Buy Sell Ads

Buy Sell Ads

BuySellAds.com has essentially taken over the blogosphere in terms of ad publishing and monetizing blogs. We were a bit skeptical at first (we signed up about a year ago). But it has turned out to be a great way to monetize unused ad space.

It is easy to make a few extra bucks using buysellads.com. Most sites use adsense, and maybe an affiliate program, and maybe even chitika. While these are good programs, you still have valuable space somewhere on your sites that could be further monetized by using the BuySellAds marketplace.  The site is very clear, and transparent. They take 25% of all ad revenue. All other ad agencies don’t tell you how much they take, but it is most likely neared to 45-55% depending on the company. What’s better is you get to set the price you want, so say you want $75 a month for an ad space, then you set the rate at $100, BuySellAds gets $25 for selling the space, and you get the $75 you wanted. It’s that simple to earn extra money.

The minimum you can charge for an ad space is $10 at the moment, so even if your site gets very little traffic you cans till most likely make a few extra dollars every month, and in this economy every little bit helps.

Social Networking is Not Taking Over Search

FaceBook Not Google

FaceBook Not Google

Social networking is not going to take over search. Some people have suggested that facebook will soon take over Google as the number one search engine. The strange thing is however that facebook is not a search engine by any definition of the word.

Facebook may one day have more searches than Google but those searches will be for things related to social networking. Unless however facebook redesigns their homepage to work much the same way as yahoo.
Yahoo’s homepage is a mixture of news, email, and other things, but it is predominantly a search engine. If Facebook took a similar approach and did search the entire web and provided good results then maybe the story will be different. But I don’t see that happening any time soon.

Then again, I am bit old school, so who knows.
