Quiet Monetization
Fri, Dec 28, 2007
Shhhhhh…..
We are testing a brand new monetization method here at Web2Center.com and I bet you can’t even tell. Yes, we have four banners pointing to our partners but that is not new.
No, this slick new monetization tool allows you to incorporate an affiliate revenue stream seamlessly into any blog (or static html site - if you are still stuck there… eeeek!).
All you have to do is a bit of configuration and then plop a bit of code into your header and…voila!…you have a quiet, stealthy monetization method that is completely unobtrusive and, in my opinion, adds value to a certain aspect (or function) on your site.
So, why all the secrecy?
Well the TOS (terms of service) for this monetization tool make you swear not to point directly to it so that you do not force artificial actions (and no, I am not talking about Adsense or Kontera–come on, do you think I am that far behind?!).
Treasure Hunt or… Not
Rather than me telling you directly about it, I propose a little treasure hunt.
Just browse around a bit on this page (hint: or any page on our blog) and try to find this new feature. Interact just a little and you will find it. Also, the “tool” is brand new so the level of relevance is not as high as it will be soon.
If you get frustrated, or don’t like treasure hunts… here’s a couple of links for direct explanation from the creators of the service.
Publishers (bloggers) learn more here.
Advertisers (merchants) learn more here.
If you read our post titled “Don’t Forget Your Niche“, you will appreciate the power of this tool. Social media monetization is about putting revenue systems in place that are not like roadblocks or slaps in the face to your visitors and subscribers.
If you find something that can quietly monetize an aspect of your site without increasing the advertising “volume” then you have a winner.
Let us know if you have found other methods that are quitly monetizing your blog and bringing steady revenue.
