Tips For Project Wonderful Publishers

Since many are already joining Project Wonderful, I’ve decided to give some tips for publishers to attract more advertisers on their ad box.

1. Ad format. I suggest you choose the 125×125 ad format. This ad format is so popular now, many advertisers are using it on their ad campaigns.

2. Ad placement. As much as possible, put your ad boxes above the fold. Advertisers want the most from your ad boxes. They want more exposure. Having your ad boxes above the fold is a plus factor.

3. Keyword tags. Tag as many keywords as you can think of relevant to your page when setting up the ad box so that advertisers can easily find your page when they are searching by tag.

4. Description. Write a good description of your site. Give advertisers some tips on how they could get more from advertising on your ad box.

5. Minimum bid. This all depends on how you value your site. But I suggest to make it lower than what you are expecting. When I started, I set the minimum bid to $1, and no one is bidding. When I set it to $0.20, advertisers come. When they got the experience of what your ad boxes could give to their site, they will try to defend their spot as much as possible when someone tries to outbid them, thus increasing the price. I think, a minimum bid of $0.10 is fair enough. But you can go lower if you want to.

6. Look for advertisers with high budget. Check out Entrecard or other sites where advertising costs $2 or more. You can send message to these advertisers via Project Wonderful’s messaging system. Or if they have Entrecard too, you can drop your Entrecard and send a message to them. Just be polite and tell them that you’re new to Project Wonderful, they might want to check your blog and see if they could advertise on it. If your traffic is high and the minimum bid is still low, I’m sure they will bid.

7. Use Auto-approve all ads feature. Just make sure that you select the Do not accept any ads rated NSFW if you don’t want adult sites advertising on your blog. Time is gold, and you are losing money if there’s a delay on approving the ads, so, let Project Wonderful automatically approve the ads for you. 🙂

8. Lastly, be patient. My ad box on this blog took 2 days to get filled up. My ad box on my text messages blog took more than 5 days before all spots were taken. So, just wait for your time. Advertisers will come if you follow the first 7 tips I mentioned above.

That’s all. Have a wonderful day!

  1. bossing salamat sa TIps! Dapat may referral link ang projectwonderful para marami ka downline… hehe, ask ko pla pano ka nagkaron ng projectwonderful ads sa textmate mo, nag apply ka ng new account? or may option dun na add new site? salamat..

  2. I think that was my mistake. I set my ad boxes to Auto approve those that I have approved before. It’s quite troublesome. Even the email notification is bugging me. Of course I can’t edit the boxes anymore because there are ongoing bids. However I added those people who advertise on my site frequently as buddies para hindi na hassle ang pag-approve. And I guess they’d also feel that I appreciate their interest to advertise in my site.

    I also wish there is a referral program in Project Wonderful. Tutal they get 25% naman of the profits e so why not try to get more users, di ba?

    I’m almost near to earning my first dollar in Project Wonderful. From $0 minimum bid, makakaisang dolyar na ako. AHEHEHEHE

  3. @Glenn… may option dun na create nyo ad box, tapos pwede ka magsubmit ng bagong site. akala ko nga, irereview pa ulit nila, pero hindi na. tuloy tuloy na kaagad, pwede mo na ilagay yung code.

  4. Ahhh… Yun pala yun. 🙂

    Salamat!

  11. @sylverblade… pwede mo iedit yung bid range dun sa ad box settings kapag wala pang nagbibid dun sa ad boxes mo.

  12. @Shannon… Ako rin dati hindi naapprove kahit medyo marami narin naman yung posts ko. Sinubmit ko lang uli tapos after nun eh naapprove na. 😀

  13. ahh,ok. Thanks guys! happy valentines!

  14. ahh darn… ulit haha ty po

  15. May nagbid na rin sa wakas. hehe! salamat ulit. ok yung tips mo!

  16. Lowering your ads prices to like below 0.05 will really get advertisers to your site. hehe. I started with 0.10 with 4 ad spaces on my gaming site but got only 1 space filled for half a day. When I changed the price to 0.03, advertisers came not too long after. Though the price is too low but hey, it’s better than nothing… for now. hehe. Good luck guys!

  17. thanks for this tips 🙂

    mahina PW sakin wala masyado advertise 🙂

  18. What is the minimum payout of project wonderful?

  19. Has anyone tried Etology yet? I’ve been using this service for a few months now and so far I’m quite happy with the results. Project Wonderful is nice, but I wasn’t happy with my overall earnings. Therefore, I started searching for something better and eventually found Etology. One of the nice things about Etology is that you can set your own prices, which in the long run equals higher earnings. You can check out this review that I wrote for more info.

  20. thanks for this! 🙂 i think i’ll try it out now.

  21. I have been using project wonderful at http://www.wizeguyztees.com/blog and I like it allot, I turn around and use the money to advertise my site as well. I like it much more than adsense.

  22. This helps, thanks. I just signed up for Project Wonderful, so I’m curious to see how this compares with Adsense.
