AuctionAds Earns BIG in June
Time again for the latest installment of AuctionAd’s monthly performance report. During May I was able to send over 3 MILLION impressions to AuctionAds $216.27 in commissions. Unfortunately the average earnings per click was below .01 per click. I said I would continue to run the offer through June to see if numbers improve, since the new eBay commissions were coming into play. I am happy to say I sent over 10 MILLION ad impressions to AuctionAds during June and was able to earn a sweet $1,691.42! The best part is I went from earning less than a penny per click in May to over .03 per click in June!
I look forward to seeing how July turns out. With the summer slowness, I might see a drop in overall traffic (ad impressions), but what will continually matter most is the earnings per click. AuctionAds has been a nice addition to my revenue stream, and I was able to implement the ads so I didn’t have to actually remove any other offers! How sweet is that!? Monetize, monetize, monetize!
Lastly, I will try and meet up with Jeremy Schoemaker at Affiliate Summit and see if I can get any advice on improving my already awesome numbers. As stated on his blog a few weeks ago, they are paying around $500k a month in commissions. I would imagine the vast majority of affiliates on AuctionAds are earning quite minimal amounts, especially with the free $5 signup incentive offered by so many networks and forums. While $500k is a decent amount of commissions to pay out per month, I would still like to consider myself one of the higher earners on the network. It would be interesting to see the type of sites that are earning $10k+ a month with AuctionAds, based on their traffic, earnings per click and what the high targeting keywords are. I think it would be really cool if AuctionAds added a top performers list for each month, displaying their top 10 earners. No need to show the site urls/names… just the amounts. This way no secrets are lost… just some pure motivation for existing affiliates! 🙂
