Click for charity! AKA Yahoo Publisher Network is the coolest thing ever
Read all the way through to find out how you can help make a donation to charity just for clicking on my ads.
I'm really psyched I got into the beta, as I'm just getting the hang of Google AdWords and AdSense, and I haven't been 100% satisfied with either. I tried out Google AdSense on Krambox Radio, and made $0.46 in a day on my site. That kinda sucked, and I figured it had something to do with the fact Google put ads for VEAL on my radio site. WTF?
I understand why they probably did it. They had high demand for that kind of inventory, and since I had the word "gelato" on my website, they thought it was a good enough mix.
So the same day I put up my AdSense ads, my application to YPN got approved. Booyakasha. The best thing about YPN was the fact I could target my ads as I thought appropriate. In 18 hours, I made $5.96 on my site. OK, so I did have a link in my status message, and I hope I don't get penalized later, but I thought it was cool that I got an effective return, and I had relevant ads on my site.
Today, I've fine-tuned the ads to ones I thought would yield a higher return. Additionally, I started buying keywords on Google to go to my high-yield ads on Yahoo. I wish I could buy keywords on Yahoo for less than a $5/min buy. I don't know why Y does that, although I can make some guesses. But for now, Google will have to take advantage of my long-tail keyword buys.
So as long as I can keep my AdSense buy below my YPN revenue, Krambox Radio will be cash-flow positive.
AND for the next 30 days, any profits I make on Krambox Radio will be donated to Heifer.orgbone of my favorite charities. To make this win-win, even if I lose money, I'll donate the same amount as I lost to Heifer.org, too. That'll teach me to be a better marketer. :) FWIW, my losses per day on Google AdSense are capped, so to get the most money for the charity, we've gotta be cash flow positive!
I'll keep you posted on my progress. Please, click my ads, but don't click my Google keywords. :)
