Projectwonderful ads - wonderful for whom?
October 28th, 2008 by GregAs you can see I added projectwonderful ads to the right of my blog but I am starting to wonder if this was a good move.
I left everything to the Projectwonderful defaults so the first ads where for free and then incrementing at $0.01c per day.
Now to be honest, 4 ads at $0.01 a days is not much to write home about, and a bit worrying, it cost me more in time to put the ads there in the first place.
I am away for a few days this week so I am going to give these ads two weeks trial and if prices don’t increase by much then I will consider using the blog real estate for something else more worthwhile.

I have been testing project wonderful on my website for almost a month. I did not get much new traffic from advertising on other sites, and at most I would earn $0.17 a day. Since my site is relatively new I chalked that up to low traffic, but either way it’s not much of income generator. Expense generator? That’s a different story. I am considering taking the ads off at the end of this month. You, of course, might get different results.
I used it for a week,then got rid of it.There is no income.bidding went as high as $0.20 but people were being such jerks they’d just outbid others so their duration wouldn’t be complete and then cancel the bid.Net result,despite decent popularity bidding-wise I managed 4 cents in 7 days.Pathetic.
I’ve seen people set the minimum bid to 20 cents or more on blogs with similar or lower traffic levels than mine. Mine has no minimum bid. Those sites seem to get bids at that level and above. Mine has never gone above 3 cents. I’m just wondering if it is better to set a minimum bid of 20 cents. If you only display an advertisement 1 day out of 20 days it’s the same as displaying a 1 cent advertisement every day. It is possible that I would get more than one day filled at that level, so I would come out ahead.
I’m almost to the end of my 1 month trial of no minimum bid then I’m going to bump it to 10 or 20 cents and see what happens.
I haven’t had mine very long. But I have seen an increase in traffic - to both my blog and from there, my shop. So, while it may not be an expense generator (which, frankly, I was not expecting) it is good advertising (so far). And as an expensecreator - you can’t find advertising much cheaper than this! The larger sites do cost more, but are still cheaper than full ads.
