from an agency asking me to trial yahoo ads on some of my sites.

What's different from google ads?

  • You can set the words you want the ads to show for
  • You can have as many ads as you like
  • You can have one block of ads about one subject and another about something else. So you could have one about buying domains, one about hosting and a third about wed design all on the same page.
  • You don't have to show that they are ads (i.e. 'ads by yahoo')
  • You can even set ads to display for specific products, check it out on this site www.recommendedbuys.co.uk/electronics/plasma-televisions/samsung-ps50q96hdx.htm (ads are on the right under dealtime)
  • You can set the width to what ever you like
  • You can use it on your parked domains :)

I've added it to a test site so once I have some data back I'll let you know if it's as good as it looks :)

Looks good. I remember looking at it ages ago but it was only available to U.S. Is there a way to get on the trialing now?
 
Not sure cos they approached me, if it works out well I'll ask them how other people can take part and let you know.

I have been using them for a couple of weeks now on one of my sites, paying better than Adsense for me. The ads are only really aimed at sites that get at least 50-60% UK traffic.
 
First days stats are in and they look pretty promising.

When it was parked with Namedrive it used to make between £1-2 a day, with Google ads I used to get between £5-10 a day, first day with Yahoo ads it made £22.48 :)
 
hey Paul.. did you see an increase in ctr or acutual click amount? or both..??

what niche is the site in? any chance you can forward/pm me the url ?

cheers Steve :)

CTR went up about 50%

CPC went up as well probably because you can target different parts of the page with different ads

Only 1 days stats so far but if I can turn all my domains into mini sites like this and increase revenue by 10 times on all of them I'll be very happy.

Fingers crossed it keeps up :)
 
This thread is an excellent way on how to make money with some smart efforts..........many many thanks for all the people who have contributed/shared hard work and experiences with people like me who also like/learn to earn extra $$$$$$ :)

Well i havent started mini-sites but have started blogging 4 days back, added some adsense and affiliate banners, they have started receiving traffic on day to day basis, i hope they will start earning good money very soon.

I like to invite all the members of this fantastic forum to visit them and give valuable feedback:-

See you there, and thanks again for this immensely educative thread.:)
 
I've just switched to yahoo ads now, can't get worse than google, there payments have really dropped over last few weeks / months.

Lets hope yahoo will at least put the frighteners on them to buck their ideas up.
 
Im concerned about implementing Yahoo ads on my sites because currently, the majority of them perform badly or do not appear in Yahoo search. Google - no problem.

Will Google punish my sites if on a crawl they detect Yahoo ads instead of their Adsense equivilents? And will Yahoo increase my listings with them if I choose to use Yahoo?
 
Personally I like google adsense, ease of use and regular trawls by the ad bot.

But the revenue brought in has just hit the floor recently, Google seem to have got complacent.

I think it will be interesting to see if google do punish for running yahoo ad's.

I've got one site on the yahoo at the minute, so will see how changes before doing to rest.
 
If anyone wants to ad yahoo context ads to their site for U.K sites, I have been given permission to hand out details for the person to contact. It seems a good system and deal to me, but obviously check out for yourself how it compares.

It's www.justgomedia.com

been dealing with a person called Esther,

All the best

Yeah i've been contacted by them too, looking into it as we speak, will give it a try out on a couple of my smaller sites.

Oh and i would'nt worry about Google penalising your site in the results just because you display Yahoo adverts!
