Bidvertiser Test Complete/Helping Friend With Blog
Well the test is in for my Bidvertiser Ads. The ads went up on the 25th, so for 3 days. I had a total of 84 clicks and they paid and average of 25 cents a click. Not bad I suppose, but Adsense pays much more. Bidvertiser has been advertising that they are paying more and more per click, but it’s still not as lucrative as Adsense.
I noticed during the test, that I really hated the look of the ads on my home page. Just because of the layout and the choices I made (as pointed out by someone in the comments area), but because I realize that I just can’t stand advertising on my home page. I run Adsense on my permalink pages of course, and there are affiliate links sprinkled where they make sense, but I just don’t like any money making links on the main index page. I know I would make more if I exploited the home page, but so much that I want to ruin the look of the blog.
Did you notice that my index page loaded slower? Well it did for me. That alone is reason enough to keep the javascript ads of your index page. We want the fastest possible rendering for our home pages in order to keep weak Internet connections on board for loading. Â
So it was fun little test, but it’s on to the next, and the next. I’ll be back posting on this blog a few times this week. I’ll be busy building a blog for a friend in Saskatoon. The blog is www.mariebrenton.com. Hopefully she finds using her blog easy and worthy of her time. Most people who start blogs post for a short time and then they stop or fade away. It’s too bad, because a wee little blog can grow up to be a fat old blog with floods of traffic, and great streams of income.  Â
