ExitJunction.com Review
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009ExitJunction.com is the first network to serve non-intrusive pay per click ads to website visitors only after they leave the website! They serve a page full of ads when a user is trying to leave your site via the back button from the search engines. It’s a nonintrusive way to earn a little extra from people you normally wouldn’t. It won’t show the ExitJunction.com ads when they leave your site any other way. The ads are only shown when they come through search engines. When they leave via the back button, they probably won’t ever come back anyways, so might as well get some extra earnings from it. If they come via referred link on another site they won’t show the Exitjunction.com ads when they hit the back button. If they leave from a different page they originally came from or close the browser it won’t show the ads either.
I recently got an email from ExitJunction.com to try out their service. I signed up and put the javascript on my webpages and found a way to boost my income daily overnight. I been using them for a while now and make a decent amount of money. First you signup and then submit each website you want to put the code on. Approval was fast for me, but I hear they are getting a backlog due to so many new signups, so it may take a few days to get approved. Youll also notice your adsense impressions will jump up about a third when you add the exitjunction code. This is only because a lot of users seeing the Exitjunction ads decide to go back on your site again. This should translate into extra earnings on Exitjunction.com and adsense and affiliate ads, as they take a better look at your site the 2nd time and maybe click on an ads on your site.

How to earn money using Digg and Stumbleupon
Friday, January 16th, 2009Social networks, like Digg and Stumbleupon, are a way to boost traffic to websites through word of mouth in the networks. Now you can get paid to submit links for webmasters through these networks.
What is Digg & Stumbleupon?
Digg and Stumbleupon both work on a voting system, where users can vote a website link positively or negatively. Those with many positive votes will get high visibility, those with more negatives than positive votes, will get buried and eventually taken off the site.
Is there any catch?
Yes, you are not supposed to get paid to do this, so you could get banned by Digg and Stumbleupon. They have special procedures at the site to help you avoid this. Realize that doing this is unethical because it is manipulating the original intent of the social networks.
How Subvertandprofit works:
With Subvertandprofit , you will get an email everytime there is a new offer. You will get paid $0.50 for each digg or stumble vote. Votes are very quick to do. Payments are done by paypal. Their referral program pays 20% of the earnings of other users and 10% of advertisers in your downline.
A1Supplements Affiliate Program Review
Monday, January 12th, 2009A1supplements is a supplement store, which focuses mostly on bodybuilding and fat loss type supplements. I have years of personal experience with this affiliate and can tell you they deliver a very high earning rate, especially for bodybuilding related websites. This could work great for any kind of fitness or bodybuilding or supplement related site.
This is actually my highest earning affiliate program because of the good payout rate, their great reputation, and because they have a 2nd tier for referred publishers. I’ve had some people click on my link and that resulted them being a high earning affiliate which earns me passive income. Even though they aren’t as well known as Bodybuilding.com or some other supplement companies they make up for it for the extra commissions.
Payouts are 15% on sales for 60 days plus 5% for life of any commissions of sub-affiliates you join to the program. Payments are by either check or paypal. Their affiliate program is an in house program. They have no Datafeeds and they will manualy review your application to join as an affiliate. Join A1supplements affiliate program.
LinkWorth Review
Friday, January 2nd, 2009Linkworth.com not only has sponsored post opportunities available for publishers, but also text link ads and pay per click banner ads. Once your site is approved by staff, you must wait for these sponsored post or text link ad opportunities to come to you.
Opportunities are usually hard to come by, unless you have a high ranking blog. Linkworth seems to give most of their opportunities to blogs with alot of traffic or high PR. You get a choice between a 70/30 or 50/50 split in percentage of each transaction, your cut between you and linkworth. Linkworth says the 50/50 get higher priority for opportunities.
Linkworth pays by check, direct deposit, and paypal monthly with no minimum amount required. They also have their own affiliate program, where you earn $50 for every publisher you refer who earns at least $100. Before you can be paid, Linkworth requires U.S citizens a social security number and to fill out their online tax form. Join LinkWorth.com Affiliate program.
ShareaSale.com Review
Thursday, December 25th, 2008Shareasale is a large affiliate network since 2000, with hundreds of programs across many topics. It works as a middleman between 3rd party merchants and affiliates to handle billing and accounting. This ensures tracking compliance, security, and makes it easier to reach the minimum payout balance since all commissions are grouped together as one balance.
Payouts done once account balance reaches $50. They pay by check and direct deposit. Their network offers Pay per sale (percentage or fixed amount) and the Pay per click is available to affiliates after first payment. Shareasale has their own affiliate program too, paying $150 for each merchant and $1 per affiliate signed up under your link. Affiliate membership requirements are Auto approval. English only, no porn, illegal, or hate sites allowed.
Pros of Shareasale are; Creating direct product urls and general links is very convenient, unlike commission junction and other networks. Datafeeds, coupons, and 2 tier affiliate programs are also available to affiliates from participating merchants. Shareasale will also test merchants for sales tracking compliance, which is important due to some merchants trying to defraud the system. If a merchant runs out of money they will be given a temporarily offline status with no warning, making your links invalid. However, joining merchants with autodeposit avoids this problem.
Cons of Sharesale network; Social security number for U.S citizens is required to be paid. Direct deposit and check are only current payment options. Most of the merchants in the network are U.S. businesses.

