It looks like AuctionAds is serious about expanding their network. Yesterday, they announced that they were increasing affiliate payout from 2% to 5% and today they sent words that any new publisher signing up for AuctionAds will get an instant $25 credited to his account. This also applies to publishers who have already signed up but haven’t earned a payout yet.
New publishers just need to sign up and they will receive a balance of $25.00 automatically. Please note if you signed up with us previously and have never earned a payout we will bump your current balance to $25 too!
While it sounds like you do make an instant $25, please keep in mind that AuctionAds has raised the minimum payout to $50, so you’ll have to earn another $25 before getting paid. Still, all these sudden increases in payouts is a step in the right direction.

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...

I signed up 4 days ago and they credited my accoung $25 today!
Likewise! I’m really feeling the new Auction Ad look plus the optional pseudo adsense set up. This $25 is just icing on the cake. I bet they are going to get soooo many sign ups.
I feel the same way Ebay_Tips.
Text Link Ads sure know how to market a product.

Yeah, you’re right. They have really stepped it up haven’t they.
Auction ads is really pushing to get their name out there…this is another great promotion by them…2 out of 3 ain’t bad
Indeed seems like AuctionAds finally ended up in the right hands. Hope for them this will stimulate users to sign up with them.
i didn’t sign up yet… may it be the right moment

Yeah, I just signed up yesterday. I have heard mixed things about auction ads, but I will them a shot on my blog and other sites. Part of me is really wanting to know what percentage of people who signup will ever be able to collect on their $25 bonus.
I think Auction Ads is a great system, but it’s not ideal for everyone I don’t think.
No harm in trying it out though.
Auctionads is so slow to load, I can’t even imagine getting signups.
I just got that e-mail from TLA today and plan on signing up with AuctionAds… hopefully I can get to payout quickly.
That’s where the e-mails are coming from because I couldn’t remember signing up for auction ads!.
So far, I have had no luck at all with auction ad’s. I signed up last week and have 6227 impressions with (1) click and no earnings. Not doing so well….maybe it’s my blog?!
I’ve had the same experience Skiing at Home.
So far I haven’t heard of anyone making money with Auction Ads on their blog. Maybe you earn more when you post it on another type of site (i.e. Torrent).

Anyone except for the diabetes mellitus blogger
Yeah your blog probably isn’t a good match for Auction Ads, it won’t work for everyone.
I’ve got plenty of product based sites so I’m going to try on them.
yeah.. me either! Waste of time
Depends a ot on the site. If you have a product based site and cn target auction ads well enough I think the results would be much better.
your able to make lots of money with Auction Ads check out my Arcade website, I am using Auction Ads as my main Source of income
so far so good … http://www.MyOGGames.com
the cool thing about Auction Ads is that your able to use as many ad units as you can with no limit .. i currently have like 30 of them running on my online arcade website check it out to get an idea of what iam talking about MyOGGames.com
maybe I should run more auction ad’s. Of course Arcade things are probably more popular than backyard skiing when it’s 90 degrees outside
Guess I just got discouraged with them
What kind of CPM are you making off of Auction Ads?
the cool think about Auction Ads is that your able to use as many Ad Units as you want there is no limit check out my site i am currently using over 30 units
The cool thing about commenting on a blog is that once you do it, it’s done, you don’t have to say the same thing again…
Well said, tho if you comment a lot, sometimes you forget you’ve said something. I think it’s happened to me once or twice!
And how much are you making? Posting tons of ad units on a site is easy money, making sales is another thing.
Getting people to click on your ads is one thing, but generating sales is another!
Yeah I received an email today from Auction Ads offering me $25 for signing up, what I found strange was that the email came from Text-Link-Ads.com because Auction Ads is now part of Text-Link-Ads.
Both the updates are good, and combine really well. This will give more incentive for affiliates to signup, and for their referrals to earn more money.
25 bucks is definitely a reason for me to keep this up till i get 50 bucks. I hope i just get it soon and don’t end up wasting the space.
You never know J. You could have a niche that brings in loads of $$$.
Give it a shot. If it works then, “Yay!” If it doesn’t work then try something that does.

I had signed up for an account a while ago. I signed in today but it’s still showing that my balance is $0… Do I have to be actively serving ads in order to get the bonus $25 ?
The min payout is $50 I believe anyway… so you will have to make money to get paid.
Nice — I signed up.
Now they are talking! I’m going to put the ads up on my site again and give it a second chance!
$25 for sign up! That;s great!
Hmm…I also signed up a while ago but I logged in today and it still shows me at $0. Guess I should redouble my auction-ads efforts and look at some other categories to use.
Giving an upfront $25 is great, but it also simply means the payout has now risen and tougher to reach for those who were already not experiencing good results.
John I’m curious. How much CTR were you getting on your adsense ads when you had it on your site?
I have been enrolled with AA, for a few months. I still don’t like the quality of the image, but maybe it is so bad that readers have to click on it to see what the heck it is. Anyway I wonder when I can expect to see the $25.
zz:
Wow AA is paying just to have people using it that is pretty crazy!
humm I love those promotional carrots , will try my luck , auction ads I am coming
AuctionAds will only be a major money maker if you place it on a high traffic page, that is, until they change the way the ads are delivered.
With that said, on my forums, its a significant money maker. It takes a bit of testing and experimenting but it can definitely make some serious coin
Free, you can’t beat free. That $25 is enough to convince me to try it for a couple of months.
i will give it a try on my blog later
Gee, despite the increase in min payout to $50 a free $25 bump is still pretty cool
So I should have $25 on my account since I am not active yet… very good.
introduction
how are you gueys
I don’t think Auction Ads is a good way to make money with your blog at all
i get this email too….seems good to me
Old news already heheh
Looks promising. I think I might try it.
