One of the major advantages of the new Performancing Ads network is they allow you to sell your own ads and use them to serve it for free. If you already have some 125×125 buttons sold privately, it’s very easy to add them to Performancing Ads. And it won’t cost you anything because Performancing Ads does not take a cut of your private ad sales. If you are like me and have every single button sold, then you can use Performance Ads to serve the buttons, keep all the money and still be listed in their publisher marketplace.
Being listed in the Performancing Ads marketplace exposes your blog to 1000′s of potential advertisers. If you’re having trouble making private ad sales, signing up with Performancing Ads may just be the ticket. Remember, using performancing Ads does not prevent you from selling the ad space yourself. You can still do that and use Performancing Ads to serve it. Here’s a screen cast on how to book your own private ads into Performancing Ads.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

Won’t be needing it right now but will definitely keep it mind for the future!
Sounds like a good deal for those that have empty ad space in the blog sidebar.
I am joining Performancing now and hope it will create a new revenue stream on my empty sidebar.
Man, everybody is blogging about performance ads these days. This is the 3rd blog that is talking about it!!!
Their affiliate program must really be something…
Maybe it’s just me, but I think you are on the verge of being a bit immoral when you suggest:
The blockquote went wrong, but you know what I mean. I quoted your first paragraph, and commented afterwards. Sorry about the f*ck-up.
It wasn’t me who suggested it. It was Performancing Ads. They clearly stated that you can use their service to book your own ads and they have no problems with it.
Good option when you have great traffic and empty ad spaces on your blog.

I’m not seeing it as like what most see… if a site is not worth advertising then even if you put it in any marketplace it won’t get sold…
Agreed. If you truly have tried hard selling private ads but cannot get any bite, then perhaps you need to improve content of your site before trying again. Looking for a new ad scheme might not always help in that department.
I signed up for this service and it is very awesome! Makes my ads look instantly credible! I tried to serve my own ad and it didn’t quite work. It was a gif w/ 8 frames and they only allowed the 1st frame. That is the only downside I saw. I was also unable to “unschedule” one of my ads once I accidentally scheduled 2 of the same one.
I still love the service though, that’s for sure!
Also, your comment form say URI, where it should say URL. Just thought you might like to know.
URI is the correct term to use

It is a good suggestion regarding advertisements. It is worth considering how to expose your blogs to advertisers. Thanks for sharing such valuable tips!
This is a great service, thanks John,

I signed up this week and I am excited about this program. What ha been people’s experience on it?
thank you. seems to be interesting.
but what a range of their prices – both for publishers and advertisers? couldn’t find this info on their site, and to registrate only to know the prices – is a little bit too much…
so, if you can reveal this, it would be great! thanxx )
These days there are so many ad networks, it’s hard to choose which one to take. Some are better in that niche, some are better in this niche, uhhh…..
This was a wonderful tip.
First 3 days of using PerfAds has been good for me.
So I guess we’ll also be using PerformancingAds until something better and newer comes out, then we’ll all abandon it like the other ad networks. It’s one big cycle.
I wonder if this is better than Google Ad Manager.
NE1 know how to unbook or delete ads? (it would kind of stink if you made your own ad, like John did, and no one could book that spot for 1000 days!!)
I joined the network and someone booked an ad the next day so its looking quite promising. I don’t mind that I only get the 60% cut as I don’t have to do any work
I am thinking of signing up with them. There is a wordpress plugin by UBD which rotates your ads.
