A Closer Look at PepperjamADS

Profit from binary options

Pepperjam Network launched on January 15 to a lot of fanfare. Pepperjam network is a next generation affiliate marketing network that includes a number of advanced tools that allow Web site owners to monetize their Web traffic. One of those tools is the PepperjamADS and Kris Jones (Pepperjam founder and CEO) ordered this review to show it off.

What Is PepperjamADS?

PepperjamADS is an affiliate marketing widget from Pepperjam Network that you can use to serve customized contextual ads from one or multiple Pepperjam Network advertisers at the same time. The ad units come in various shapes and sizes. Here’s a sample of the 468×60 unit.

The really nice thing about PepperjamADS is you can mix and mash ads from any of the Pepperjam Network merchant partners. For instance, you can create a make money widget by selecting various ads from multiple webmaster merchants, like SEOmoz or Text Link Ads. At the other end, you can create a specific widget with ads from just one merchant.

The thing that really separates pepperjamADS technology from anything else is that you get to choose the ads you want in the widget. All the other affiliate network allow you to select a specific banner or specific text link for only one merchant. Unless you have banner ad software running, you are limited to promoting one specific merchant per banner. To see how easy it is to install and run PepperjamADS on your site, Pepperjam Network created this video.

It's taking me forever to get in touch with one of the vendors on pepperjam that i'm trying to promote. I got 200+ clicks within a day on a minimal budget, and I KNOW somebody out of the 200+ bought the product...trust me, I KNOW...and nothing. The number of clicks showed up, but 0.00 commissions. The customer service there is kinda bad if you ask me, seems like they really don't care as long as you market their products...don't know about anybody else's experiences, but its not been so good for me and i've only been apart of the network for 2 days.

I use pepperjam and I think it's great so far.

I signed up through your link John, now send me some of your traffic and we can both make some money. :)

Nice post john really helps a lot.

Pepperjam definitely has a great user interface and is easy to work with. I recommend checking it out if you haven't already!

I don't see much special about this - wouldn't AdSense be better?

Depends on your viewpoint. If you see short term small gains then ofcourse ppj is better but if you want to see long term gains then ofcourse adsense is better! I mean you can prolly earn 3x the normal amount with PPJ anyways in comparison to adsense. Thing is people know its adsense and that stops em from clikcing your advertisements. While if its new people will click then. Besides not as many rules with PPJ in comparison to adsense.

John:
I was wondering if you can write about the different advertising and marketing tools you are using. My friends and I are somehow dip in the business world, and we are starting out in our blog. We are starters.

We have friends from the University who are still learning the blog world. Most of them are in the business courses too.

So my blog will be focusing on business and investments. The things here the blog is quite new to our group. Hopefully you don't think we are living under the rocks, but I think with this innovation you are a way way ahead of our time.

I've already signed up for PepperJam and so far I like it a lot. Your review on them is shorter than your usual, John :???:

Pepperjam asked me to highlight their PepperjamADS on this review. I already review them in a previous post: http://www.johnchow.com/pepperjam-launch-next-gene...

Okey. We will blog surf...
Mary Ann :smile:

Oh wow, it's official then... my new "day job" (that has me waking up at 4:00am every morning) has officially fried my brain! I don't know how I missed that :oops: my bad, John.

I don't know man, I'm still using Adsense and it's still paying out a decent amount for me at http://ww2db.com ; and it's growing, too.

Maximizing results is the name of the game and trying different website monetization methods on for size every once in a while never hurts, since you never know what will end up working best for you.

I'm going to look into this!

PepperJamNetwork is pretty good, it has some nice lead offers too such as ones at $30 per lead and some a little lower. However it seems like a great network and one that can gradually improve as it gets more experience under its belt as an affiliate marketing company.

I gave them a go as well and everything is looking good so far. I put the widget under all of my posts. Hey John , Will you be using it on the blog?

I just figured out there are many offers which are really paying high comparing with other programs. It looks nice and the design is awesome tooo

I already signed up with pepperJam, but I'm not running any contextual ads. I'll have to check it out

Looks very interesting, thanks for the post john.

Great Post John :) Pepperjam looks really great. :razz:

I dont know, but pepperjam don´t works at my site

Duckeldanny - can you e-mail robyn @ pepperjammanagement.com and explain the problem you are having with displaying pepperjamADS on your Web site - she will expedite your problem to our tech team.

It's just a guess, but I'm thinking you might be using an old version of WordPress.

Everyone else - thanks for your very positive comments and thanks to John Chow for his review.

Thanks!

Kris

wow, didnt know the PPJ network guys were so keen on follow up that they even comment on JC's blog! Now thats what I call marketing and customer care! Going out of your way to help a blogger/publisher. Cant wait to start my income with this one!

another nice post John
between i signed up for PJ :wink:

LOL, now that I think about it, I signed up for PPJ as well.

Hehe, another cool way of earning a living online!

This gonna be the new source to try out.Let see what its gonna give us something or not.

look good, but actually you don't need the mess of affiliate program to make money, few good things are enough.

The review is very short John, and you used your affiliate link... hmmmm, smells fishy

It's over the 200 word minimum limit and what's the problem with Aff links?

Well if it is a payed review it would be really bad of him to use a affiliate link since they already payed for the review, the members they gain from this review should be theirs for free then, shouldn't they? If John uses a affiliate link atop of that they have to pay even more for it!

You don't know if he has that agreement with Pepperjam though so there is no point speculating about it.

I don't think that it's a paid review through ReviewMe since they are usually written by Michael, not John, so that using affiliate links is fine in this case.

Looks good. So Pepperjam gonna rock? Does AdSense have any problems with these ad formats? :mrgreen:

People still use AdSense? :twisted:

Most publishers still either go for Adsense if not that then its AdBrite.

Umm, Yeah Lol (i still use it)

Yeah, works great as long as you aren't doing a "make money online" or "blogging about blogging" blog.

Yes, AdSense works if you have right niche and it doesn't if you have a "make money online" blog (like this blog of mine). I'm happy with AdSense on some other blogs. They earns $10-20/day from AdSense. :twisted:

I think many people still use adsense to make some money.

Yup. I still do fine with AdSense. Actually now better than ever :)

BTW, I'm giving away 3,000 Entrecard credits :mrgreen:

Looks great! Any other way to monetize my blog :mrgreen:

Looks pretty interesting.

Good post. I joined PJ last week and I'm finding the results to be pretty good so far.

Pretty good as in CTR or conversions ? i have seen their ads on several other blogs, but was never really bothered to dig into that deeper (said this I didn't knew even that it was affiliate)

CTR. More so than others I've noticed. I wonder how long it'll last though?

That sounds like a good endorsement.

Of course, if it is good enough for John Chow it is good enough for Not John Chow!

2x 3x vs Adsense? How is Bidvertiser?
