First social network that pay users!

Few weeks ago I got (here) private message about Yuwie.com, social network that pays for page views. I was so busy that time, so I just check what's going on. OK, just another social network I thought and forget.

But few days ago I noticed a lot of news and got a lot of mails about the new social network that pay users. I noticed this messages on forums, traffic exchange networks, monthly newsletters I'm subscribed. And all discuss about Yuwie.com.

So I decide to join. And I was surprised! Great! Maximum of flexibility! What I mean? At first, you got a profile page (something similar like on MySpace) where you can setup your profile, blog, photo galleries, videos, shoutbox, interests, etc...

Most important is that you can add in your profile almost everything. All embed codes and widgets as I know, slide shows, videos, etc...

Why is this so important? Well, as a content creator and a content sharer, I can embed codes and links from my content here to my Yuwie profile page, my blog posts and also on other comments and club posts (clubs are groups with special interests like cooking, autos, music, fans, etc...).

Also, Yuwie pay users! Revenue depends on your profile, blog posts, photos, videos and comments views and on your referrals 10 levels deep.

So, if you find something interesting in this, you can join in here.

Referrals 2.0 launches to all AdSense publishers

AdSense recently announces that the adwords advertisers’ products will soon be available to all Adsense publishers. This program, known as Referrals 2.0, will allow AdSense publishers to direct traffic from sites to various products and services of AdWords clients. Earnings for publishers will be estimated as cost-per-action and not cost-per-click as standard or, let's say, classic AdSense ads.

What and how this will impact to existent AdSense publishers and complete AdSense service? Mostly, conclusions about this fresh, new service, were that this launch will expand inventory and functionality of referrals for publishers.

And what are the key benefits?

Expanded inventory of products
Until this service, you're been limited to Google products which weren't nessesary fit the context of your site. Referral's 2.0 will offer thousands of products and services and it'll be easily find apropriate products or services for your site.

Categories and targeted keywords
There'll be thousands of products or services available and publisher can choose betwen ads which will perform the best for their site. With Referrals 2.0 publishers can have control to decide what ads or specific category or products to show on site.

Ad unit optimization
AdSense Publishers will have a tools for an ads optimization,so they'll compare selected with other ads to check performance of ads and choose the best.

Higher revenue
Referrals 2.0 will be paid on a cost-per-action not on cost-per-click so quality traffic matters. If publishers turn their traffic into a sale or lead, the'll learn more.

I'm, personally not shure, what'll happen with Referrals 2.0 (I just check my AdSense account and I got this functionality), we'll see. But this service is logical proceeding of Google Advertising services. Hence, almost all forgot that Google acquire DoubleClick for more than 3 billion $, people still mostly discuss how and why Google buy YouTube.

Community based search and your revenue

When I surf around the web and investigate for appropriate and interesting widgets for my blog WidgetMania!, (I collect there widgets for sites and blogs), I hit on Swicki, search engine that automatically learns from your community’s search behavior. This search-tagged, widget has big potential from my point of view.

Why? At first, it’s free for everyone (of course, you need a web page), it’s very customizable, you can embed it into your site or blog, whatever, and finally, you can earn from search results. Also, very good possibility is traffic - you can drive traffic to your sites - you create swickies with a lot of keywords (which are relevant to your sites) and add your sites to search results.
Last, but not least, you can add your adsense code(or chitika, or Context.web, or you can suggested advertiser) to your search results. Very impressive, don’t you think?

The easiest way to understand how it works - just click on these few examples bellow. I spent just an hour of my time and I think it worth. (I’ll continue playing with swickies, for shure).

I put swicki on my magnifyed page Famous Video Blogs, in header, as you can see. If you click on one tag/keyword there, let’s say “AskNinja”, you’ll go to search results page, which is customized with my header and my links and, also my adsense publisher code. Great!

Another example is swicki embed here, above Revver video widget, with keywords related to blog monetizing options.

Check out my other swickies:
Net.Animations, and search the best animations on the net;
WidgetMania!, where you can find links to the best widgets;
RevenueSharing, is a search related to all activities about earnings, monetizing you site and sharing revenue;
