AdSense Alternative Network : Bidvertiser
[3:28 AM | Comments ]

Bidvertiser is Pay Per Click network and good AdSense alternative. It has some feaures that make it good choice.

Ad Sizes. Standard ad sizes are present and additionally, you can create custom sized ads.

Payments. Payments are made via Check and PayPal. If you can not wait for $100 payout limit of AdSense, BidVertiser is the way to go as you get paid at $10.

Adding New Website. Once you register, adding new blog/website is a piece of cake. Give title, URL, Language, Category and hit submit. Site is first reviewed by their team.

BidVertsier for Feeds: Currently in Public Beta, this allows you to integrate BidVertsier ads into your feeds. You have to provide your feed url (original one, like http://my-site.com/feed). They give you a new BidVertiser URL that you can enter in FeedBurner to start showing their ads.
Getting ad code is a piece of cake. Once your site gets approved, you have to choose a template. and get the code. Place the code on your site and you are done. Its not much different from AdSense.

Referral Program. Their referral program is very simple.
  • When a user signs as an advertiser and first spends $10, we'll credit your account with $5. When that same advertiser spends $50, you will be credited with an additional $20.
  • When a user signs as a publisher and first earns $10, we'll credit your account with $10. When that same publisher earns $50, you will be credited with an additional $40.
Why use BidVertsier?
  1. If you do not want to wait long to get paid. $10 is pretty easy to achieve.
  2. If you want to receive money via PayPal.
The paying rates are decent and we recommend joining it. Sign up for BidVertiser, as PUBLISHER or ADVERTISER

Related Posts with Thumbnails for Blogger - New Version by BloggerWidgets
[12:46 AM | Comments ]

Aneesh of Blogger Widgets has developed a new "Related Posts" script for Blogger which displays thumbnails of images in addition to linked post titles:



In appearance, this Blogger "add-on" is similar to the LinkWithin script. Each section is highlighted in a complementary colour when the mouse hovers over it, and the entire section is clickable, leading to the URL of the "related post" displayed.

Unlike the LinkWithin script, this add-on links directly to the post page it references, and relies on Blogger's label feeds to display posts of true relevance to the post on which it appears.

Aneesh's script seems relatively easy to install. Furthermore, almost all aspects of this add-on may be customized including the style (by editing the CSS), the number of related posts to be displayed and the title of the section in which it is contained.

The image thumbnails displayed for each related post are generated from the thumbnail associated with the relevant post page. Therefore, only images which you have uploaded to each blog post (rather than referencing by URL) will be displayed. In instances where no image appears in the related post, a generic "No-Image" replacement will be be displayed instead.

Overall, I am very impressed by Aneesh's related posts script - it is neat, easily customizable and as the JavaScript is hosted by Google Code this loads very quickly..

Be sure to visit this page on the Blogger Widgets site for full instructions of installation and customization methods to add this useful script to your own Blogger blogs.
