TTZ Media WordPress Plugin

written by John Chow on November 19, 2007

How to make $593 in less than one hour

Karol Krizka has created the first WordPress plugin for TTZ Media Ads. The new plugin, call TTZ Media Product Showcase, allows you to insert a targeted TTZ ads into a post with your own custom keywords. This will be very helpful for publishers who review or write about a lot of different products.

The TTZ Media Product Showcase plugin lets you specify what products to advertise on post by post basis by letting you choose your keywords when adding the ad block. The “adding” works similarly to the AdSense Deluxe plugin, meaning that you use the following HTML code to add advertisements to a post: <!–ttz#product,keywords–>.

Quick Installation Instructions

  1. Sign up for TTZ Media
  2. Place the plugin file into wp-content/plugins folder.
  3. Enable through the admin panel
  4. Go to Options->TTZ Media Configuration page of your admin panel to configure the plugin
  5. Change the User ID to your affiliate membership code that you can find on top of your TTZ Media dashboard
  6. Create a new template
  7. Insert ads into your posts by adding the following HTML code: <!–ttz#productname–>

You can also include TTZ ads in your WordPress template by using the following line of code: <?php ttz_ad(’template’,’list,of,keywords’) ?>. The template name and the keywords are optional. If you don’t enter any keywords, the plugin will used the default TTZ keywords. If there is enough interest, Karol will work on a TTZ sidebar widget.

Neato burrito. I’ll give that a try a little later.

Israel November 19, 2007 at 1:00 pm

you can do this with wp ads plugin. serves the same purpose.

Chris Jacobson November 19, 2007 at 3:14 pm

I was thinking that just now. I’m already using the wp-ads plugin to serve TTZ ads.

Israel November 19, 2007 at 6:50 pm

doesnt it work great? i love it. its how i serve ads and some non ads on my blogs.

Gary Lee November 19, 2007 at 12:08 pm

looks like something i need to try for http://www.PinkDeals.net . . . .

Mike November 19, 2007 at 11:33 pm

yeah possibly!

Gdog November 19, 2007 at 12:10 pm

Sweet…first things first, gotta sign up…;)

Israel November 19, 2007 at 1:02 pm

wow, you are late. why didnt you sign up when it was first launched?

Shawn Knight November 19, 2007 at 12:55 pm

looks nice, ill have to give it a try :)

Joe November 19, 2007 at 1:41 pm

Not bad.. was looking for something like this. Might try it out.

bloggernoob November 19, 2007 at 2:38 pm

john did you pay him to make it for you? or did he agree to do it for free for a plug?

John Chow November 19, 2007 at 2:53 pm

He just made it. I never asked or anything.

drt November 19, 2007 at 5:54 pm

He is smart. The exposure by John Chow pays him more than what you can pay or you’re willing to pay him. :twisted:

Israel November 19, 2007 at 6:53 pm

one of the many perks of being you. lol.

Mike November 19, 2007 at 11:34 pm

cool

Kabatology November 19, 2007 at 2:42 pm

The END OF BLOGRUSH. I scraped off Blogrush from my blog and coincidentally my page views practically rose by 10. (x10). I’m very certain that is the end of it for me.

Israel November 19, 2007 at 7:01 pm

haha, me too. done with. i am trying entre card, but only for a little bit. the good thing about that one is that people may actually visit your site to drop their card, so atleast you get a unique visitor from that.

Kabatology November 20, 2007 at 10:19 am

That’s good news, never heard of it before. THX.
Ha it seems someone mentioned it at ShoeMoney.

Mac-Sage.com November 19, 2007 at 2:50 pm

Who has used TTZ and likes it? I’m curious.

Domtan November 19, 2007 at 3:10 pm

We are not TTZ users, yet. But thus far, those who’ve used it seem to be satisfied with it.

Kabatology November 19, 2007 at 3:10 pm

Still trying it out, has better filters than Adsense, so you can choose just what you want for your blog.

Karol Krizka November 19, 2007 at 3:10 pm

I use TTZ because I find it much better than WidgetBucks. It’s true that TTZ’s admin interface does need an improvement, however the actual ad blocks (which is what matters!) are much better than those slow loading WidgetBuck flash banners. I have not used any other shopping comparator type advertisements.

Domtan November 19, 2007 at 3:11 pm

John,

How do you, yourself, rate the TTZ as a publisher program, from scale of 1 to 10? In all honesty.

dfw November 19, 2007 at 3:13 pm

TTZ is owned by john chow so he is going to be a bit biased. :lol:

Domtan November 19, 2007 at 4:27 pm

Ofcourse. That is why the question was put to John particularly. To see how he rates his own program, “in all honesty.”

John Chow November 19, 2007 at 3:43 pm

It’s a 10 for sure! :mrgreen:

Mike Huang November 19, 2007 at 4:24 pm

Hopefully I’ll qualify for TTZ Media the next time I sign-up :)

Neato, wish I had time to work on the “tech” review site a little more, i really want to see how will TTZ media work as it integrates very well with the content.

Dave November 19, 2007 at 5:07 pm

I have TTZ Media incorporated into my sites and blogs. They works very well for content of my computer related sites and Baby Boomers FAQ. The best thing is they make money every day. Much better than Adsense.

Israel November 19, 2007 at 7:06 pm

i have it up on a game site and i think it works great, gets good clicks, i may even replace the other ads with it.

Contamination November 19, 2007 at 5:07 pm

John, I just gave you (and others) a little link love.

Dj Flush November 19, 2007 at 5:10 pm

I so want to use TTZMedia on my Blog JohnChow

But I can’t register because they don’t offer payouts to people living in Pakistan

That is one very very big disappointment for me

John Chow November 19, 2007 at 5:24 pm

We offer payment by check but the min payout is $100.

Israel November 19, 2007 at 7:07 pm

$100 , darn it. i got a long ways to go john. you are evil mister.

Innovations & interesting Ramblings November 19, 2007 at 9:11 pm

probably john knows that people using it will reach it quite quickly :razz:

Kabatology November 20, 2007 at 10:26 am

Minimum payout threshold is currently $25.00. with paypal.

dave November 19, 2007 at 5:29 pm

I have TTZ Media incorporated into my blog Baby Boomers FAQ The ads match the content well. The best part is they make money every day. What is the average CTR? Any body can tell me?

Etienne Teo November 19, 2007 at 5:37 pm

Is it kinda like a secret and CTR should not be mention? Don’t it show on your daily report?

dave November 19, 2007 at 5:49 pm

Thanks. what I am referring to is the average CTR for TTZ Media Network. Then, I would know if my CTR is good enough as compared to average TTZ Media Network.

charles November 19, 2007 at 5:39 pm

What does “Reward Author:___% of impressions go to the author.” mean in the Options->TTZ Media Configuration page of your admin panel? Will I just leave it alone? :smile:

drt November 19, 2007 at 5:58 pm

I thought the default is 50/50. :grin:

Neil Duckett November 19, 2007 at 6:12 pm

Looks like a few issues accessing the download from my end … anyone else get the same?

Karol Krizka November 19, 2007 at 6:17 pm

I’m getting an error too, but I have no idea what the issue is. I have contacted the support staff to see what is up.

Karol Krizka November 19, 2007 at 8:21 pm

It’s back up now. :)

johnCard November 19, 2007 at 6:43 pm

i’ve always wanted to try ttz ads, but won’t want to piss off google.

John Chow November 23, 2007 at 3:56 pm

TTZ ads does not violate the Google AdSense TOS in any way.

Blog Contests November 19, 2007 at 8:03 pm
