Make Money Online with The Peel Away Ad
written by John Chow
I’m sure by now many readers have noticed the new Peel Away Ad running at the upper right hand corner of the blog. This has to be one of the coolest ad units yet. It makes the blog look like a paper page and the ad is revealed when you “peel away” the page. The creator of the Peel Away Ad says the ad is non intrusive and super effective because it makes people want to peel the ad to see what’s hiding behind it. I can attest to the effectiveness of the ad. Since putting it up an hour ago, I’ve already received five new sign ups for TTZ Media (currently, the ad’s only advertiser).
How Do I Add Peel Away Ads To My Blog?
The Peel Away Ads script was created by Richard Osterude and Harris Fellman. The script normally sells for $127 but if you buy it right now, you can have it for only $37.00 (ya I know, classic sales page).
The script comes in several flavors and works on any site (not just Wordpress blogs). I’m using the Rotating Peels for the top right corner. There’s also a peel that will let you put ads on any corner and one that will put ads on every corner. There are also some templates with background images so you can create some peel ads. Lastly, there is a bonus “Spinning Popup” generator but I didn’t brother to download it.
Installation of the script is pretty simple. You need to edit to URL to reflect your site, change the banner image and destination URL, then upload to your server and it should work. There are step-by-step video tutorials for those who need extra help.
At only $37, this script is a no brainer. I’ve made more than my money back from it in less than an hour. I expect to see this type of advertising become more common in the future. Because it’s new and fresh, click rates are very high and as result you can charge more for the ad spot. Of course, you can also use the script to promote your own stuff.
Want To Buy a Peel Away Ad?
To launch the new Peel Away Ad, I’ve decided to sell them at a 50% discount. If you order an ad this month, the price is $500 per month and will stay at $500 per month for as long as you renew. Order placed after February will cost $1,000 per month. No more than five ad rotations will run at any one time.
Peel Away Ads required two creatives: one 100×100 pixel image for the teaser and a 500×500 pixel image for the main banner. Imagines can be jpg or gif. If you need help designing a Peel Away Ad, I recommend Banners Mall. They can create a Peel Away Ad for only $75.00 and have it ready in four days.

Yet another space on this blog for monetization. Soon it’ll be hard to find the content
what content
The content that tells you where to place more ads.
Just wanted to throw in that its not adsense safe if the peel covers an adsense block. If/when you install it, make sure it doesn’t cover up any ads.
You can tell google they need a bigger monitor to browse your page. The ad is less obtrusive if you have a widescreen monitor, even if you scroll over, it doesn’t cover up the main content of this page. Shrink the ad by 100 pixels and it’ll be completely outside the body of the site.
It’s probably some CSS or JavaScript issue on my end but the ad automatically peels open just when I’m about to click on the “click here” portion.
I really don’t know,
I get the same thing…you scroll over to it, it reveals the ad and then you click on it to find more/visit the ad….isn’t that how it’s suppose to work?
how to i add the code for peel ad in my blogger site?
You say you a gangsta but you never pop nothin, you say wanksta (john chow) and you need to stop frontin…. Go to the dealership but you never cop nothing
Well the more John makes the more he’s interested therefore, more content should follow
I found the script on a torrent site. $0 for me.
Not cool Chris.
Yeah, that’s nothing to be proud of. This is cheap software that somebody worked hard on that deserves credit… Ripping Adobe Photoshop is rather understandable considering the enormous cost of the CS3 suite but this is a different issue.
yeah…why refuse to pay the small fee when it’s something that will earn you probably well over the cost of the small fee???
Isn’t taking a freely available script and selling it to people just as evil?
Whether it is Microsoft or Jimmy’s Software hut, stealing is stealing.
Especially ugly though given the low price.
Nothing to be proud of.
Obviously I was joking. I’m not that cheap, but I definitely caught your attention.
Lol now that you got called out on it you’re “joking” but good luck convincing anyone that you’re not just lying now.
Bad boy bad boy!! :>
And another way to make more money online :> this is good (especially if all slots get sold hah).
Another way to earn some money.
Haha - just when we thought you couldnt possibly find space for another ad…
I still think theres a few more spaces for ad implementation
I really have gotta say, this is the coolest ad around and I think it’d be really successful to integrate this into your site, if you’re selling private space.
Certainly, I did pull the page and was like “Damn, I’m gona pull that again” and then I was like “Hey, I’m gona click on the ad and see what happens” when though I know exactly what’s going to happen.
When I first loaded the page I just saw a big purple block :p This explains what it is. Not a bad way to make some money, would have been nice if I didn’t see it earlier, then it would be completely unobtrusive. Not a bad deal for those who want to order an add from Johnchow.com, 1K starting next month is a big difference in price.
C’mon John… you know you want to find one for the left side too, so you can earn an extra $2k a month!
Haha that was a good one
I was thinking of using the 4-corner peel for a while.
haha….that might be a bit too busy… but would be evil
How about the center unzip. One ad on each side.
How about 1 BIG splash covering the entire page for 5 seconds or till it’s clicked on so people with ad blockers see it?
maybe visitor will go away if something like that happen.
But maybe good!!
Another way to earn more money.
Might be worth noting that if you do a Google search for wordpress plugins, there are some free peel-away (peel-ear) plugins. I have no clue if they are as better or worse than what Peel Away Ad is offering but just do your homework before you spend even 37 bucks.
They work exactly the same, i’ve been using it for a while now … it’s certainly not new.
I know, I ‘ve seen this thing everywhere. The look is slightly different between the versions. Good to know there are free ones.
It works. I know there is an ad behind there. Still, I want to peel and take a look.
haha…I know eh? it’s just fun to peel it back…
If we put peels everywhere, these pages are going look like a Chinese fortune cookie or a won ton.
Adtoll just now offered this for their network.
Anybody wanna buy an ad from me? Only 20 cents a week!
I never noticed it until now.
Kind of annoying now that I know it’s there though. But, if you scroll down just a tad, it goes away.
Oops, seems the quote didn’t work…
“At only $37, this script is a no brainer. I’ve made more than my money back from it in less than an hour.”
That’s because you got it of us for free!
I remember you using it, what made you stop? Not converting well?
I PURCHASED it and cannot download it!!
GREAT!
Going back to paypal to get a REFUND!!!!
HA HA HA
Too bad it doesn’t work at all in Linux using latest mozilla/flash..
BTW who doesn’t use an ad blocker these days? I mean honestly… everyone and their grandma uses an ad blocker..
I guess the only way to make money is to spam ads at people who dont know better..
I have a peel away ad on my blog…except it’s free from Adtoll
Mine look more sexy!
Aye, you can get the peel away free from Adtoll and they even sell the advertising space for you too!
hmm….good to know…as I don’t have the means to sell my own advertising space yet…
I also lack the time to sell my own ads. Poker, please let us know how well it works out for you. I keep finding hundreds of ways to monetize my little blog, but have only had success with a small few.
Thats good to know. Anyone using it, if so how’s it converting?
I think John has got coolest Peel Off Ad than yours . Yours didn’t work that well. John’s got coolest..peel off
I’ve seen these popping up recently. I found them only annoying at first, now I simply ignore them. I can see people checking it out the first week but after that it will lose its muster.
I dont really mind it, but I can’t see it taking off that much. Kind of seems similar to those adcamo ads that came out recently
