What a clever play on words. Get it? NASDAQ -> ADSDAQ? Like the stock exchange? No? Yeah…

Does no one ever click your Google Adsense ads anymore? Is your 0.000138% CTR bringing you down? Then try ADSDAQ, the CPM program with a bunch of awesome features that will definitely bring you mad moneyz.

WHAT IS ADSDAQ?
ADSDAQ is a CPM (cost per mille [thousand for you Latin illiterates. Which is pretty much everyone]) ad program that lets you set your own price for the ads shown on your website. Want to charge a $2 CPM? You got it! Are you insane? Then set your CPM to $99 and let the money not pour in. The ability to set your own CPM works because ADSDAQ have advertisers that are willing to pay a certain amount of cash for ad spots.

WHAT’S THE CATCH?
Well, ADSDAQ doesn’t pay you for all of your impressions. Depending on how high you’ve set your CPM, you’ll monetize about 40-50% of your hits - which isn’t that bad, considering the secret weapon ADSDAQ has up its sleeves:

BACK-UP AD TAGS
ADSDAQ allows you to use other ad programs in conjunction with its own without breaking any rules! You can add in tags for any ad program you’re already using and whenever ADSDAQ can’t sell your own ads, they’ll perform a switcharoo and use the back-up ads instead! You can even set the ad rotation for your back-up ads.

Overall, you should definitely try ADSDAQ. Set a high CPM so that when you get paid you get paid well and add some backup tags to monetize every visitor.

Your blog isn’t a blog until you’ve used at least two of the three services mentioned above.

Sponsored posts - who doesn’t love ‘em? I mean, they get you money and in return the readers get… uh… errm… well, you get money!

WHAT IS A SPONSORED POST?
A sponsored post is a way to spice up your site by adding a badly-written review of a gambling website on it. You can also inform your readers about the benefits of getting a free credit report on disiznotscam.co.cc. In exchange, you are paid money. Money makes everything better.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Actually, there are quite a few. Here’s a list:

1. The post topic is already pre-written for you. In fact, you can probably just copy a sponsored post off of another blog with the same links and use it as your own.
2. Money.
3. Err…. uh…. well… did I mention the money?

Okay, I give up. There are really no benefits whatsoever.
You know, there are actually so many reasons that I can’t write an adequate list. It would take too long.

IN SHORT…
Sign up for as many sponsored review sites as you can. If you subsequently lose all readership, who cares? All these companies look at is your pagerank! Of course, if you write sponsored reviews you lose pagerank so… The system is completely flawed foolproof!

 Thanks, Nullamatix!

What could possibly be more exciting than visiting a website and having that soothing, deep voice of one of those dudes that does voice-overs for commercials come on for six seconds telling you to eat at Taco Bell? That’s right, absolutely nothing!

NetAudioAds is a new ad-serving program that plays short annoying messages for all of your readers to hate! They promise to monetize 100% of your traffic at around $10 per thousand visits ($10/cpm). Imagine going on a website with one six-second audio byte on every page. Wouldn’t that just be great?

Of course, there is one major flaw in NetAudioAds plan - everything about it. To help illustrate, I’ve created a very simple chart in which the effects of putting pay-per-play ads (that’s what they’re called, apparently) on your website with my blog as an example:

Here are the three steps that will happen:

1. You install the ad onto your blog. You are quite happy as you make five dollars on your first day!
2. Your readers are harassed by the ad. They abandon you and leave your blog shaken in the corner, crying.
3. You make enough money to buy a sandwich at the cost of your blog.

In short, participating in this program is like selling your readers.

Take a look above. don’t those pop-ups just look wonderful? The beautiful, rich coloring and flashing images are sure to please anyone - what’s not to love? Pop-up advertising is one of the great American pastimes: you can’t go wrong.

FRUSTRATION WITH CONVENTION
Many well-known programs like Google Adsense pay you on how many clicks your ads get. As you know, no one even looks at ads anymore - they blend in like zebras with your site content. Many people, myself included, have often become frustrated with this performance based payout. I want all of my visitors to be little money making machines and that’s that. It is basically guaranteed that your visitors will see the pop-ups (unless they’re using ad blockers - we’ll get to that later) and thus they make more money.

WONT POP-UPS SCARE AWAY MY READERS?
Why are you even asking this? You want readers?

Anyway, pop-ups are universally loved. After all, they’re used on many popular websites and people still visit those. Just check out that picture. The person who took that screenshot had at least 16 popups opened; they must enjoy them!

WILL IT MAKE ME MONEY?
I’m glad you asked. Actually, I’m not (it makes me write more content), but I’m obliged to answer. In short, yes. Popups are great sources of revenue since you’re paid for every impression.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN POP-UPS
Looking for the perfect company amongst the multitudes that offer pop-up advertising can be quite a challenge - much like finding a needle in a haystack but without the dirt, sweat, or arm surgery when the pin is driven into your bone when another competitor “accidentally” bumps into you…

ANYWAY, I’m kidding about the toughness. There are about as many well-known companies as I can count on one hand.

Tribal Fusion: Tribal Fusion generally has very good rates and a pretty rockin’ name.

PayPopUp: PayPopUp pays for pop-ups (hence the name). Its logo also sort of looks like if the E*Trade logo got stretched out and inverted.

Adversal: Adversal offers up to $1.20 per 1,000 pageviews. Not only that, it’s advanced “technology will evade most pop-up blockers…” Allow your readers no quarter!

Casale Media: Casale Media is one of the most infamous of all CPM (cost per thousand) ad networks. I don’t quite understand if the Casale stands for anything, but it sounds like a mean casserole/ale hybrid.

There are a few more, I’m sure, and if you feel they deserve mention then just leave a comment!

THOSE PESKY POP-UP BLOCKERS
Pop-up blockers are pretty much used by everyone now. I’m not sure why (ads are an important part of a healthy diet), but there is no easy way to combat them. I suggest putting so many ads on your site that at least one of them will break through this ad barrier. Or it could just destroy your readers computer. Either way, this strategy works. You’ll be much more appreciated because, hey, pop-ups are fun for everyone!