ClickBooth Review
Monday, December 22nd, 2008Clickbooth is a advertising network that is reporting good reviews. They have 3 categories of advertising: Cost-per-click, Cost-per-Lead and Cost-per-Sale. The first pays you for each click, the next is just for each signup, and the 3rd you get paid for each actual sale completed. There is hundreds of advertisers to choose from, making it convenient to switch or add new advertisers. Clickbooth seems to pay better compared to other networks for the same advertisers.
Minimum payments are 50 dollars by paypal or check. Clickbooth also has a referral program. The only thing I find odd is that on the domain whois registration, the registrant is a man named John L. I don’t feel comfortable giving my SSN to a site that can’t even put their registration in a business name, like Hydramedia does, or at least even a full personal name.

Get Paid to Online Jury through eJury
Thursday, December 18th, 2008This website is outside of the scope of usual topics I cover on this blog, but since it technically deals with making money online and it was so creative I definitely felt I had to discuss this one.
This website pays you take part in a virtual jury online! On the website they say it only takes about 35 minutes for the average virtual trial where you will be asked a series of questions. They claim there will be an average of one opportunity a week that pays you 5 to 10 dollars. So you could be making 20 to 30 dollars extra a month online just spending 2 or 3 hours extra a month.Payments are done by paypal.
Unfortunately they have strict requirements, so its not for everyone.
Qualifications for service as an eJuror are much the same as the requirements for actual jury service in the United States. To qualify as an eJuror, you must:
be at least 18 years of age;
be a citizen of the United States;
be of sound mind and good moral character;
be able to read and write;
have never been convicted of a felony; andnot be under indictment or other legal accusation of misdemeanor theft or felony theft or any felony charge.
I plan on signing up later and if it really works out as claimed it may give ejury a detailed review if warrants another one. The idea is creative, but it makes real world sense to me. There is plenty of lawyers out there that will want to know information through “surveying” a pool of people online to find out how well their court case is built.

Best Bodybuilding Supplement Affiliate
Tuesday, December 16th, 2008I own a network of bodybuilding sites and by far the most profitable affiliate on these bodybuilding sites has been A1supplements.com. I’ve tried other bodybuilding supplement affiliate programs and they all do fairly OK, but this is the best. The prices on supplements are excellent, which is probably why it has converted so well as an affiliate program. A1supplements affiliate program should work on most supplement and fat loss related websites because many visitors going to these sites are interested in cheap supplements. The affiliate program will convert the best on bodybuilding related websites I believe.
As an affiliate you earn 15% on all sales referred on a 60 day cookie. They also pay 5% on the commissions of any other affiliates you refer to the program. Payments are by check only and they do require U.S citizens to fill out a tax form before they receive their first payment.

Shareasale Review
Friday, December 12th, 2008Many of the programs I review on this blog are from the Shareasale affiliate network. The first thing I always recommend affiliate marketers to do is to join Shareasale network. They have everything that affiliate marketers need to get started including coupons, datafeeds, direct urls, 2nd tier affiliate programs, auto-deposit.
What I also really like about Shareasale is the fact they constantly check their affiliates for compliance. Some affiliates remove their tracking software and the affiliate networks don’t check very often. Shareasale checks often and will even show a complete history of when they were online and offline. This helps you avoid affiliate programs that go offline on purpose in order to have to pay less commissions. It happens more often then you think. Most networks don’t have a 2nd tier or coupon option in their network, both which are very valuable for serious affiliate marketers.
Shareasale network has a great choice of affiliate programs. U.S and Canada affiliate marketers should find many good affiliate programs to choose from in most niches. You may not find all the programs that you want, but Shareasale should be adequate to get you started in an affiliate marketing career. Payments are done by Check and direct deposit with a 50 dollar minimum for payout. U.S citizens must fill out tax form before payment. Join Shareasale.com affiliate network.
Linkshare Review
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008LinkShare online since 1996, is one of the first affiliate networks on the net. Their affiliate network has some major brand names such as ESPN and Walmart. There is no minimum balance required for payouts. Payments are done by Check and issued by Linkshare or the 3rd party merchant, depending on the setting of the merchant. They also have their own affiliate program, paying $1.50 per affiliate you refer to the Linkshare network. To use different merchants in the network, you must apply to each one for each individual website.
What great thing about Linkshare is that it is an established network with many well known brand name affiliate programs. Their minimum payout is only $1, most other networks are 25-100. Their Interface is confusing and not very convenient though. You must sign up every website you own. You have to use different affiliate links for different websites you put the links on. There is no option to create custom direct urls to link to individual pages. There also is no 2nd tier affiliate programs for merchants in network, datafeeds are not free, no coupon options. There is no auto-deposit feature viewable, so there is no way to know how well a affiliate program will stay active. They don’t show a detailed program uptime history or publicly show any kind of affiliate tracking verification information like Shareasale does. Payments are not all done by Linkshare, it depends on the merchant. Payments can take months from certain merchants, if done by the merchant instead of Linkshare. If you have any payment issues with a 3rd party merchant, LinkShare expects affiliates to report those problems to Linkshare. Before your first payment, you are also required to fill out a tax form if you’re a U.S citizen. It’s also a hassle creatine a profile for each website you own and having to apply to each merchant and wait for acceptance before you can use their links. Join LinkShare.com affiliate program.
