I used to be a Nuffnang Glitterati member, which is Nuffnang’s loyalty program where you get higher earnings per click and other benefits in exchange for your loyalty in showing only their advertisements and no other advertisements from any advertisement network originating out of South East Asia. At that time I didn’t really mind not being able to show advertisements from other South East Asia originating advertisement networks like Advertlets as I thought that the benefits of the Nuffnang Glitterati program outweighed the benefits. However, after about 21 days and having only earned RM1.25 from global band advertisements (Yeah, not even band 1), I decided that being tied down to only Nuffnang was not worth it. Hence, my decision to try and start showing Adverlets advertisements on Drett again and see whether it is more profitable.
Nuffnang shows 2 kinds of advertisements, the cost per click (CPC) advertisements and the cost per unique visitor (CPU) advertisements. You only receive the cost per unique visitor (CPU) advertisements when your blog achieves a minimum of 20 unique visitors a day and maintains that amount while every blogger who signs up with Nuffnang automatically qualifies for the cost per click (CPC) advertisements. However, after all this time I have not received not even a single cost per unique (CPU) advertisement from Nuffnang even though I far exceed the minimum of 20 unique visitors a day.
Adverlets on the other hand serve cost per mile (CPM) advertisements which pay a fixed price for every thousand visitors (It’s the same principle as CPU advertisements) to all bloggers as anyone who signs up with Adverlets automatically qualify for them. As my click through ratio (CTR) so far has not been exactly stellar, I think cost per mile (CPM) advertisements will be more profitable.
Besides just trying out Adverlets advertisements on Drett, I have been thinking that maybe I should try jumping ship to Adverlets and trying to get into their own loyalty program called Titan (This Is The Adverlets Network), which has it’s own set of rather interesting benefits.
Most of the traffic to Drett is from the United States, and that’s one of the reasons I feel that both my earnings from Nuffnang and Adverlets will be significantly less than Drett’s true potential.
