There are quite a few ways to make money online. The two big ones that do actually pay you for what you do are AdSense and PayPerPost.com. As some of you know, I had Adsense on my blog for a while. Someone decided to be a bitch and continuously click the links knowing damn well that my account was going to be booted. I was in the $400-$500 range with Adsense when Google banned my account telling me that too many clicks came from the same IP address, and then a whole crap load of other shit that I didn’t care to read. I removed these banners and then switched over to Adbrite, which I’ve only made like $8 from, so they’re basically useless to me as well.
PayPerPost.com has actually given me everything they said they would. So far I’ve been paid over $40 and still have another chunk coming to me in upcoming weeks. I think it’d be a safer bet to go with PayPerPost.com to be honest. There are more than enough topics to choose from and there are members whom have made around $900 with PayPerPost.com. It’s my goal to get up into that range so that I can pay for a semester at Penn Foster, I’ve been saving every bit of money that PayPerPost.com has sent me.
I’m to a point now where I’m going to recommend that you not use Google ads on personal websites. Google is a bastard when it comes to banning accounts. You have to stay under certain percentages and then there’s a whole series of writes and re-writes in their rules that just make no damn sense. They’ll easily ban accounts for not ‘following rules’ which is understandable but they still make a percentage for every click that someone makes through the advertisers links. They’re honestly just like Freepay, I’m waiting for Google to buy them out too…they already desecrated all over blogger.com when they made that purchase. Any blogger.com/blogspot.com users know that the site has drastically gone downhill since Google got their paws on them. They get paid for every click, every referral sign up, the works. There are alot of sites right now that list Adsense as a complete scam, it’s true!
Stick with PayPerPost.com they’ll pay you when they say they’re going to pay you. There are plenty of opportunities and a mass list of sites for you to poke through when you’re looking for something to blog about. Highly recommended, and probably the ONLY pay-to-blog program that will ever be recommended by me.
i’m still waiting for them to approve my account. i should readd some of my posts that were crossposted to livejournal. then maybe id get paid now.
Krissy: Good Luck hon, I hope that works for you.
