Make Money Online with The Ultimate Footer Ad

I’m sure by now, you’ve noticed I’ve been testing a new footer ad script to help increase my newsletter subscription. I’ve received a lot of questions about it but didn’t want to answer until I had a few days of data to show.

The Ultimate Footer Ad was created by Graham Cox and despite what some people think, it’s not a WordPress plugin – it can work on any site. The main purpose of the footer ad is to help increase newsletter sign ups. However, the program can be used to display any type of advertising. The ad slides up from the bottom of your site and into view after a predetermined time that you set. The ad works really well because it’s almost impossible to not notice it.

While the Ultimate Footer Ad can be viewed as somewhat intrusive, it’s no where near as intrusive as the Aweber lightbox hover sign up form that takes over the entire screen. Bloggers who don’t want to run the hover box because of its intrusive nature will find the Ultimate Footer Ad to be just right. Best of all, sign up is almost as good as the lightbox.

You’ve heard me talk about the importance of building a mailing list. I have made over $4,000 in one day with my list. Building my newsletter list is the number one thing I work on and anything that can help me increase sign ups is going to get reviewed and tested.

My Results with The Ultimate Footer Ad

The Ultimate Footer Ad newsletter sign up rate is running at 3%, which is pretty good. However, it could be way higher. This is because I am still running the Aweber lightbox. A new reader coming to the blog would see the lightbox first and Footer Ad second. Removing the Lightbox increased the Footer Ad sign up rate to 5%. That’s within a percentage point of the lightbox!

Right now, I have the Footer Ad showing once every 10th visit. However, the interval is completely adjustable. As a matter of fact, pretty much everything in the Ultimate Footer Ad is user adjustable. Here’s a video showing the Ultimate Footer Ad in action.

Installation of the Ultimate Footer Ad is a bit more involved than installing a WordPress plugin. You have to know how to set up a database and adjust folder permissions. Don’t worry. It’s not that hard and the script includes an excellent install manual with pictures and videos.

Only $47 for John Chow dot Com Readers

Originally, Graham was going to price his program at $97. But then he realized that a lot of Internet marketers and bloggers may not be able to afford that, so he cut the price in half, to only $47. Here’s what you get.

Ultimate Footer Ad comes with one year money back guarantee. Yep, you read that right. Download Ultimate Footer Ad and try it out for 1 full year. If your ad click rates haven’t at least doubled by then, just contact Graham for a quick, hassle-free refund, no questions asked.

Graham has created a fantastic product and he backs it up with a fantastic guarantee. If you’re serious about building your list (or promoting whatever you want) you need the Ultimate Footer Ad. The price shouldn’t even be a consideration. If you can’t make way more than $47 from the increased conversions, then this business isn’t for you.

  1. John, I got the footer ad Friday, put it on 2 of my niche blogs, and double my opt ins over the weekend. Only 20 sign up, but hey I like it.

  2. Seems cool! Will probably get it with this great deal.

    By the way, the video is impossible to pause/stop once it’s played. That’s annoying.

  3. This is very tempting! I noticed the new footer and was truly caught watching the ad which normally my mind is trained to block out. Its def an eye catching tool that can hopefully convert into leads/sales. Thanks for the review!

  4. AAARRRRRrrrrrrrrr, LOL I seen that this morning. What an awesome idea!

  5. This looks great but I think I don’t need it much yet.

  6. The footer ads seems cool, but I think I don’t need at this moment. Maybe later on. Between, when will be the offer of $27 expired?

    Regards,
    Lee

  7. I bought the ultimate footer ad from chow, but I am having a hard time installing it, I did Open a ticket thru the support team , but they think it might not work with Godaddy hosting. ;o(

    But the UFA are working on it. I will find out tomorrow.

  8. I recently built a homemade version of this script, and am using it on DesktopNexus.com

    What do you think?

  9. So what are the conversions %?
    I’m thinking of using in one of my network site

  10. To be honest I think it’s annoying. Yet another thing we have to click closed. If you want to give away something I feel an on page display is the best way. I don’t mind the page peel.

  11. The ad appears so annoying… its shorten the browsing space.

  12. Hey John,

    It looks Ok but two things:

    1) There is a misalignment of the graphic which is a distraction and lowers the quality of the appearance of the site. I am using FireFox 3.0.7

    2) The footer is too big and makes your site look gaudy.

  13. @Edgar, I just wanted to clarify your comment. I’m sure it will work on godaddyg hosting…I think the problem lies either with a setting in your hosting or there’s something not right with your install. We’ll get to the bottom of it though soon I’m sure.

  14. Don’t know if you have already removed it in your blog or i have accidentally closed it.. I can’t see it when I am on Google Chrome.

  15. same as instant slide up just 20 bucks cheaper. looks good.

  16. I too feel it’s annoying although not as bad as the lightbox. At the moment, I’m not ready to accept it and installing it on my blog. But I have to agree it’s eye catching and will be good as intended, geting more signups on newsletter.

    • I suppose that internet marketing methods have similar trends as fashion does. Once these were a big no-no as they were over used and internet users started to shun those sites, which were using them.

      Now it looks like this website’s screen estate is pretty well covered, top banner and footer, let’s see when side scrolling banners step into the ring…

      Oh, by the way, now I see it, good contrasting colors.

