Affiliate network vs ads network

For sometimes now I am experimenting with monetizing my blog. First I was start with google ads witch give me enough money to pay my host, domain and other expences and maybe to go on a date once a month.

For 2 months I start experminting with affiliate networks. And for example I will give AffiliateShop, becouse from all this network give me the best results.

Now what is with this affiliates and affiliates networks?

Classic ads like Adsense from Google give you money if someone click on some ads they give you to display on your website. Money from a click depend usualy by some factors and is something between 0.05 $ to 1$ ore more. But usualy if you have a averge of 0.20 dolars / click this mean that you perform great

Affiliate based ads work a little different. You get money if someone buy something starting from your site. Payment can be fixed or a percent (between 3% and 30%). This type of ads usualy perform better if you select your ads with your content in mind.

Affiliates networks are places where many ads providers gader and give you possibility to select the best products for your website to display.

Setup your own affiliate program and increase web traffic

AffiliateShop, give you posibility to register as a Merchant or an affiliate.

GDI Scam

Many people try to get rich easy and fast. Usualy this is not true. In my country there is some wisdom words “Money always come to money”, and another expresion “fools have money for others”.

Now internet is fool of “easy money” and “online money” ads, etc. I think at least one time you have encountered an ad where someone promisse you hundreds dolars for doing nothing.

What is GDI or Global Domain International. It is a company witch own .ws domains. So far is ok and perfect legal. Now they sell his domains and let you make money online selling domains for them. Great so far. So where is the scam?

In order to start selling domains for GDI you have to buy .ws domain from them witch cost 10 dolars/month. 10 dolars is not much is very very much, just this is a scam. Why?

  • .com – 9.95 $/year
  • .biz – 8.95 $/year
  • .net – 9.95 $/year
  • .info – 2.85 $/year
  • .org – 9.95 $/year

Now they say that they offer free hosting, witch is crap becouse you dont even have acces on a mysql server, dont have more than 100Mb space, etc etc. GDI dont even give you that stuf on an extra cost. So my conculsion so far: if you think someone will give 10$/month for a .ws domain to start a real online store or something else there you are a very naive person.

Now now about money?

They tell you that for every domain witch they sell from your account you make money. This is true with a BIG BUT.

You start a GDI account so you have to pay 10$ to GDI, you refer “X” witch buy a domain with 10$, in this moment GDI have 20$ in his account, “X” reffer “Y” witch buy an account to so GDI have now 30$ in his accounts.

Now it is end of the month GDI pay you 2$, 1$ becouse you reffer 1 customer (X) and 1 becouse X reffer Y.

And to X another 1$ becouse X reffer Y.

Y could not convince anyone to come to GDI so X get 0$.

Now YOU have 2$, but becouse now is a new month you have to pay 10$ for your domani (remember?) so you get this month -8$. It is not a good bussiness.

If you can keep up you can win some money, if something happend and you do not have time to find at least 10 people every month you lose.

This is a real piramidal game witch in most countryes are forbiden by low.

So you have to add avery month at least 10 people.

Closing your account.

For your reasons you need to close your account from GDI. How simple do you think it is? You can not close your account online they say becouse “security reasons”. So you have to call on a phone number. Very hard to get a line witch cost you some money if you are not in US.

Finally at phone someone try to convince you to try at least one month more, you tell them that you realy dont want to try it so they say ok your account is closed. Check it becouse it will not be closed unless you get an email where ask you your name, and your security question.

If this email is not coming you can call again and tell them that you are forced to call your credit card company or contact paypal to block any money requests from GDI. In this moment they will put your account in stand by but they will not take any money from your account.

Accept international credit cards for yor site

Do you want to sell something on your website, or you just need a free tool for receiving donations. Maybe you work on a free software or a plugin and you want to receive some free fonds from peoples who like your work.

If this is not your case but … you sell or buy things on eBay you need a credit card tool and the best there is is PayPal.

Or like me ocasionaly need to buy thinks that can be payed just with PayPal

Sign up for PayPal and start accepting credit card payments instantly.
