A Closer Look at PepperjamADS
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.

Good post. I joined PJ last week and I’m finding the results to be pretty good so far.
Reply to this commentPretty 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)
Reply to this commentCTR. More so than others I’ve noticed. I wonder how long it’ll last though?
Reply to this commentThat sounds like a good endorsement.
Of course, if it is good enough for John Chow it is good enough for Not John Chow!
Reply to this comment2x 3x vs Adsense? How is Bidvertiser?
Reply to this commentDon’t know bout others, but I used bidvertiser for a friend of mine and can tell that it was a waste of time for him, while others state bidvertiser is good (maybe I did something wrong, who knows).
Reply to this commentWhen it comes to website monetization methods, speaking in general terms is simply impossible, since each website is different and what works for you will not necessarily work for another person. In the end, it all boils down to playing the trial&error game.

Reply to this commentPapperjam is a fine network - easy to work with, nice control panel, rotate-able/customizable ads, I recommend them. In my opinion, they’re a little short of available programs to promote right now, but I’m sure that will change moving forward (especially if folks like us use and promote them)
If you’re interested in a complete list and review of several affiliate programs, along with some good ad networks and a easy way to sell you own ad space (cut out the middle man, and make 100% of the profit) there’s a complete list and review posted at: http://www.tysblog.com/2008/02/21/a-complete-guide-to-revenue-sources-monetize-your-blog/
In my opinion, the Kontera network is one of the best ad networks, they’re SUPER easy to use, pay well, and generate LOTS of click-throughs.
Keep up the great work John - I learn something new from you everyday!
Reply to this commentLooks interesting, nice review.
I wrote a post on my blog about a new ppc ad network we are looking at making. Feedback would be great.
Reply to this commentWill check it out and let you know as soon as possible.
Reply to this commentLooks great! Any other way to monetize my blog
Reply to this commentLooks pretty interesting.

Looks good. So Pepperjam gonna rock? Does AdSense have any problems with these ad formats?
Reply to this commentPeople still use AdSense?
Reply to this commentMost publishers still either go for Adsense if not that then its AdBrite.
Reply to this commentUmm, Yeah Lol (i still use it)
Reply to this commentYeah, works great as long as you aren’t doing a “make money online” or “blogging about blogging” blog.
Reply to this commentYes, 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.
Reply to this commentI think many people still use adsense to make some money.
Reply to this commentYup. I still do fine with AdSense. Actually now better than ever
Reply to this commentThe review is very short John, and you used your affiliate link… hmmmm, smells fishy
Reply to this commentIt’s over the 200 word minimum limit and what’s the problem with Aff links?
Reply to this commentWell 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!
Reply to this commentYou don’t know if he has that agreement with Pepperjam though so there is no point speculating about it.
Reply to this commentI 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.

Reply to this commentlook good, but actually you don’t need the mess of affiliate program to make money, few good things are enough.
Reply to this commentThis gonna be the new source to try out.Let see what its gonna give us something or not.
Reply to this commentHehe, another cool way of earning a living online!
Reply to this commentanother nice post John
Reply to this commentbetween i signed up for PJ
LOL, now that I think about it, I signed up for PPJ as well.
Reply to this commentI dont know, but pepperjam don´t works at my site
Reply to this commentDuckeldanny - 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
Reply to this commentwow, 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!
Reply to this commentGreat Post John
Pepperjam looks really great.

Reply to this commentLooks very interesting, thanks for the post john.
Reply to this commentI already signed up with pepperJam, but I’m not running any contextual ads. I’ll have to check it out
Reply to this commentI 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
Reply to this commentI 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?
Reply to this commentPepperJamNetwork 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.
Reply to this commentI’m going to look into this!
Reply to this commentI 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.
Reply to this commentMaximizing 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.

Reply to this commentI’ve already signed up for PepperJam and so far I like it a lot. Your review on them is shorter than your usual, John
Reply to this commentPepperjam asked me to highlight their PepperjamADS on this review. I already review them in a previous post: http://www.johnchow.com/pepperjam-launch-next-generation-affiliate-network/
Reply to this commentOkey. We will blog surf…
Reply to this commentMary Ann
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
my bad, John.
Reply to this commentJohn:
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.

Reply to this commentI don’t see much special about this - wouldn’t AdSense be better?
Reply to this commentDepends 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.
Reply to this commentPepperjam definitely has a great user interface and is easy to work with. I recommend checking it out if you haven’t already!
Reply to this commentNice post john really helps a lot.
Reply to this commentI signed up through your link John, now send me some of your traffic and we can both make some money.
Reply to this commentI use pepperjam and I think it’s great so far.
Reply to this commentIt’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.
