Today I’ve something I am pretty excited about. This month, Pepperjam gives everyone signing up for their program the opportunity to receive $10. Not only but for each post you write(up to 5 per month) you receive $10(for an amount of $50 a month).
Have you understood well? They pay you for each review you writes for them. This system it’s similar to “PayPerPost” program where any publisher will receive money for each post you write. In my opinion, if there is only one thing that lets things down with this offer for me, it is their low budget per review.
I’m an publisher, why should I want to create an account, with Pepperjam program?
Well, Pepperjam offers one of the best affiliate programs in the industry. According to a recent Marketing Sherpa article, Pepperjam Network is getting into the affiliate marketplace between top 5 major affiliate networks in the United States. The company has now increased of 17.7% their slice of market and continues to grow.
When you first login to the Pepperjam system you are offered with a ton of campaign and search options. Pepperjam does a nice job in making it easy for you to search through their Top Network offers, which are sorted by onsite placement, search, path and networks.
You can use PJN referral Program affiliate link and make additional money, as well. This is a the potential for a great viral promotion for Pepperjam Network.
One of the great benefits of posting about Pepperjam program is that you can use PJN refferal program affiliate link in order that if people really like your post, they will click on the affiliate links and make more money.
Pepperjam is a really good affiliate business model and I think for now you won’t find anothe program that does an so great offer.

Together with my colleague Tim we’ll be running through a guide to successful Adsense optimization. One of the great things that Mel Ann and I we love abut our job, is helping publishers maximize their Adsense performance via the optimization program”.
To determine how your visitors view the content, the first thing to do is that to analyze each single web page and check how your banner adsense work. To made it, all you need to do is to using the custom channel to know which are your Google AdSense ad units performance.
In this way we can getting the better performance than having multiple ad units on a page. Second, we determine the better ad formats and placements of your ads such as color, position and size. Once tracking and measuring your results you are able to check where your optimization have had success.
The better way to do your site that work well for advertisers is:
Putting banner ads that showing both text and images.
Write good content and build a site well designed.
Using large block ads such as 336×280 or 300×300 media rectangle.
1) Analyze your web page.
In this phase we need know how users interact with ours site. What they are reading, where they clicking, etc. This phase depends by few factor:
Type of content.
Where attention are focusing.
How are integrated ours banners ads into the website.
The heatmap highlights the areas on a web page where ads perform well, but we all know that the better place where place your ad banner is above the fold to your primary content.
2) Set up Custom Channel
As I said first, one of the most important aspects to optimize your banner ads is that to analyze each web page by create a new custom channel.
From the links below the AdSense Setup tab, click Channels
Choose the appropriate product sub-tab and click the Custom Channels link
On the resulting page, enter a name that will help you to identify this channel later. For example, carpages or blue_skyscrapers. You can also check the targeting checkbox to have this custom channel displayed to advertisers as a targetable ad placement. If you choose to do so, you’ll need to enter additional details. If not, simply continue to create a custom channel for tracking purposes only.
Click Add channel. Your new channel will be added to the Active Channels list.
To add the channel-specific code to your page:
Click the AdSense Setup page and choose the appropriate product. After choosing your ad type, format, and colors, select up to five custom channels from the Channel list by clicking the add>> link. Then click Continue.
Copy-and-paste the ad layout code into your webpages. The channel identifier within your code will track performance on these pages.
3) Optimize Your Ad Units Design And Performance
The most used Ad units format are:
The medium rectangle(300×250)
Leaderboard(728×90)
Wide skyscraper(180×150)
If you want to see flash video I reccomend you to put at least one medium rectangle(300×250) or (250×250) as I made on my left sidebar.
Tracking And Measure Your Result.
To generate a report tab on your custom channel click on the advanced report subtab. Select the “channel data” and the channels that you would like to compare. This allows you to compare different ad units based unplacement, color or format. In this example was compared the performance of 160×600 skyscraper against the 300×650 medium rectangle.
If you have any questions about AdSense or if you would like more detail on AdSense optimization in general please feel free to contact the AdSense team by emailing adsense-support@google.com or go to the Help Center guide.

Where I live, using a bike to go at work could be easy, cheap, green, but isn’t an alternative means because there are no bicycle lanes, and even automated public transportation isn’t efficient in this place. The car is the only way to move from one place to another, yet.
When we talk about car, one key question that shouldn’t be ignored is how many car family for convenience we need to have.
We can think to choose to have two-car family for convenience or have one car, while you paying off debt. I can think to place the money in a place saving to have an emergency fund, and try use one car a few weeks until it’s paid off debt instead to buy another car and increase my debt.
If we want look at the question from this angle, let me make an example. In september 2006, when a traffic accident devastates my car unfortunately I didn’t have an emergency fund and i had serious problem with credit card debt.
From my insurance company I got $1900 for it. Car insurance policies usualy vary from country to country and from state to state. ( If you want to know more about car insurance there are several website that provides knowledge on this. Currently I’m reading maczoop which provides information related to car and car insurance claims.)
Instead than make the just choice and buy a used car, I asked $13,000 to purchase a brand new volkswagen, the car I’m still using today. In this way I increased my life in debt.
Have you had to make the choice between buying a car or paying off debt? My advice if you want buy another car and pay off your debt is that to buy a cheap used car. And your?
There’s a thing that almost every blogger want to have once built a website. That thing is a web site that is mobile device compatible. Fortunatly, a great many third-party solutions are launched up, allowing you to extend the capability of Wordpress.
In my case, I want to announce that the3dtechnologies is mobile device compatible today, thanks the AlexKing’s WordPress Mobile Edition plugin. The better thing of this plugin is that will redirect all mobile devices’ browsers to a mobile friendly version of your blog.
Installation
The first thing to do is to download this small plugin(about 12,7KB) on your computer and upload it on your server via FTP
Drop the wp-mobile.php file in your wp-content/plugins directory
Drop the wp-mobile directory in your wp-content/themes directory
Click the ‘Activate’ link for WordPress Mobile Edition on your Plugins page (in the WordPress admin interface)
As result, you will display content of the blog only in the mobile version. All the graphics and other excessive things will be removed. Unlike in RSS readers, in mobile version you can view/make comments too.
Make Money Online With USB Block Ad Plugin
Amazing many thing are made every day for Wordpress. Maybe UBD Block AdPlugin is the first that allows you to set up your 125×125 buttons you see on your right sidebar, because I do not know other way to do this. This is the plugin that serves all my block ads. It’s free and relatively non-intrusive to the browsing experience. You can view the plugin in action, below:
What you’ll can do when you using this plugin is:
You can either use one column or two columns to display your ads.
It allows to put a maximum of 10 ads at any given time.
It will also automatically rotate your advertisers with each page refreshed. For instance, if you have 6 button and 10 advertisers, the plugin will simple rotate 10 advetisers among 8 buttons.
This plugin allows to choose how many ads would you like to show. You don’t need to put any piece of code, the plugin edit the sidebar.php file automatically, in order to add the block ads to your page.
In my view, it incredibly easy to use and one of the most useful plugins made for Wordpress to generate revenue from your blogs.
