Over in the Azoogleads forum at DigitalPoint, an interesting exchange sprung up between Shoemony, a well known super affiliate and JP the owner of the MaxBounty affiliate program. The post starts out innocently enough when a user asks if Azoogleads would be a good place to find ringtone ads. Someone replied that MaxBounty has a ringtone offer paying $13.90 per lead. Then Shoemoney jumped into the thread and said that MaxBounty is a bad company to work with and one of his friends way not paid when he drove a large volume of traffic to MaxBounty via PPC search traffic.

My previous post on Adsense Tips was popular, so here are a few more quick ones.
QuickOnlineTips has a good post about the best Adsense plugins for wordrepss. The plugins of most interest to me were:

• Adsense Beautifier – Adds attention grabbing images next to your Adsense ads. I have seen a few people claiming this technique helped them to double their Adsense CTR. The program puts a border between the images and the ads, so that you are in full compliance with the Adsense TOS. You can check out the plugin at use if you check out the post pages on EarnersBlog.

Bluehat SEO has a great idea up on how to make $100 per day. He proposes creating some free screensavers and packaging them with the software from ZangoCash. Zango pays $0.45 per user download, so this could add up pretty quickly. The post very clearly lays out how you could get this up and running, and how to promote the site.

I probably will not be jumping on this anytime soon. Zango has a relatively shady past, including an large fine from the FTC. The idea is good for stimulating further thoughts. In the comments of the original post, people bring up some other good ideas such as putting URLs for sites with PPC ads on the screensaver.

Have you ever wanted to give a domain a test drive before you sunk $9 into buying it for a year? Pool.com just released a new service allowing you to do just that. With their new Catch & Release program, you can register a domain name for 4.5 days to test it out for $.20. A $250 deposit is required to use the service.

With Text Link Ads recent acquisition by MediaWhiz, I thought that it would be a good time to revisit my initial Text Link Ads review. As I have used the program more and more, I have a few additional observations. Initially, I made four text links spots available for Text Link Ads to sell. All four slots are full now, and I just chose to make two additional text links spots available.

Over the past few days, I have come across a few Adsense tips that are worth sharing:

• Using Images to Increase Adsense CTR – A user on digitalpoint forums quadrupled his Adsense CTR when he placed related images next to his Adsense ads. The thread gives an interesting view of the before and after layouts. In order for this to be in compliance with the Adsense terms of service, you have to have a border around the images or a line separating the images and the ads. I will not do try this on MonetizeTraffic, but I could see using it on some of my other sites.
