The Low Down on Auction Ads
I was interested to see reference made at Link Building blog to Auction Ads. It’s been a while since I’ve seen their name mentioned and it kind of reminded me to take a closer look at what they do.
So for the uninitiated, here is a quick summary:
How do they work?
“When your site’s visitors click on an Auction Ad listing and take an action on eBay you earn cash. Actions are defined as a Winning Bid, a Buy-it-Now or a confirmed user registration. AuctionAds is committed to paying out a minimum of 100% of eBay commission revenue. See eBay’s affiliate program for details on the payout.”
In theory this should be great for product based blogs.
Payments
“We send out payments the first of every month via PayPal. The payment is for all revenue generated the previous month. There is a $10 minimum for earnings.”
This is always a useful feature for smaller publishers.
Can you run Auction Ads with Google AdSense?
“Yes, Auction Ads is not a contextually based ad product and is compatible with all other ad systems.”
If you have any doubts about running any ad programs jointly, always check the T’s & C’s or pose the question direct.
Number of ad units allowed on each page
“None.”
Auction Ads seems to be receiving mixed reviews. Just check out the comments on this post. However, the theory behind it really does make sense, particularly for product centric blogs. One suspects the income is certainly more lumpy than AdSense.
