... is exactly the last thing on this advertising company's mind.
You see, I have started selling advertisements on my webpage through Project Wonderful. This company has a slightly different take on how webpage advertising should function, as explained by the "advertising reinvented" section of their webpage:
The problem with online advertising today is that it's mostly terrible. Click fraud is rampant and advertisers aren't sure they're getting value for their advertising dollar.
Project Wonderful changes that by reinventing advertising, replacing CPC (cost per click) with CPD (cost per day). Advertising is sold on the basis of time instead of clicks, which eliminates click fraud entirely, and stops an estimated $800 million in fraud dead in its tracks.
Your advertisers can trust that they won't be ripped off. More value for their advertising dollar means more customer satisfaction, and more profits for you.
A little different, I will certainly grant, and since it makes money based off days displayed and not clicks, it may work a little better for a low-traffic weblog like mine. And since Google and I went our separate ways over their hypocritical use and application of their AdSense system, I figured I needed another advertising system to pick up the slack. And, by "slack", I mean "making-me-basically-no-money". Hopefully Project Wonderful will fare a little better.
And, while it is trying to make a little money for me, I can make use of the free advertising available on it for the People of the Gun webpage. The button-ad I am using at the moment is at the right, and, at the time of this post, it is currently being shown on 26 webpage, has been displayed to almost 2000 unique viewers, and has been clicked on almost a hundred times. Not bad, for not having spent any money to make it happen. When I get off my lazy arse, I might get around to making a button for this weblog as well...
The Amazon affiliate bars are still around on the pages, and any links to Amazon itself will be laden with my unique reference ID so I might make a little money off whatever you decide to purchase (at no cost to you, which is the great part of Amazon). Also, I will still be doing sponsored posts, assuming Smorty or PayPerPost ever decides to put up another opportunity that I could write about without sounding completely fake. Hey, I may be willing to sell webspace for chumpchange, but I will be darned if it looks like gosse.
As always, unless otherwise indicated, no support, approval, or advocacy is intended or implied by any of the advertisements being posted on this weblog... They are simply here to try and help my weblog make a little money, and, at the very least, pay for the hosting space it occupies. Trust me, if I want you to know I support something, I will make it darned clear.
