JuicyAds is a relatively new advertising service that launched in 2006. While our service may be new, we have been selling adult-related advertising since 2002, that's a whole lot longer than many of our competitors.

Images speak louder than words. Ask anyone who runs a website and they'll tell you that images get clicked more than text. So why do so many advertising services insist on selling text ads? Because its cheaper for them to host them, and less clicks makes you less money. We focus mainly on image ads because they produce results and that makes both publisher and advertiser happy.

What sets JuicyAds apart from the rest is our personal service. We provide help to publishers and advertisers everyday, answering questions, helping people setup ads, giving advice for pricing and placement of ads. If you need help, just ask.

JuicyAds is operated by its owners, people who care about out business. We use JuicyAds on our own websites, because its easy and it works. Comparing us to other ad services is like comparing apples to oranges. They focus on quantity, we focus on quality.

PassionDuo Blue, Red & Green Templates

noreply@blogger.com (Alyboy) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 06:59:00 +0000

The Passion Duo template has been originally designed by Daily Blog Tips and converted to blogger by eBlog Templates, who has recently pissed me off by asking its users to register. But I managed to get all these templates from other sites, I am pretty sure hes gonna loose some users with his latest move.

The PassionDuo template is available in three different colors, Blue, Red and Green, apart from that its a very neat template with equal amount of partitions between every segment.

Now lets dissect the blog template bit by bit, starting off with the big bold header title, on the top left with the description under it, which has place only for one short sentence. The right holds enough space for a leader board ad, this position is suppose to be a very good converter actually.

Under that is the navigational menu that runs in a strip under the header of the blog, which has a css hover assigned to it. On the far right of this template there is a RSS feed button. Theres another leader board space allocated under the header and above the blogs main column. The sidebar hosts ads on the top left, now this blog is for serious money makers.

I really recommend you cut off the sidebar ads, as the blog really look like it has more ads than content. It comes filled up with different widgets the search bar is very neatly done as well, its just a little box with instructions in it.

The headline of the post is striking to say the least, extra large as compared to the size of the post font. The post author, labels and comments all find its place under the headline which leaves the end of the post empty. This is what gives the blog an extra feel of neatness. You can download all the three colors from below.

How to Make Money From Your Blog

noreply@blogger.com (Alyboy) — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 07:51:00 +0000

Making a profitable blog is no mean task. If I say, less than ten percent of aspiring professional bloggers manage to earn enough to quit their day job, then some of my friends may not read this further. But you can be among those ten percent successful bloggers who are getting inflated payouts consistently. What it takes to milk your blog effectively and how to do it? Well, it is not a secret recipe but it is not a cakewalk either. Let's face it, earning good income from your blog takes hard work and time. I am talking about the case in which you are starting from scratch with no prior experience of professional blogging. Let's knit a chain of thought. How can you earn money from your blog? When loads of traffic comes to it and you build decent core audience of your blog. How can it happen? When you give something useful to your readers. So in a nutshell, it is the content of your blog that matters in the long run.

Once you have realized that no matter what monetization option you try, unless you don't provide the real content, you are a dead duck. Now let us explore the various monetization options available to a professional blogger.

Options for Blog Monetization

1. Advertising
2. Affiliate System
3. Sponsored Ads
4. Selling your own products
5. Donations

Advertising

The most common method that first comes in mind to monetize the blog is advertising. There are plenty of good advertising networks with different types of implementations and commission structure. Adsense and YPN are the two most widely used advertising programs used by bloggers. Both programs serve contextual ads on pay per click (CPC) and pay per thousand impressions (CPM) basis. These programs are very popular as they serve highly targeted ads, which are relevant to the site content, and visitors find these ads useful for them. Other CPC advertising programs like Chitika eMiniMalls are also available to experiment on your blog. Several text ads programs are also good options for medium to high traffic blogs. These ads are sold for fixed amount on per month basis and are good option to try. Popular Text Ads programs are Text Link Ads, BidVertiser and AdBrite.

Affiliate System

If your chosen niche is narrow and concentrates hard on specialized domain, there are good chances to earn decent money from affiliate system. Amazon, Commission Junction and LinkShare are the three most trusted and highly rated affiliate programs. They have huge inventory of products and services to choose from, which you can promote or sell on your blog.

Selling Your Own Products

I have seen all top bloggers using this technique very effectively to grab direct advertisements. You can create customized blog themes and can sell them aggressively on your blog. A classic example is Blogging Experiment, which generates decent income by selling blog theme. You can also offer your other services like content creation to create one more stream of income.

Donations

Do not hesitate to put a donation link on your blog. But keep one thing in mind. Your blog must provide real meaty content and other useful resources before you ask for donation from your visitors. A visitor will only donate if he thinks that you are contributing to society in some way. Make your blog a place where your visitors get their answers.

Conclusion

Once you decide to monetize your blog, do it aggressively. Make sure you do not flood your posts with Ads. It's going to make your visitors run away to never return back. Provide high quality content consistently and use all the available options at your disposal.
