Bunnykins’ Blog

Project wonderful was mentioned in a topic about google ads on invision power board’s forum. So I thought I would give it a try. I first started with the blog so I could get an idea of how it worked and how well it worked. It was doing better then the google ads I had so I thought I would put it on the anime database as well as otaku Play ground. It seems to work even better on those 2 as they have more traffic then my blog. So I am happy so far and I am hopping it helps pay for the hosting, or at least part of the hosting.

To me project wonderful is like the child of ebay and google ads or some thing like that. My basic understanding is as a publisher you offer ad space on your site and advertiser can bid to use that ad space and you earn money based on how much they bid. If you do not change the minimum bid on your ad space it starts out at 0, which for the blog I left it at that do to not having that much traffic on the blog.  For the database and otaku play ground I did set them to a minimum of 0.01 and I am getting advertisers so looks like I made the right choice. I am not sure if clicks help but would assume that if one of the visitors to the site clicks it helps encourage advertisers to bid higher. At least that is what I would think as if I was an advertiser and had my ads on a site I would want clicks and would pay more if I got clicks. So ya that part is different that google as on google you only get money if the ads are clicked on.

Not sure how my members are handling the ads as no one has said any thing yet about them.  I am thinking not to badly as I do have to approve all ads and I only approve those that are E rated, project wonderful calls it C rated. Which is safe for work and safe for children. I know that if I put google ads on otaku play ground I would have members upset do to the way google ads works. I mean some people do not like them as they see them as spyware. Me personally I do not think of google ads that way but do think of double click ad as spyware as spybot and other spyware removers see it as such. So ya I would never put double click ads on my site. I did have ads before that were paid ads. But worked differently. They were basically affiliate ads that I got from my host. The only way I earned money on those was if some one purchased from them.

So far I do like project wonderful and may even use it to get some free ads out there for my sites. I will just look for the ad spaces that are still at 0 and bid on them. I just need to create some ads and away I go.
