I am very excited to say that the Adgitize May Publisher payments have been sent from PayPal. May was a wonderful month for many publishers. We currently have 108 advertisers which translates into daily cash for the top performers. Plus, many of our publishers have successfully sponsored affiliate advertisers. Result? An excellent income stream.
Paid Out $1200 to Publishers for May
We paid out over $1200 including over $30 to 6 publisher / affiliates. The top 3 payouts were $57.61, $39.74 and $38.49. Congratulations to the high performers. Now, to earn this much you had to write everyday. You had to be an advertiser and you had to have sponsored affiliates that became an advertiser.
Sixty eight publishers received income over $10 in May. Exactly half of those were paid more than $14. This pretty much paid for an ad for June. (Or some yummy ice cream during the hot summer months.)
Our publisher network is now showing over 25 million ad views a month. That is over 800,000 ads shown per day or nearly 35,000 ads per hour. Do you want to get some exposure to your blog? Try to advertise on the Adgitize Ad Network and see what happens.
Adgitize Moves to New Servers
What can you expect in June from Adgitize? Well we are moving to a new server which every indication shows will occur this week. You can expect some downtime from our network. We are planning the move very carefully to minimize disruption of the Adgitize Ad Network. We will give you a heads up when it will occur and we will plan to make the move during our least busy time. (Which is pretty much never.)
This move should stop that nasty “Service Unavailable” message. (That’s what the experts are telling me.) The move will take us off of a shared network and servers to a dedicated server. Very exciting.
We are evaluating a potential new service for Adgitize which will increase revenues for all publishers. Once we iron out the details we will let you know more. Nothing earth shaking but I promised the top performers would be earning over $100 from our network some day and this is a step in that direction.
Hints and Advice for June
Hints and advice for June? I recommend you become an advertiser in the Adgitize Ad Network. Why? It will produce more traffic to your blog. Plus, you will score an extra 100 points each day. What a value for only 50 cents a day. Begin to write on your blog every day. 200 to 500 words should take you about an hour a day. You score 100 points in the Adgitize Network every day you write an article.
These are two quick hits that will immediately affect your bottom line and produce more revenue for you in the Adgitize Ad Network. We have been paying monthly to our publishers ever since November 2008. We are quick and consistent and the truth is we want you to be successful in our system.
Enjoy the Summer
Thank you all for your participation in May. Enjoy the summer but don’t forget your blog and keep visiting our advertisers. They love to see you stop by and comment.

How To Score 100 Points a Day
You have earned a couple of points but now you want to do better. So, the first question is how do you score more than 100 points in the Adgitize Member Network?
It is actually very easy and there are multiple ways to reach 100 points.
- Click on ads within the Adgitize ad network until you see the blue banner at the bottom with the words “Adgitize 100″
- Write an article on your blog about anything you want (as long as it is safe for work). Make sure you have added your rssfeed to each of your blogs in our system.
- Become an Advertiser ( This actually costs some money. )
- Build up traffic to your blog to score page view points
- Build up traffic to your blog to score Ad View points.
Click on ads within the Adgitize ad network
This is an easy way to increase your points each day. Visit our advertiser’s blogs. Each ad you click on scores you one point. Click on 100 or the maximum available that day and you will score 100 points.
As bloggers we recommend you visit multiple blogs each day. It is a great way to interact with the blogosphere and get to know other bloggers. You will find interesting articles and meet some great people. Getting to know other bloggers will open up your personal blogging network and help you to grow your blog.
Write an article on your blog about anything you want
Did you know we reward you for writing articles on your blog? Write an article and we will programmatically verify that you have written an article and give you 100 points for it. So, we are rewarding you for blogging on your blog.
To be valid to score points you must have entered your rss feed into our system. Go to the Member’s Lounge, choose Manage Blogs, choose Edit Blog Info, and enter your rss feed where it says Blog Rss Feed. Make sure you make an entry for each of your active blogs. You can only score 100 points per day for articles whether you write 1 article or 10 articles in a day.
Become an Advertiser
By becoming an advertiser you can gain multiple bonuses. The first bonus is you receive traffic from displaying your ad on over 3,000 blogs within our publisher network. The second bonus is you receive 100 points each day as a paid advertiser. The third bonus is you will receive additional Page View points each day. And the 4th bonus is you will receive extra Ad View points each day.
Build up traffic to your blog to score page view points
Page views and ad view points are difficult to receive 100 points each day. The system is designed so blogs with 100 page views a day will receive a few points and blogs with 10,000 page views a day will score 100 or less points a day. Remember as an advertiser your page view points will go UP each day with an applied bonus.
You can have up to ten Adgitize ads on each blog page.
Build up traffic to your blog to score Ad View points.
Page views and ad view points are difficult to receive 100 points each day. The system is designed so blogs with 100 ad views a day will receive a few points and blogs with 10,000 ad views a day will score 100 or less points a day. Remember as an advertiser your ad view points will go UP each day with an applied bonus.
You can have 2 Adgitize Ad Groups on each blog page. Each ad group is worth 1 ad view each time the page is refreshed. So, it is to your advantage to have 2 ad groups on each page.
How Much Can You Earn Each Day?
So, that is 5 ways to score 100 points a day. I encourage you to score more than 100 points a day.
Score less than 100 points in a day and you will earn 1 cent a day.
Score 100 to 199 points in a day and you will earn 2 or 3 cents a day.
Score 200 to 299 points in a day and you will earn 15 cents to 25 cents a day.
Score 300 or more points in a day and you will earn 76 cents to $1 dollar a day.
These earning figures are from actual earnings on May 5th, 2009. They will vary each day based on revenue from advertising and the number of active publisher members in the program. There is no guarantee that you will earn these amounts.
UPDATED FIGURES
Since we first published this article earnings have changed. Scoring from 26 to 299 points a day have stayed as above. Score less than 26 points a day and you will earn $0.00. You can earn a penny a day by scoring less than 26 points a day and clicking 5 ads a day while logged into Adgitize.
But, once members found out the power of scoring more than 300 points a day then the earnings dropped because more members moved into that category of points.
Score 300 or more points in a day and you will earn 41 cents to 69 cents a day.
So, it is in your best interest to try to score above 300 points each day. You can see that it isn’t that difficult to do and it is even easier if you are an advertiser. I don’t think I would be motivated to earn 3 cents a day. But, with a little effort it is relatively easy to get to 200 points a day.
These earning amounts are low now, but with more advertisers like you the earnings will go up. As you can see this system rewards the members who are actively blogging, visiting other blogs, and advertising. The simple things that make up strong self-sufficient bloggers.
Paid Out $42.61 to ONE Publisher
For the April 2009 publisher payouts the top amount we paid to a single publisher was $42.61. We sent out PayPal checks to 5 people with amounts over $30. Twelve publishers received PayPal amounts over $20. And a large number of other publishers received amounts greater than $10.
This month you can earn these amounts. Score more daily points.

