Hi Chuck,

thanks for your advice. I thought about focusing on one at a time and with this at least I could track my results. Given that I’m fairly green in classfied advertising.

Merry Christmas,
Vern

Hi Vern,

I supposed it depends on what kind of classified ads you’re referring to. These PW ads tend to be very colorful and make me a lot more interested in clicking on them to find out more.

I think you can test both at the same time and get a feel for them. But if you are trying for some serious level of testing, you may want to do them one at a time.

Hi Chuck,

this is certainly different from AdBrite altogether. However, what do you think about the difference between ‘project wonderful’ and classified ads in particular?

I was thinking about this but saw your post and figured if I could stick to one or test both at the same time…

Looks like a new option for monetization. I will check out. But I prefer paid blogging sites instead of these types. My best earner is payperpost.

I frequently find myself outbid, PD. In fact…I get way too many emails from them on the subject (update: this is now fixed. isn’t it amazing what you can do when you invest 30 seconds to solve one of those niggling little irritations! ). But, what I’m doing with it now is just as Wendy suggested. I threw a few bucks in to get started…and now, I just reinvest whatever I make from ads on my site to advertise on other sites. I haven’t aggressively worked at making money with it. But I do love some of the sites that use it, and even if the money isn’t big enough to make it worth my time, it still makes for a fun advertising option. Right now, I have ads running on a number of ads, including the Project Wonderful home page…sometimes. Other times, I’m outbid…but that’s fine. I don’t take it all too seriously. I still think it’s a terrific idea.

It looks like Blogpico outbid you at .60 now. I really like this model, I signed up and am going to try it myself. Thanks for the great post!

Matt, I suspect that, as long as there are systems, there will be abusers. For now, the amounts are not large enough to inspire that kind of thing, I don’t think. Could happen. But I must admit, I’m enjoying having advertisers on my sites that want to be there…and making some pennies here and there.

Great read sir…and you got me very interested in it ;). Granted I’m not really at the point yet to utilize this but it sounds like a great alternative to conventional ones like Adsense. I like the open system too, but do you think it could ever lead to a site owner artificially bidding up his ad much like on eBay? Just a thought but definitely worth a shot.

Thanks for this. I’m always looking for more and better monetization streams - looks like this one could be good - we’ll see.

Thanks for the info — I think I’ll give it a shot. I’m starting to monetize my blog and it might worth it for me, considering I have a personal blog.

That sounds like a good idea. I’ll give you feedback !
