    Monetizing social bookmarking sites

    I'm starting a social bookmarking site based on Drupal, and would appreciate a bit of advice on monetizing. I imagine sites like these get a lot of traffic, so I am thinking about how to best monetize a high traffic site. Adsense came to mind first. Then CPM when there's a boatload of traffic...

    Do-follow links and icons

    I want to create graphic buttons for my site that people can use at forums to link to the site with their screen name, like the graphics we use here in sigs that hold our affiliate referral links. Also, I would like to create tiny graphic icons for the site as a social bookmarking tool like...

    Holiday shopping

    Where do you plan to do most of your holiday shopping? I thought I'd hit the mall for a DVD/VCR combo unit and do the rest online. An observation about eBay: after all the noise about revamping the feedback system, and "efforts" to make sellers more compliant, the Chinese sellers are still...

    Ajax for ads

    I want to be able to run ads with Ajax - have a small footprint at the site and expand with a mouse-over. Do any networks have ads like these, or do you have to have Ajax code in your template? In related news, I read that Google has been testing this.

    Redirecting affiliate links that fool everyone

    Is it possible to create an affiliate link redirect that looks like you are linking directly to the vendor of the offer? For example, let's say I have an affiliate link that's for a vacation brochure, but I don't want to post my raw link from CJ (or whoever) and want something that looks more...

    I need somebody to code custom changes for Pligg, the open source social bookmarking software and to give it a funky skin design. If you're a coder only please reply, and I'll get a designer to do the graphic work. I'm also looking for somebody to give me a Wordpress template with a graphic...

    Canceled campaigns and redirects

    My inbox gets a lot of letters from networks telling me campaigns are ending and the discontinued url will be redirected to a different landing page. Fine, but I'm wondering if the affiliate gets credit for a conversion on the new landing page. I haven't tried this out so kind of wondering.

    WTF Petty theft

    Yesterday I made my usual yard sale run with my GPS as partner and navigator. The model is a Tomtom One XL that I had mounted using a special vent assembly, and I kept the carrying case on the car seat. After I stopped off at a few sales in nice neighborhoods I discovered that somebody had...

    Which networks scrub the hardest?

    A couple of noob questions about PPC: Which ones are the best to use for zip and email submits? I have quite a few accounts, and figure I should divide my traffic between them to lessen the scrubbing. How much better is foreign traffic than US traffic? Legend has it that the foreign...

    Noob Adsense question

    For the past few days I'm seeing page impressions at my site, along with zero clicks. But there is a small amount of change in the earnings column. How can this be? I'm not taking about big money here; yesterday it was 3 cents, but no clicks at all.

    Networks that feature sweepstakes

    I'm looking for networks that feature giveaways and sweepstakes. Most of them run ads for large advertisers like Betty Crocker and Sony. What I'm NOT looking for is the zip submits and the survey sweeps. Got access to plenty of those already.

    Wordpress plugin for interlinking

    I'm looking all day long for a plugin that will create a link bar within a post to other relevant posts. So far I have downloaded about 10 of them, and none of them do what I want or I don't know how to use them. As an example, let's say you have an article about growing tomatoes. Within the...

    ad Tech NY

    Who's going next month, and do you buy the expensive passes or just do the show floor? I will be there with my free pass dangling from my lanyard to pick up some free tee shirts and mouse pads, and do a bit of networking. How 'bout you?

    Dating site software

    I'm considering beginning a niche dating site using a domain I own. Coupla questions: There's many dating site softwares, but which do you recommend? They're on the pricey side, so I wouldn't want to make less than an informed choice. Do you use the free or pay-to-pay model? I favor the free...

    AM during a recession

    This blog has some ideas about where the industry is going, many of which are compatible with stuff I have been thinking. Those of you who have been in AM for years now - care to add to this, and reflect on how economic downturns have changed the business during these phases? Some people are...

    The next big AM thing?

    Let's suppose you knew of a product that was largely unknown, but is an exceptional, something of a "miracle" product and could be the next Acai berry or green tea? There aren't affiliate programs of note for this product, except for some vendors offering 10% of sales. What would you do with...
