ehm..seems like not many people know about this program. Did anyone already get paid before?

The 60/40 payment ratio is a big dissappointment.

This information is great. I signed up to Technorati Engage. Perfect! Thanks. Buysellads.com pays better, but I give Technorati Engage a try.

According to the publisher FAQ, bloggers take 75% of the total revenue.

How much will I get paid?
On the 30th of each month, Technorati Engage pays the webmaster or publisher 75% of all the income generated from ad sales on the website. This is believed to be one of the highest revenue shares in the industry.

Perhaps they just got this updated after deciding to pay bloggers a bigger share?

Hey Everyone,

First, thanks for ‘discovering’ Darren, and thanks to your readers for their valuable feedback. I thought I’d chime in.

Second, let me explain that what you see with Technorati Engage today is a private beta, so please be patient with expectations. You may have noticed we haven’t announced it or promoted it because it’s just that — a private beta with very limited functionality and only a handful of publishers and advertisers so that we may iron out the kinks before opening it up to everyone. We’re going to being testing for a few months with a very slow ramp to ensure we get it right, and have a great service for both bloggers and marketers.

Lastly, please stay tuned, and we’ll let you know when we’re ready for launch. Our mission is to support bloggers and people who read blogs, and we want Technorati Engage to support that goal and you.

This sounds really good. The more options bloggers have the better.

Wow! Sounds interesting! I’ll sign up just to experiment if something better than Google Ads is out there. At the same time I’ve notied that Technorati’s site is often overloaded.
So, I’m not sure that they could handle a huge ammount of traffic though. Would Tech Engage work on a new version of WordPress.com 2.7? Who knows?

It will be interesting to see how this works out. I will definitely check them out for my blog when I get a bit higher daily traffic.

I think I am going to sign up and give this a shot. Who knows, it might actually make some extra money on top of Adsense and other networks.

I’m not a problogger and leave all business-related analysis and comments to Darren and other knowledgeable bloggers.. As a user, however, I am less than — how can I put it? — impressed by Technorati.

I have been running a blog for almost 2 years, and their site is virtually always late in keeping track of my blog’s updates (1 post every 2-3 days). Also, the Technorati site contains lots of “YOU WON! NO KIDDING!” style ads.

Hmm looks interesting. I’ll have to look further into this one me thinks.

Maybe wait till they find their feet a little with it first though.

This looks pretty cool. But if you are splitting the profits 60/40 then why would you just use OIO Publisher and keep 100% of the profits? The only advantage of this is you increase your cances of getting an ad placed. But you still need to get more than three ads placed on your site to make the same amount of money as 2 ads through OIO publisher

@sony; I’ve not had any luck with AdBrite either. I hope Technorati can deliver, because at a 60/40 split, if they can’t keep that ad spot full, you might as well just sell those spots yourself.

Their 40% cut is the trouble they save me of having to contact people myself to fill the spot. When I do take the time to contact people myself, I always manage to fill multiple spots. The downside is that my site isn’t big, so at 5-10$ per month per 125×125ad, the time I spend filling/managing those spots myself isn’t worth it.

As often as the technorati monster gets loose I am not sure about installing a widget from them. We will have to test the system and see if this is worth pursuing.
