Now it has been proved that, the clicks we get on oue blogs’ ads are mostly from the people who come from Search Engine and not from our blogs’ regular visitors.

Thus, it will be a better idea to display Adsnse ads to only those coming from Search Engine. This will also prevent your blog from being “Smart Priced”.

For this add this code to your functions.php file -

function scratch99_fromasearchengine(){
$ref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$SE = array(’/search?’, ‘images.google.’, ‘web.info.com’, ’search.’, ‘del.icio.us/search’, ’soso.com’, ‘/search/’, ‘.yahoo.’);
foreach ($SE as $source) {
if (strpos($ref,$source)!==false) return true;
}
return false;
}

The $SE array is where you specify search engines. You can easily ad new search engines by adding new elements to the array.

Then, paste the following code anywhere on your template where you want your adsense ads to appear. They’ll be displayed only to visitors comming from search engines results.

if (function_exists(’scratch99_fromasearchengine’)) {
if (scratch99_fromasearchengine()) {
INSERT YOUR CODE HERE
}
}

If you are getting a lot of user registrations and want to flaunt it, then what else can be the best than show your “Latest User Registeres” list in your sidebar.

What you have to do is just paste the following code to your sidebar -

<h2>Latest registered users</h2>
<ul>
<?php
$usernames = $wpdb->get_results(”SELECT user_nicename, user_url FROM $wpdb->users ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 5“);

foreach ($usernames as $username) {
echo ‘<li><a href=”‘.$username->user_url.’”>’.$username->user_nicename.”</a></li>”;
}
?>

</ul>

This will display a list of latest 5 registered users in your sidebart along with the url.

You can change the number of users in list by simply changing the number 5 (in red) in above code.

Inserting Ads in your blog’ RSS feed can be a good idea to boost up your earnings. You may have seen many peoples doing this.

If you publish your feeds with FeedBurner (now acquired by Google) then you can easily show Adsense ads there at by using Adsens for feeds.

And if you want to show other ads in your RSS feeds, then you can do this by modifying the functions.php file (if you dont have one create it).

<?php
function insertAds($content) {
$content = $content.’<hr /><a href=”http://webmasters-blog.com/”>Keep visiting webmasters-blog.com</a><hr />’;
return $content;
}
add_filter(’the_excerpt_rss’, ‘insertAds’);
add_filter(’the_content_rss’, ‘insertAds’);
?>

Here, we first create a function called insertAds(), which concatenate a code containing our advertisment to the $content variable, which contains the content of the post.
Then, we use the add_filter() function to overwrite the the_content_rss() function with our insertAds() function. We use another filter to overwrite the_excerpt_rss() function as well.
That’s all, your rss feeds now displays your ads!

Though CPM advertisements are not suitable for low traffic sites, many webmasters having sites with comparatively low traffic may want to give CPM ads a try. Personally I think that CPM network does not work with low traffic sites as you cant earn more with CPM ads unless you have some modest tarffic. Just think that if a CPM network pays $0.5 CPM i.e. $0.5 for 1000 impressions, and your site gets only 500 impressions per day, then you will be making $0.25 per day and that too only if your inventory is filled 100% (which is relatively impossible with low traffic sites.)

Still if you want to give CPM ads a try, here are some CPM Advertising Networks with NO or low traffic requirements.

I. Adsdaq

It is one of the best CPM option for low traffic sites. It has no traffic requirements at all. It serves ads in 4 formats – 120×600, 160×600, 300×250, 728×90. After your signup you can add sites your account, which need to be approved before displaying ads.

After being approved you can create ‘Ad Tag Group’ for your sites. Here you can set your CPM price aka AskPrice. This is the best feature of Adsdaq which gives it an edge above other CPM networks. You can also add backup ad tags, i.e. if your inventory is not filled with the CPM price you asked for, you can display other network ads whhich will definitely boost your earnings. They pay via cheque and PayPal.

II. Traffic Marketplace

Allows you to choose from 5 different types of advertising include pop-unders, but they are not required. I just use the Square Box, Leader Board and Standard Banner.

They pay via Cheque or PayPal in USD. Minimum of $50 USD. The use the MassPay feature at paypal now so that you do not loose any money in paypal fees when receiving if you have a business/premier account.

There website stats net. 30. Stats are verified 15th of month (or there abouts) and are paid 30 days later, typically the last week of the following month.

They approve the majority of sites including get paid to sites and I do not think they have a minimum amount of traffic required to be a publisher.

They are a 65% revenue sharing system.

III. Neoffic.com

They use the iframe technology for CPM ads.The size of the banner is 480X60, you can change it by your self, but the minimum size is 240X60. There is no kind of disgusting PopUps. You can put the banner on as many sites as you wish.

They claim to pay $2 CPM.They pay to partners via E-Gold(no fee), PayPal(no fee) or Moneybookers(10% fee). E-Gold, PayPal and Moneybookers payment is sent within 3 days after request. The minimum payout is $0.5, a payment request button will appear in your account once you reach the minimum.

Only visitors from these countries are counted – US(United States) CA(Canada) GB(United Kingdom) AU(Australia) NZ(New Zealand) DE(Grmany) FR(France) IT(Italy) NL(Netherlands) BE(Belgium). Visitors from the same IP will be counted only once within 24 hours.

As they have no site requirements you can give a try.

IV. Axill.com

They offer $0.30 cpm. Which seems low but that is not dependant on where in the world your visitor comes from so turns out to work very well if you get alot of asian countries traffic.

Their minimum payout level is $25, they pay via Moneybookers or Cheque. They also offer pay per action which are more dollar worthy if you can attract that sort of croud.

V. FastAdvert.com

They have a 468×60 iframe box that you put on your site. This used to cause problems are it delayed site loads times but recently they have improved it and no longer takes so long to load. They approve pretty much any site, and they pay $1 cpm.

You get paid via Cheque when you get $100 USD in your account balance. They are a bit slow getting payment sent as since posting on these forums I have reached payout and it took about 8 weeks for me to get cheque, even though StormPay’s cheque left at the same time and only took 1 week.

There support is really poor.
