Get $5 for Free Today from AuctionAds
Get $5 for testing AuctionAds – find out more below.
A couple of days ago I asked readers for their reviews of AuctionAds – a new income stream for bloggers that has been going for two months now.
Today the team behind AuctionAds contacted me to let me know that they want to offer ProBlogger readers a special incentive to try them out on your blog.
They are going to put $5 into the account of every ProBlogger reader who signs up today via this Special Offer Form. To qualify you just need to sign up and try Auction Ads out on your blog.
This is an exclusive deal (from what I’m told) – open only to ProBlogger readers and while it might not seem like a large amount to give away – considering the readership of ProBlogger they could be giving away some serious cash (if every RSS reader signs up they’ll be into six figures – gee I’d love to see that).
So if you’ve been meaning to try out AuctionAds on your blog what better opportunity than this? While AuctionAds work better on some blogs than others they are worth a try. The worst thing that can happen is that you walk away with a free five dollars!

Oh man, I already signed up with Auction Ads nearly a month ago and now the ads are already on my football/soccer site.
Is it too late to get my freebie?

i can’t understand why you’re all fake people and this is another fake offer just as same with PErformancing Partners, these are all your sites Darren, are you going to raise up another site of yours? I signed up to this but all the informations are nearly promising but no money comes, ate least give 1 cent!!! It’s easy to see you’re fake.

Thanks ProBlogger and AuctionAds!

Oh Damn it. I’m already using it. I’ve been using it for a month. This is why sometimes its better to be late to try something out. Oh well. Gonna leave. Just $5. Not $50. If it was $50, I’m not gonna cry (to all who thought I would).

I have been working on a system to make AuctionAd$ more dynamic. It watches what adverts succeed and which do not. By supplying it a list of different keywords it builds up a picture of what works on your site and then only shows those. Check it out at, its free to download and install. http://blog.assembleron.com/2007/05/04/how-to-make-auctionad-dynamic-with-php/

Last time I was on their site, because I said I was in Australia, it was using the Australian eBay to fetch ads. But I didn’t want to use the Australian ebay, I wanted to use US or UK, but I couldn’t find any option to change it. I emailed them about it twice; no reply.
If they can get back to me about it, I might try it out.

So far, I’m not a happy camper. Perhaps I put in the wrong keywords (although all I used was writing, writer, and I think freelancing), but I’m getting some pretty weird ads displaying on my site. Not only am I get obscure religious and cult type books, but when I went to show the new ads to my brother there were a pair of women’s underpants (with a woman in them) showing. I certainly hadn’t expected a lingerie ad when I signed up.
I wrote to tech support about the ads, but since they don’t stay very long I couldn’t provide much specific information about the offending ads. I consider my site to be a G-rated family site that mostly caters to work-at-home moms, so this is definitely bothersome.

You write that it could cost them a lot of money, if everybody signed up to get the 5 dollars. That is wrong. I am sure there is a minimum amount to be able to get paid, and almost nobody will ever reach that amount, so the 5 dollars actually means absolutely nothing to them! You probably need to earn 100 dollars to get paid, and almost all people won’t, and the people who did, got plenty of money for the company, while earning the 95 more dollars! :D

Jesper – you’re right, there is a minimum payout – but it’s $10. So on signing up and getting your $5 free you’re already halfway to getting paid. I think that that’s a pretty decent deal.
