Project Wonderful Review and Tips
Project Wonderful is another ad service that bloggers can utilize easily. It is another “wonderful” widget that is easy to use, for the most part. I took an “un-monetized” spot of our blog, in-between our Topspots and Blogroll and turned it into a money maker.
Project Wonderful
Project Wonderful is a great resource to use if you are having trouble monetizing your blog. If you are can’t fill your banner space, put in project wonderful until you can find a more permanent sponsor. Better than an “advertise here” button. By just setting your widget for a couple of cents per day, you can easily earn several $ per month.
You can place the widget anywhere. We have the widget on our sidebar, but some websites like 365toFreedom put it in every post. The ad sizes you can have include, 117×30, 125×125, 234×60, 468×60, 728×90, and 160×600.
A plus to it is that you can use the money you’ve earned and advertise with it. You can find several cheaper advertising for only pennies per day.
Some Wonderful Tips
When you set up your ad box, make sure you select a minimum bid. If you don’t you will get flooded with advertisers bidding 0.00$ and you will be essentially advertising their site for free. This is a huge hassle having to reset your ad. You must delete it then make a new one.
Starting with less advertising boxes could cause your price to raise. It can only helpyou to have more competition! Our minimum price set with one ad has been 50 cents, but has gotten up to 2$+. Remember it’s cost per day, if we could keep up 2$ a day that’s an extra 60$ per month. With more ad boxes available, your advertising can be sold for less. Every blog is different, however this is just what has worked best for us.
I’m big on incentive, possibly give your advertisers a reason more to advertise, than just the banner. Everyone who advertises with BAYB, usually gets a nice big stumble. Our current advertiser, http://getsomecomputerhelp.com/ got a nice stumbleupon boost of a few 100 visitors.
Has Project Wonderful been wonderful for you?

Great review of Project Wonderful! Must say that I do recommend it and use it on both of my blogs; FerrariDave and Buy Me A Ferrari. Like to do the odd bit of advertising through it too.

Project Wonderful is great, I’d recommend bloggers and guys who don’t quite get enough hits to make it on ad networks to try it out. The only kink is sometimes some advertisers can get a spot without having the cash and can really mess things up. Otherwise it’s a great idea and only more and more bloggers are going to use it (easy to advertise yourself too).

I think Project wonderful is nice, and I use it myself, I had some open ‘advertise here’ 125×125 squares left so I figured something in those spots was better than nothing at all. Its also neat way to see how much people think advertising on my site is worth.

Glad you like the review, we are at about 10$ from our advertising and buying ads

I’ve seen this on other blogs and wasn’t quite sure where to begin by utilizing it. It’s another great idea just like Scratch Back, but this one obviously gives the advertiser the benefit of creativity.

I have Project Wonderful on and going too. And it’s great as a way of getting more cheap publicity. If your blog is going to grow, so will the daily profits from PW.

Thanks, are you currently using it on any blogs?

I just got approved and installed it this morning. I had a lot of extra real estate so I put up 6 125×125 squares. As of today I have one taker on the free advertising since my bid is at 0. I assume things will eventually grow. But I’m surprised that more people haven’t jumped on the free spots. Good post, Emma

No, I’m not really allowed to sell advertising space at Orble. While I have placed some affiliate ads and paid posting badges in my sidebar, those aren’t paid ads. Other than that, I have Google AdSense ads which are shared with Orble.

Great review! Thanks for the info. I just signed up.

I’ve seen a lot of sites using Project Wonderful lately, so I’m going to try it out on my blog soon. It sure seems better than using an ad service where advertisers pay you when people click on their ads.

Damnit…I clicked your referral link when I wanted to go to 365toFreedom. That’s pretty sneaky…

there is no referral program for project wonderful. The link is just old, it used to point to his advertising page.
