The popular blogging community Performancing.com has started a new ad network called Performancing Ads. What is unique about Performancing ads is that it is a marketplace for 125 x 125 ads only. The 125 x 125 ad placement has becoming extremely popular with blogs like TechCrunch, JohnChow.com and other large blogs. Almost all blogs now have a 125 x 125 ad placement and if they don’t there is probably room for one.
How it Works
The first thing you want to do is sign up for Performancing Ads. After you are all signed up you can go ahead and add you blog. Performancing Ads work by listing your blog on the marketplace where advertisers can browse the inventory and choose blogs that match what they are trying to promote. For the ads to be displayed on your blog you just paste a small code on your blog and once ads are booked they are automatically displayed. Ads are sold on a 1 week basis and you are able to set your own rates. You get a 60 / 40 spit of the profit (via Paypal).
The Publisher Exchange Program
Performancing Ads publisher exchange program gives a nice perk to publishers by giving them credits whenever their ads are sold. Credits then can be redeemed for free ad space on similar sites. It’s a good way to give exposure to everyone, even small blogs.
The Referral Program
Performancing Ads has a very nice referral program. You will earn $10 for every person you refer. Not only that you will earn 5% of any ads sales generated by the new referral for life! That’s right for LIFE! You can definitely see the potential here in making easy passive income.
The Verdict
I think that Performancing Ads is going to do great. Just look at the blogs you visit on a daily basis, how many of them have 125 x 125 ads? Selling ads yourself can be time consuming and frustrating at times so it is nice for someone to do it for you. Performancing Ads is going to be great for smaller blogs and I will be implementing them on this blog very soon!
