Project Wonderful Not So Wonderful for Bloggers
After entrecard adopted project wonderful many bloggers seemed to adopt the same system. We gave it a try and wrote a Project Wonderful review.
Project Wonderful in Re Review
I gave project wonderful a pretty positive review, stating that it was a great resource to use for monetizing your blog. However, don’t expect much money from it. I ended up running Project Wonderful for nearly 2 months and barely got to cash out twice ($20).
For the first week or two, our price was up to $2.20 per day. By the end we could barely get .30 to .40 cents per day. I would actually be losing money if I would take Project Wonderful over a private ad ($20 per month for a banner).
I don’t think Project Wonderful is very good for monetizing your blog. However, for advertising, it can be golden.
Advertising on Project Wonderful
If you are a bargain hunter for advertising, project wonderful may be just what you are looking for. Some websites and blogs cost as low as .01 per day (some are even free). Just by getting one click on your ad, that’s already a steal.
Two of my favorite blogs to advertise on have been Ninja Success and It’s Write Now. The cost per day is pretty low and my cost per click is only a few cents. It’s been a perfect way to use up the rest of my Project Wonderful leftover funds.
If you aren’t trying to squeeze out every dime, you can do a huge bulk order and advertise on 100’s of blogs if you want to. HomeBizBlogger has written his experience with Project Wonderful Advertising Campaigns, that could be of interested if you want to bulk advertise on Project Wonderful.
Do you reinvest the money you earn on Project Wonderful? If so which websites or blogs do you advertise on?

If you are using PW and own a blog I want to buy your ad spot. My Name above links to a thread where I’m buying ads. Thanks for letting me know Matt.

Thanks Matthew, I like having your ad on my site. PW was kind of an experiment, once I pass the payout it probably will go, but I appreciate you advertising on my site. BAYB is one of my favorite blogs.

I use PW to promote affiliate links and get referrals. The bank of sites is small, too many comic related :), but it’s worth a shot since the cost per day is so low.

It’s tough to stick with, but you have to keep your space up long enough to be appealing to advertisers.
Based on views and whatnot, the longer the box is up, the more appealing your space will look. If you ditch it too early, don’t expect anything to happen I guess.
To each his own…..again

I think I’ll try it soon to. i keep hearing about how it sucks for your own pocket but awesome for advertising….that’s what it’s all about!

Hey,
It’s because people look at the stats sheet and people automatically think that 10,000 visitors = click thoughs which is NOT true.
But I dropped PW a while back because it just wasn’t worth it, in my opinion. Especially since it was so inconsistent.
But hey Matt, I sent you an e-mail for possibly contributing as a sponsor for my upcoming “review” contest. Let me know, thanks!

Sorry Jay I’ll write you back now
Well we had PW up for nearly 2 months, and we were never below 200 uniques or something like that (per day) with as many as 1,000+.
Some days we had no advertisers with a 30 cent per day minimum.

I really appreciate your advertising on Ninja Success! I know I’m cheap but well worth it.
Thanks!