  17. It is surely nice but not free. I cannot afford it.

    John do a small giveaway contest for it.

  18. I also feel it may be too much in the sense of advertising. Honestly, I’m a fan of the page peel ad you have here on your site, which is why I purchased and put one on my site, nurtureyourwealth.com, as well.

    It’s important to note though that maybe in a few months, other forms of advertising may be seen as annoying/lacking in performance – this one may really take off since it will be a change of pace then.

  19. I have been noticing this pop up on many sites, and it is nice because it is not as intrusive as others and also if you don’t have too much room on your site main page.

  20. I tested this out on my blog very briefly a few days ago. This thing works and increased subscribers to my blog.

  21. i guess, many people know how to do that todays.

  22. That is great tool for make money! I will try use it in future!

  23. Excellent plugin, I would love to get one

  24. I am actually not liking it’s concept… I just thought it could lessen the site’s credibility.. perhaps people who want to use it needs to study first about the design prospect.. because design is one big factor for a website :P

  25. Thankyou! This is terrific. I especially like the design & color options From Graham’s videos, it looks fairly simple to install. Let’s see if a ‘newby turtle’ can have success.
    …also, Thak You for the generous discount!

  26. I like the concept of this, it really could help improve the capacity of people who wants to subscribe in your newsletter. I’m looking forward in using this one..thanks!

  27. While I’m all about people making money, I visited your site and it looks like an advertising nightmare for a casual user. I use ad-blocking software for this purpose as I hate it when ads are thrown at me. :Besides the articles themselves, the main page is overrun by ads vs. content almost 2:1. If the ultimate footer ad has seen a spike in your viewership and/or your community then that’s great. But you’ve just lost a viewer.

  28. These have been around for awhile (SitePoint), but I haven’t heard about them in awhile. It’s great to see you’re having success with it. I might try to make it myself rather than pay the $27, but thanks for the idea :)

  29. Everything you have on here is intrusive to your visitors, John…except the original wordpress theme here itself of course. It doesn’t matter for your blog though as you can put the lightbox sign up or the footer sign up and people will still come to your blog.

    Evil, but true.

  30. Hey. Is this considered to be a pop up for google? I mean, can we use it on landing pages for google adwords?

  31. This footer ad looks awesome, better than the aweber popup, less intrusive.

  32. This is a great idea!!! Just might give it a go.

  33. Seems pretty look like on my pc, but john why when i try to load using mobile phone with opera like right now the footad can’t show

  34. Best part of this bar is they are not annoying the people … like not capturing the whole screen and simple click on cross button and disappear.

    So I am also planning to have this one. Really nice thing

  35. I curious why anyone should promote stuff that only works in Internet Explorer especially if you target internet marketers. I think you loose sales if the stuff doesn’t work.

  36. Ash

    Is anyone using the popup to promote an ebook? How is it working?

  37. This is really great, and to think I stumbled accross this site in a random search for something completely different. If you want I will give you the keywords I was searching it might help.

  38. I would like to say **** you john chow. Im sick of you and your stupid **** being posted to the internet. Nobody wants to here about your life. And the people that do are just a waste of space. Good day to you sir.

  39. It’s sad but I can’t affor it. I don’t know but it seems to me that everything you say is right and i want to try it out right away but for now $ is so much for. maybe in the future. hopefully.

  40. its a great ideea. Seems that many that commented here have a positive opinion regarding it. I might use it as well

  41. I like the footer ad a little better than the light box ads. I think the footer ads are non-obtrusive and it doesn’t bother the reader that much. I’m seriously thinking of moving in this direction. Testing them both will determine which one I will keep on my blog.

  42. Those footer ads look like they complete a make money website. Another thing to invest in!

  44. hi..nice idea. i liked the concept of footer advt. does this work with blogger blogspot

  45. You can hype but don’t lie – “Step-by-step video tutorials showing you how to install and use Ultimate Footer Ad for maximum conversions.”

    There is no step-by-step video teaching you to install only a 10 page guide, which was written with loop holes that ask for expertise installation for an amount of money…

  50. Well John,

    As you probably can see, my site’s pretty basic. I’d love to use this Ultimate Footer Ad, but I’m not sure I’m even up to speed enough to do it. Aside from that, I’ve done graphics before, but I’m more artistic and tend to be techie challenged as well as time challenged. Are you available to assist if there’s comprehension problems with the system?

  51. Thanks for sharing this.

    I have been looking to either use a pop up or a footer pop up to get more opt ins to my mailing list.

    This works perfect for me.

    Wow, that is quite a high price for me to buy it. :) I think I will try to look for a custom script else where.
    Share your posts at: ArticlePinger.com. :)

  53. Ultimate Footer Ad is a very powerful tool that works well especially when you are going to grow your e-mail list. It is something visible that won’t disappear by scrolling down the page.

    I guess every serious blogger should get his/her hands on this amazing program for achieving better e-mail marketing results.

    Also, it could be used as an advertising tool by putting other people’s sign up form as a Joint Venture model. You see, the opportunities are endless. In fact, you should always think outside the box.

    Thanks John for letting us know about this wonderful program.
