I have been trying for a while to get things going with the click ads on my blog but I just have not managed to get the right mix. Some add links in my posts that I find annoying, distracting and just plain unlikeable. Others have nothing to do with my post (even though they are supposed to) and still others do not have anything to do with the post that is up currently, but with some other post instead. Most of the time things look right and by and large they do a good job matching, but I am here often enough that I notice when they do not.
Lately, I have been trying to expand my ability to make a little cash so I am looking into something called eClickZ. They have an affiliate program that lets you do the off to the side ads that go along with your topic but they have more than just that. They also let you do a search box on your page and you get paid for letting them put ads on the search results page. Having this extra option means I have one more option in what can be a very difficult quest to find profit in those ads.
And when (or if) you are interested in analyzing how well these tools are working for you on your web site, they offer an easy to use report. If this sounds interesting to you and your ready to try something new with your blog and maybe make some extra money at the same time, click here for more information and signup form for eClickZ Affiliate Program.
For those of you who are more technically minded than I am, I should tell you that they also have something called an XML search feed available that you can embed.
