The other implention is located on pixeltrafficwatcher.com. This is a more traditional way to use their code. It too performs fairly well. If I had it to do over again, I’d place these ads in a more prominent location so all visitors would have a chance to see them and click them.

Chitika eMiniMalls: Money in the bank January 23, 2006

The next time you are looking to place a banner ad on your site, you may want to first consider using a Chitika eMiniMall banner. It’s run with a bit of javascript and comes in enough different sizes that there will most likely be one to fit the space you are loking to fill. One of the big selling points for me is the fact that you can place several keywords in the code and the script will randomly choose a product from the keywords you’ve selected. Chitika offers a list of keywords that will surely fit most any site’s content and their pay-per-click value is right up there with the best of ‘em.
To see a sample of what the eMiniMall look like, check out geeeek.com where I’m using the 468×60 version with the following keywords: “digital cameras”, “stereo”, “sony playstation”, “dell laptop”
The business of making money January 10, 2006

Assuming you already have sites on the internet, it’s more than likely you are trying to make some sort of income from them. You may want to make a career out of it or you may just want some beer money. Either way, getting started can be the hardest part. Where to go? What to do? How do you promote without going broke doing it?
I received a copy of the book, Money for Content and your Clicks for Free. I’ve not yet finished the book, but I’m telling you, if you are looking to make any sort of income and would like a little bit of a roadmap, this book is definitely a place to start. It’s written by JD Frazer, the same guy who writes userfriendly.org. It’s not “laugh out loud” funny, but, it is written with a humorous slant which makes it a pretty easy read. It’s not like sitting and reading a text book.
Another Blog? What to do?!? January 5, 2006

When my buddy asked if I was interested in having a wordpress.com blog, at first I told him no. I already have two blogs and one of them gets ignored pretty regularly. If I didn’t have something at least seamingly interesting to write about, why even start. It would just sit on my list of things to “get around to” and would be more of a burden than anything else.
“What to do with another blog?” was the question that ran through my head for a couple days. Then, sitting at work it hit me. I’ll explain in a sec. First, some backstory…
For those of you who don’t know me, I recently got moved back to the marketing side of our business after being on the tech side for quite a while. My job is to find ways to drive traffic to sites through the creation of content portals. The portals need to generate repeat traffic by having solid content that is updated on a regular basis. I have a copywriter who is writing our own content which we posting and syndicating. I’m also looking in to every sort of free, but relavent, links I can get from other sites… Plus, pretty much any other sort of “technical” marketing angle I can come up with… thus the answer to the main question… “I’ll blog about ways to market web sites for newcomers.”
So welcome. I hope I’m able to help you reach your marketing goals! Or, at least push you in the right direction…
