Google GlobeWhat?!! It’s true. Many of the biggest and most popular online retailers with fat budgets are not showing up for their own names or valuable in results. Most don’t even know it. How can this be?

All the major engines offer a .com and a number of country-specific engines, like .ca, .co.uk, .com.au, .fr, .de and so on. These are local engines, and often use geo-IP targeting to show the local as the default when a searcher lives outside the United States.

Auction Ads have been in the lime light for sometime since March 2007, Recently MediaWhiz acquired the company fully from Jeremy Schoemaker for an undisclosed fee. Auction Ads is an advertising widget that serves relevant eBay auctions based on tags placed by the publisher.

As a publisher with Auction Ads, you are paid 100% of eBay affiliate fees. Auction Ads had more than 5,000 publisher within a week and have more than 20,000 publishers registered in their network.
auction_ads_logo
After giving a brief introduction about Auction Ads, I think it’s really an idiot prove system to use, simple and effective! New Publishers who are looking forward to make money online can now breath on Auction Ads.

The All new 2.0 Design For Auction Ads
If you were a long supporter with Auction Ads and have seen their makeover through the months from the ads that were with poor resolution, distorted and stretchy looking advertising items to the all new refreshing 2.0 look, which will allow better images shown so that you can attract more clicks on your site, given the staff a few more weeks before everything is up!

auction_ads_web2.0_new_look

Worry no more as you will get double the performance than before!
AuctionAds was very confident to say that they have “doubled the size of our infrastructure and optimized it to ensure near 100% uptime of ad serving“. This acts as an assurances to all of us that the problems we faced previous would be eliminated by their dedicated .

Why should i sign up with Auction Ads?
Many people will think Auction Ads President Patrick Gavin paid me to review them, but all i can say is they would not be looking at me because i am not a big earner with them, Maybe if i am John Chow, i might get few hundred dollars for this review or maybe not?
If my served me well, i remembered giving them a drop when they were having problems with their servers and now i see the prospect of this program coming back with its assurances with Media Whiz which i see as a way to make more money online, don’t tell me this is not what you wanted “make more money“!

Managing my Auction Ads Account
A little run through on how to actually setup your account which would help speed up the amount of time used to further optimize your ads. Its so simple there is no need to use multiple screenshots for elaborations.

Click on “Campaigns” and start to create a campaign to monitor your click results and impressions made. You can have multiple campaigns going on at the same time, there should be a limit but i have yet to create to that amount so i can’t tell you the limits.

After creating your campaign, lets give it a name “Money“. Click on “Get ” to setup your ads. There are 3 columns which you need to fill up to create your very first auction codes.

  • Ad : Place your within this box and to breakup leave a “,” in between every word created.
  • Ad Campaign: You have created “Money” as your campaign, choose it so that you can track the stats.
  • Ad Type: Though after the new implementation with the design, the older design still is around and is still being offered as a choice, why is this so? Let me explain to you later.

Who do i choose? The New or stick to the old ads?
Auction Ads retained the services for the older banners though it brings much distorted picture but the older banners had features to customize compared to the new ones. It really depends on individual pick.

The High and Low of Older Banners

High

  1. You have a wide choice of ads sizes that you can chose to fit your site.
  2. You have the ability to customize your background,descriptions and links colour.
  3. You will be able to blend your ads better on your site.

Low

  1. The Ads are showing poor quality pictures which could affect your earnings, better images are require to pull of a convincing purchase.

The High and Low of New Banners

High

  1. It gives a much attractive and sleek look which could attract more clicks.
  2. There is a cool range of colours to choose for your ads.

Low

  1. There is a limited number of ads style i can choice which is the vertical or horizontal style followed by a maximum of 3 ads shown.

You have setup your first hand and have placed it in your blog, but realised most of your ads are not rotating and also you made a discovery that your ads are always having many bids at $0.01, how do you increase them and set a minimum amount to improve your earnings?

Optimize your Auction Ads!
All these were found on Auction Ads Blog which is broken into parts during their updates, I decided to compile it to look good under one post. Here i go!

New Window Open Function
This feature does not look new but it allows your ads to open in another tab or window .In your own it will look like this ” auctionads_option=”n”; ” . This means your ads will open in another or tab.

Rotate your Automatically in one
Bored and tired of seeing same ads in every pages, then you can use this function which allows your within to rotate by itself. While Keying in your to “Ad ” add “;” in between every . The reflected should be like this

auctionads_ad_kw = “ 1; 2; 3; 4″;

Optimizing auction prices to make more money
This can be trick, it can decrease the number of clicks on one hand but on the other hand it can help you earn more with just 1 single purchase. “minprice:___ and maxprice:___“. The will look like this:

auctionads_ad_kw = “Xbox 360 minprice:50″;” - will generate all relevant items above $50

auctionads_ad_kw = “X box 360 maxprice:50″;” - will generate all relevant items under $50

Using the best way to convert auctions to cash!
Go back to your account under “Url converter“. Add in a ebay item’s url that you would want to promote or let your readers know about how hot that item is. For example,Brand New Apple iPhone 8GB is up for grab at only $728, would you not want to own a iphone now?

Benefits are way above all and you can outdo your current PPC earnings
Since you take 100% affiliate earnings as a publisher, and you will see that PPC clicks are seriously pathetic, maybe a maxmium of $2/day with 1000/day unless your site brings in tons of , otherwise giving Auction Ads a try would not mean any harm at all!

, and Widgets readily available

*Too bad for Bloggers, we don’t have widget readily available for auctions ads, maybe someone would create one one day! Do contact me and i will have you added in this and contact Auction ads, cause they will give T-shirt to the one who creates or widgets for them!

Give AuctionAds a try, its one of the best program available and signup now to start making money online! Do you have something to share, do share with us a tips that you have used before or comments on this program?

  • I’m a bit of a stat head and enjoy trawling through log files and looking at pretty graphs. One statistic that I’m particularly interested in is the number of subscribers different have in different niches.

    FeedBurner offer a great service for managing your feed and provide all sorts of interesting stats. You can also put one of their chicklets on your site to boast share with the world how many subscribers your site has.

    I thought it would be both interesting and fun to create a top 100 (or so) of the with the highest feeds, so spent Saturday morning doing a big trawl around.
