Great list there. Very useful, as I’m planning on dropping Adsense from my blog very soon.
At the minute, I’m going to be using Clickbank and Amazon. I think I’ll check out a few of your other options first though.
August 14th, 2007 at 9:32 pm
Michael,
I’d be interested in hearing down the road how the new programs work for you. Clickbank is nice because there are so many different producst available, and I think a lot of purchasers prefer downloadable products. Obviously Amazon also has tons of products. While I was researching for this list I was impressed with several of the plugins related to Amazon, especially Last Amazon Review Plugin. Haven’t used it yet, but it looks good.
Microscopic Earthling,
Thanks for reading!
August 14th, 2007 at 9:41 pm
I like how you used the icons with the post, and the blog itself looks really cool!
These are some great links, and no matter who you are, you can use at least 2-3 of them. Good post.
August 15th, 2007 at 10:29 am
Nice list.
Will you consider add WP Text Ads to the list?
I’m the developer of WP Text Ads, a free WordPress plugin that lets you sell text link ads directly to advertisers. This way, you pay no commissions and get paid instantly.
With WP Text Ads, you can sell text link ads for the home page, blog-wide and per-post. These options help advertisers save money.
Version 1.2 has just been released and it comes with an API.
August 15th, 2007 at 1:37 pm
This is very helpful. Thanks, I totally forgot about Clickbank.
August 15th, 2007 at 1:40 pm
nice list you have there. good job. i’ve signed for a few to give them a try
August 15th, 2007 at 9:04 pm
Cooliojones, Awwwpuppawww, and Hugo,
Thanks for visiting and for your positive feedback.
Alex,
WP Text Ads looks like it would be a good addition to the list. I’ll add it sometime in the next few days (probably will be making a few other additions as well). Thanks for the resource.
August 16th, 2007 at 5:04 am
[…] Simply having the subscription option on the sidebar may not be enough. You can effectively gain more subscribers by including a brief request for subscriptions at the beginning or the end of your posts. WordPress users can do this by editing the single.php file. You can see an example of this at my blog. […]
August 16th, 2007 at 7:29 pm
I don’t know about others but Adster doesn’t pay at all. They haven’t paid 5 checks (was I fool to wait that long?). Now I have stopped using them.
They don’t reply my emails too.

I think it is very dangerous to monetize a Website or Blogsite with the links sale, because it is against the Google´s regulation. The site that sell links can be punished.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:22 pm
Jackson,
It’s definitely a risk, but there are plenty of websites currently doing it that have not been punished by Google. Of course, that doesn’t mean it will never happen. Fortunately there are other ways to make money with your website.
August 23rd, 2007 at 8:32 am
Sweet list, I will have to add this to a post I have on monetization…Great job Cathy. Do you use all 101 on the Vandelay blog?
August 23rd, 2007 at 5:01 pm
Antonius,
No, I think I only use 2 of these right now. I’d like to keep the blog ad-free until it has a larger audience. Even then, I don’t plan on using a lot of ads since this site is primarily intended to promote my website design services.

By the way, TLA has just updated their referral links. So it might be a good idea to update yours.

Just discovered a complete list of all marked down products at Amazon, sorted by category
and % off, ranging from 50% off to 90% off (thanks Sonja for the effort).
Actually I never thought Amazon would have articles with 90% off, but only in the category
Electronics there are more than 3000 of them - look for yourself, the list is on
Bargain Hunter (which is a blog of a woman who specializes in finding good deals at
Amazon, like Britain’s “Jeanie”).
