I have been approved to be a TTZ Media Affiliate marketer for quite a while now. I applied to be a affiliate since last month but haven’t got to place the ads yet. TTZ Media is another way where website or blogger owner can earn income through Pay-Per-Click earnings.

TTZ Media will display relevant ads on your website through the ads code. They have this very intuitive ad code generation system as well as a tracking system. According to TTZ Media, they have one of the most flexible ads on the web. I somehow don’t find it quite flexible as it says it is.

There are some requirements that need to be follow though before you can apply to be and affiliate.

1. Your own domain name. No free hosted sites allowed.
2. Site must be English only.
3. High quality content.
4. Updated frequently.

Among the categories that they will have ads display on are TV & Video, Video Games, Cameras & Camcorders, Computer Components, Keyboard/Mice, Computer Accessories. Though it isn’t much, I hope they will have more as time goes by.

I’m still wondering how much John Chow is involve in TTZ Media. The email I received from TTZ Media informing me that my account has been approved is also CC to ttz at johnchow.com. If it pays me well, I don’t really care who runs it.

I have tested it and place it on the side bar as you can see there. So far there isn’t much bugs except for one thing, the password login. It seems I can change to a very long password but when I try to log on with my new password, it informs me that my email and password doesn’t match. There seems to be a limit set on the number of characters on the log in page. Hope they will change it soon. I’m just using a simple password for now. Now go try and hack my TTZ Media account.

The owner of Text Link Ads and AuctionAds have launched another new ad service, ShoppingAds. ShoppingAds is just like Chitika’s and WidgetBucks where it display products from major shopping comparison sites. The only difference between AuctionAds and ShoppingAds is AuctionAds is based on Pay-Per-Action while ShoppingAds is based on Pay-Per-Click. I’ll talk about AuctionAds in another post and my experience with it.

If you are wondering whether you can place ShoppingAds together with Google Adsense, feel free to do so. ShoppingAds isn’t a contextual based ads therefore it has no conflict with Adsense or other text based ad system. All payments are paid on the first of every month thru PayPal for ShoppingAds. The minimum payout will be placed at $50. As for myself, I would prefer to place a Pay-Per-Click ads than a Pay-Per-Action ads. The chances of generating revenue from Pay-Per-Click is much higher.

WidgetBucks is a new Pay-Per-Click method of making money with your website or blog. You can see it in action on my sidebar. Since this is new, I’m still testing this out and see what are the earnings like. If you do know about Chitika’s eMiniMalls, it does have some resemblances to it.

Anyway, WidgetBucks is paying publishers or bloggers by CPC which means anytime someone clicks on and ad, you will earn some money. As part of its promotion to encourage sign ups, they are giving you $25 for that. Do note that the minimum payout is at $50 but don’t worry, you are already half way there. Payments are made by Check and PayPal. You can select which option you like in your account setting panel.

With WidgetBucks, you can choose what products to appear there. There are 13 main categories which you can select from. If you can’t decide what to category to use, you can let MerchSense to crawl your page to find relevant products to be inserted into your widget. I tried the MerchSense but it doesn’t work well here yet as I haven’t posted much post yet. Those product or gadget sites and blog will benefit from WidgetBucks a lot.

There are 5 types of ad size which you can choose from. Not too much of a choice yet but I believe they will add more in future. According to their FAQ, there is no limit as to how many of these WidgetBucks widget you want to add on your site or blog. Oh, did I mention that you can earn a 10% referral fees as well for a total of 12 months for each referral?
