Internet Marketing Notes

I’ve just received an e-mail notifying me that AuctionAds is now part of TLA and that new AuctionAds publishers will automatically receive $25 in their account on signing up.

I’ve not paid much attention to AuctionAds even though it has been around for several months now. With the new publisher bonus/incentive, I thought I might as well give AuctionAds a try.

Signing up with AuctionAds

Signing up with AuctionAds took barely a minute. Really, there’s not much to it other than some basic personal info and PayPal ID (for payment).

Generating ad code and placing ads on a site

Generating the Javascript ad code was easy too. Just log in to the members’ area, and go to Get Code. Specify the keywords to trigger the ads, a campaign name (think AdSense channel), and ad type/format.

The ad formats are similar to those found in AdSense and the colors of the background, borders and text can be customized. When done, a preview is generated. Copy the code and embed it into the site HTML….Voila! It’s done!

Unlike AdSense, you can place as many ads as you want on one page. The ads feature products from the eBay marketplace and given the diverse range of products available on eBay, tailoring the ads to a site content shouldn’t be much of an issue — great for long-tail sites! Oh…should I mention that AuctionAds ads can co-exist with AdSense ads.

How money is made?

AuctionAds is a pay-per-action program. So money is made after the user clicks on an ad listing and takes action on eBay. According to the FAQ,

Actions are defined as a Winning Bid, a Buy-it-Now or a confirmed user registration.

I’m trying out AuctionAds on a few sites and will report back here on the ad performance.

If you’re not on AuctionAds yet, do hurry, as you stand to receive $25 as a new publisher — before the offer runs out!
