TNX.net is my weekly income generator. I like it because of its $5 minimum payout, endless text link ads on my site, and of course its earning speed.

Basically I cash out my points every week as long as it is more than 10000 points regardless the buyout price (buyout price grows every week due to growth of the entire TNX network and its effectiveness.)

Just yesterday when I tried to cash out my points for buyout price $0.82 per 1000pts, I saw a new statement - “Including points on hold: 33279.00 (you can not withdraw these points because they are given in advance, but you can use them for your campaigns)“.

Google Adsense has finally implemented the latest text ad format for its Adsense users. This new format includes “next” and “previous” arrow buttons for website surfers to look for more related CPC ads. It’s more like a controlable ads slide show to me.

Bear in mind that no profit will be generated when user clicks on the ‘next’ and ‘previous’ buttons. These navigation buttons just built for providing a better ads search for internet surfers, and so, Adsense users can increase their revenue at the same time.

Not bad huh??

I just got my Nuffnang checks today. For your information, my earning has reached over RM100 in December 2007. After 3 long months, I finally got my payment from Nuffnang. I can say this is a very late payment for a local internet ads company. After I experienced Advertlets late payment, I thought it would be better for Nuffnang to process publishers’ payment due to their good reputation. But apparently I am wrong.

This is what Nuffnang states at the bottom of “Earning” page.

[Please note that a transaction fee of RM 1 will be applied to any cashout payments.
Please also allow about 30 days for your payment to be processed and sent.]

For my 11 Dec 07 earning, it takes almost 3 months to reach me. It’s about 90 days but not 30 days. I am not someone who is waiting for Nuffnang’s payment for my living. I am just disappointed with their service.

I think they should change their website banner to the below one.

 

PS: For Gokita or GrabMyAds, I seriously doubt anyone has got their payment as their ads earning speed is super slow if compared to Google Adsense.   :?:

WidgetBucks has launched International CPM Ads last year. However, traffics from Malaysia and other Asia countries were not be accepted in cost-per-thousand impressions basic

Unfortunately, according to WidgetBucks blog, WidgetBucks just shortened the list of countries that pay on CPM basis, which means, only traffics from lesser countries will earn CPM revenue.

Revenue earned through visitors from countries no longer on the list will still be paid through today, March 7.
If a WidgetBucks ad widget is placed on a site that is visited by a user in a non-paying country, that user will not see any ad content.

List of countries whose traffic continues to pay on a CPM basis:

• Australia (AU)
• Austria (AT)
• Belgium (BE)
• Denmark (DK)
• France (FR)
• Germany (DE)
• India (IN)
• Ireland (IE)
• Italy (IT)
• Netherlands (NL)
• New Zealand (NZ)
• Portugal (PT)
• Puerto Rico (PR)
• Singapore (SG)
• South Africa (ZA)
• Spain (ES)
• Switzerland (CH)
• United Arab Emirates (AE)
• United Kingdom (GB)

My $0.02

So again, Malaysia is not in the list. Traffics from Malaysia is apparently valueless for WidgetBucks’ advertisers. Therefore, if your targeted traffics are mostly from Malaysia, WidgetBucks might not be an efficient money maker for you.

Make money online with putting Google ads, selling text link ads and writing per pay post are no longer a new thing in blogsphere. In order to generate more income, we need more creative methods to fully use the website. Therefore, NetAudioAds has came out an idea to sell audio (Voice) ads through bloggers.

How does NetAudioAds work?

NetAudioAds is an online advertising media format which plays 5 seconds audio ads on your website whenever a visitor drops by. It is based on PPP(Pay-Per-Play) to decide the income of your website. Audio ads are only heard on web pages where the website owner has placed PPP code.

PPP audio ads are smart enough to play related content of any webpage where the PPP code is placed. The visitor will only hear one audio ad for every 3 minutes they visit if they have already heard an audio ad on another page of the same website.

Make Money with PPP audio ads

As a website owner can earn up to 25% of the “per-play” revenue spent by the advertisers that play audio ads on your website.

By referring other website owners, you can earn 5% of the total amount that our advertisers spend running ads on your referrals website(s). Therefore, without playing the PPP audio ads on your website, you also can earn some easy money too.

Advertises spend $100, whoever referred by you will earn $25, and you will earn $5.

Note that publishers can enjoy the earning from 2 tiers of affiliates.

There are some new changes for Google Adsense referral program as Google team has decided to modify the original plan. Bad news for anyone who depends heavily on the earning of referring new publishers to Google Adsense.

1. New Plan for Promoting Google Adsense

Thanks for many fraud cases of cheating Google Adsense USD250 referral fee, Google Adsense team has decided to pay to user(the person who being referred by you) who is located in North America, Latin America or Japan ONLY!!!! Location of publisher has nothing to do with this change. You’ll earn USD100 for every user you refer to Google Adsense when they generate USD 100 in their Adsense revenue within 180 days. This condition comes with they must remove the payment holds too.

Previously Google Adsense pays USD250 for every user you refer when his/her revenue has reached UDS100 within 180 days.

These changes will go into effect the last week of January.

2. New Plan for Promoting Google Pack and Firefox

1. Google Pack - Each successful Google pack referral will only earn up to USD1 instead of USD 2 from the third week of February. Location of referrals and users has nothing to do with this change.
2. Firefox - Any Firefox from China will get a lesser payment from the third week of February. That means any installation from China users will not make publishers a good earning.

Needless to say, these changes sure will decrease revenue for most of the publishers. What else can publisher does besides accept these changes? If you want to stay in the game, play with the new rules and continue have fun with it.
