[...] Goodbye Auction Ads I first ran across ZacJohnson.com several months ago and have had the site in my feedreader ever since.

[...] I’m not that surprised, nor upset. These are initial stats and this just means I need to do more testing. Setting the category of ads shown to "Movies" will likely pull in the most clicks, but are probably low earning clicks. I will not start tracking and monetizing the program by running a few other categories and see how they perform. I will keep running the program at least until I hit my minimum payment requirements. AuctionAds wasn’t that great the first month I ran them, but the next month after, I was able to rack up $1700+ in commissions. [...]

Hey -

Maybe a dumb questions here, but what are you using to generate that graph from the monthly impression, clicks, revenue table??

Looks like a screen shot of excel on a mac ..

Don't need data, just the tracking tools … I am still looking for spreadsheets that will work for me for this.

Thank in advance if you can share.
