MAKE MONEY BY SEARCHING WEB

Scour is now paying people to search the web. Search results are fetched from Google, Yahoo and MSN. I tried the search engines with many different searches and it returned the results what other search engine returns.
How Do You Make Money?You make money for:
Joining - 150 points
Invite friends - 250 points
Searching - 1 point
Every vote on search - 2 points
Every comment on search - 3 points
All the addition of points are in real time and you can see them accumulating. When you reach 6500 points you can exchange them with $25 gift visa credit card. Or, when you reach 12,500 points, you can exchange them with $50 visa credit card. Similary, 25,000 points for $100 visa card.
You can also refer friends and earn 25% of what they earn. That is really good affiliate program I would say.


So does this Scour actually pay? To be frank, I don’t know. I joined them recently. But the site looks professional. I will surely try them. There is no harm in trying. I think you should also give them a try. There is a cashout option in the control panel. I will try cashing after I make total of 6500 points. Then I will write a detailed review on the site. So, go try them.

CPM NETWORKS FOR INDIAN WEBSITES

I have been asked this question many times in emails as well as in person. Many Indians are having trouble finding the right kind of CPM based affiliate networks for monetizing their websites. So what are the advertising networks which I use on my websites which has content targeted to Indian audiences?
For my India related websites I use following 4 advertising networks:

1)Adsense - Adsense is still the best and provides me eCPM of around $1.00 or so.

2)The News Room - This is a international news network. I try to get related news to my niche for Indian audiences and put them on the site. They pay fixed $0.50 CPM for images and text news with a banner.

3)Kontera - Kontera is an advertising network which works perfectly with other banner/advertising networks without reducing your earnings from those network.

So, if you are looking for options to monetize your Indian audiences based website, use these networks to get best benefits. Other than these there is one ozone media as well. I have used them but was not very happy so I removed them. Then this ibibo is coming up with a new advertising network as well. Just wait for it to get released.

EARN MONEY FROM TYROO AND AXILL INDIA

Well, if you are an Indian blogger just like me you must be knowing few options to earn online by monetizing your site or blog.
Here are few really Good specific options to show advertisements on your blog or site and earn money from your site or blog.
1) Tyroo: After Google Adsense I tried this ad network. I suggest that Tyroo is really a good alternative for Google AdSense program.
I used to earn from Google Adsense and it worked really well, helping me earn few thousand rupees but i was banned.Then i searched for advertising programs like Google then i came to know about tyroo. Best part about Tyroo is, it shows only quality ads of advertisers like Microsoft, ezeego etc.
It is a pay per click program and you have option to show either show text ad or banner ad. In text ad customization option is not available, it only show blue colored text ads on white background.
With Yahoo picking up stake in Tyroo, its importance has grown further. On an average you may get anywhere between Rs5 to Rs8 per click.

2. Axill India: Axill has now India Specific option/site/channel, whatever you want to say. I was equally pleased with the performance of Axill Ads.
Axill, offer both Impression based CPM and action/lead based ads to its publishers. If you have a site with good number of pageviews then you should go for CPM option.
You can get about Rs15 for 1000 ad impressions. Also, the lead/sale based options are really attractive with some nice payout on offer.
Axill offer different ad unit formats including the standard 468 and 728 banners. I liked the small square ad options for Lead/sales based ads.
Overall it is a nice option, you must give this a try!

Axill is an affiliate website, meant for promotion of products and services. It is primarily for the UK and Indian people. One can join either as publisher, or as an advertiser. This means that one can their sell the products, or can promote his own products thru it. The payment mode is either through check or moneybookers, which is quite popular in Uk. For being registered as a publisher, one should have his own website, and it can not be a free site like freewebs, or similar free hosting and domain email like yourname@yourdomain.com. Loading time is quick as well. Overall, an impressive site, and a popular one as well.
CPM/CPC =>> Rs. 10 per 1000 Impression
CPA =>> Varies from Rs. 4 to Rs. 500 per sale.

GOOGLE TO SELL ADS FOR WEB GAMES

Never mind that the advertising market looks bleak.Google still wants to build its share of what little brand advertising there is these days.The company already sells graphic and video advertising on some sites,but so far it has not achieved anything close to the share of these markets that it has with text advertising.
On wednesday,Google has launched its long delayed Adsense for games, a network that will place ads inside the sort of casual time-wasters that are popping up on many sites.
The ads can be text,graphic or video, but Google believes that the format will be particularly appealing for 15- and 30-second television commercials that are inserted before the game starts, in between levels or after it is over.
Adsense for Games is a product that google has been working on for some time. In february 2007 ,it bought Adscape, a start up with technology meant to insert ads into video games.And it mentioned the service at a conference a year ago.Mr Oestlien said it look a while to integrate Adscape into Google's technology.
For the text and graphic ads Google will also look at the context of the game and the page it is on for clues that might indicate whether some of the ads targeted by keyword are appropriate.
