GrabMyAds was launched last year, as I highlighted previously.

From the past months, both NuffNang and Advertlets are quite aggressive in their promotion to attract advertisers and bloggers to expand the internet advertisement market share. For example, NuffNang started exclusive club this month, Advertlets is launching new major ad campaigns targeting Chinese and Malay bloggers.

Just got email from GrabMyAds indicated that they are striking back with more attractive scheme and promotion for bloggers.

1) GrabMyAds offers bloggers 70% ads revenue. On top of that, 5% of the ads revenue will be allocated for events funding. That’s mean GrabMyAds earn only 25%.

2) GrabMyAds is introducing referral program for bloggers to earning extra 5% to 10% of the total earning form the downline.

3) Every new and old registered member will get RM10 sign up bonus. Click the banner on the sidebar to sign up with GrabMyAds to get your RM10.

4) Every registered member will stand a chance on the monthly lucky draw.

5) GrabMyAds also funded a blog aggregator, BlogWink.com which powered by pligg, to help blogger generate more traffic to their blog. Unlike NuffNang’s innit, BlogWink is open to all bloggers.

Was informed by a friend that BlogCharm has been shutdown since 1 January 2008.

This proof that BlogCharm’s Get Paid To Blog concept has failed to attracts enough advertisers and investors to keep the site going.

BlogCharm offer bloggers to make money by inserting text ads on the top thin bar. Bloggers will receive 50% revenues generated from them.

As I remember correctly, I earned US$30 plus from BlogCharm previously and requested for payout on Jan and Sept 2007. However, I was disappointed that BlogCharm did not pay me after several weeks and then months.

In light of the BlogCharm site close down, they want to make sure all users get paid for their blogging efforts. Payments will be made to all BlogCharm bloggers who have earned a minimum of US $10.00 and have made a payment request through the official site.

After 3 days of validate my email with them, finally got paid to PayPal today.

Earning money on the internet is not easy. We’ve seen websites come and go, some sites run for a year or two and then the business folded when they run out of money.

Like I told a friend recently, running any Web 2.0 startups, must be supported by a sound business plan.

While reading some blogs about two local Internet Ads companies on their customer services, no ads, exclusive club and so on, I received email from LinkWorth that payout has been made to my PayPal account.

LinkWorth paid me USD$41.06 for the one and half month of displaying rotating ad links. Another US$28 is pending for payment next month. No bad for a small technology site that I run (not this blog).

No point of complaining this and that.

I don’t want to waste too much time to complain, just spend more time to improve the ranking and site popularity.

If company X don’t give me ads, I just look at company Y. There are hundred online advertising companies out there.

Use Google to search.

If this one doesn’t work, jump next.

I hear someone talk about loyalty. I can tell you that, there is no loyalty toward Internet advertising industry.

I’m loyalty to the money, not company.

WidgetBucks’s motto is Ads suck, ours don’t. I think, WidgetBucks is lagi suck.

Previously, I highlighted that WidgetBucks started to offer CPM ads for international traffic.

According to WidgetBucks, initial CPM rates will be low. My statistics shown that CPM is very very low for international traffic. Furthermore, they don’t pay traffic from Asia, such as Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, China, Egypt, and Romania.

Rates for other countries, such as Taiwan, some parts of the Middle East, some parts of South America and other regions earn under $0.10 CPM.

CPM or Cost-Per-Thousand Impressions is referring to advertising bought on the basis of impression.

In this case, $0.10 CPM / 1000 impressions = $0.0001 per impression

To earn $10 at $0.10 CPM rate, you need 100,000 impression.

Last month, I only managed to get slightly above 10,000 impression combined in various blogs.

Till todate, my earnings and commissions is $25.63, which $25 is from Sign Up bonus.

If I continue using WidgetBucks, when will I reach to the minimum cash out amount of $50?

I don’t know whether to use WidgetBucks or not??