Adgitize will be paying April earnings in early May. Will you be earning enough for a payout? If you have earned more than $10 either in April or accumulated through April you can expect to receive an email from us through PayPal with your accumulated earnings.
Make Sure You Have Entered Your PayPal Address
But, we can only pay you if you have given us your PayPal email address. It is easy to give us this information. Login to Adgitize, Go to the Members Lounge, Choose Profile and fill in the Member Payment box. If you haven’t entered this information when we go to send out the monies, you may find your payment delayed a week or two.
April Broke Revenue Records
The month of April saw us with our largest number of Advertisements in the system. (The month isn’t even over yet.) We will pay out close to a $1,000. We will have the largest single payout since we started 6 months ago.
Advertisers and Members Keep Coming Back
That is true. We see our members and advertisers come for a month and then try someplace else. But, more and more we are seeing them coming back to Adgitize. Why? Because an advertisement in our system drives traffic. If they choose to be an active publisher most advertisers will earn enough to pay for the ad and probably will earn another $5 to $15 on top of the cost of the ad. It is truly a win win situation. It is almost like we are paying them to advertise on the Adgitize Ad Network.
If you didn’t earn enough in April to receive a payout, remember that we continue to accumulate your earnings until you have reached a payout level. Become an active member. Visit our advertisers daily, write a blog article 3 to 7 times a week and why not try an ad in the Adgitize Ad Network to get more traffic to your site? Wishing you an exciting, high revenue MAY!

Adgitize is making changes to the earnings calculations which will increase growth and revenues for active publishers.
Earn $25 a Month
When I started Adgitize, I envisioned an opportunity for the top active publishers to be earning in the range of $25 to $100 a month. Well, if you have been near the top of the Leaderboard for any length of time you know that you currently don’t earn anywhere near that much. That is changing for the better!
When I was planning the structure and possibilities within Adgitize I was making certain business decisions based on assumptions I perceived within the ad marketplace. I was reading forums which led me to believe there was a niche for what Adgitize has to offer. I was right. In fact recent changes within Entrecard and Cmfads proved I was 100% right.
But, during my planning and market analysis I was terribly wrong on the number of advertisers that would be interested in this market niche. I had concluded from talking to other advertisers and publishers that there would be a 6 to 1 ratio of publishers to advertisers. Well, it wasn’t even close.
After 5 months in the ad marketplace I have real world numbers to make decisions. I have decided to restructure the earnings report to take into account these actual numbers of publishers to advertisers.
So, starting with points earned on April 1st, you will see a big change in what you earn. Now, many things are staying the same. There is still a maximum of 500 points available on any given day. There are still advertiser bonuses available. The point system isn’t changing, only the amount of money you earn from those points. But, all the earnings are still based on the total points in the system and the total revenue earned from the advertisers.
New Guidelines Equal More Money
Here is a very loose guideline to predict your earnings. If you are scoring 300 points to 500 points on a daily basis then you will see earnings from $15 to $35 a month. Publishers scoring 100 points to 299 points daily will see monthly earnings from $1 to $10 a month. If you are scoring less than 100 points a day your earnings will be less than $1 a month.
Now these are ball park numbers still dependent upon the revenue available from advertisers. These numbers will be much lower if we only have 25 advertisers and much higher if we have 200 advertisers. These current predictions are based on an advertiser base between 50 and 75 advertisers a month.
If everyone earns 300 points a day then these earnings figures will go down. But, real world dynamics don’t predict this to be a problem.
I thank you all for your participation within the Adgitize Ad Network. I know many of you were disappointed in the amount of money you were making each month. This change will correct many of those issues. I encourage you to stay involved and do the steps necessary to earn 300 points a day in the coming months.
I have to tell you, I am very excited about this change. Members that were wondering how they could afford to advertise next month now have an answer. Most advertisers are near the top of the leaderboard. Of course, because you receive an advertiser’s bonus each day. Well now you will earn enough to pay for the ad and a little extra on top.
Publishers who are active with regular articles, visiting advertisers, and decent traffic will be well rewarded with these new earnings calculation.
