Okay so I was exhilirated when Nuffnang booked ads on my site (as per my previous post): 2 ads, each running a period of a week.
But now I am so pissed. I checked the earnings for one of the ads that ran for one week. It amounted to SGD$1.40. What $1.40?!?! FOR ONE WEEK? YES one point four zero dollars. Outrageous.
SURE IT'S MONEY, BUT I COULD GET $2 BY JUST BEGGING ON THE STREETS.
Nuffnang should STOP assuming that bloggers will be willing to accept any advertisement offers. They should consider a system whereby the PRICE of the campaign is stated, so that we bloggers can decide whether to waste our space and bandwidth for those advertisements.
Right now, I'm guessing that the second ad that ran on my blog for a period of one week would prolly earn me another $1.40. Heck, that's $2.80 for 2 weeks of running ads. It's really pathetic lah, seriously.
Argh I feel pissed off just by thinking of the pathetic amount. I seriously think the amount should increase lah, at least make it worthy, say $3. And then do AWAY with the minimum withdraw amount of $50. Blardy hell, at this rate, how the hell am I gonna reach and cash out $50 sia. It's not like Nuffnang gets ad offers oh so often anyway, now that they have bad publicity already, it's gonna get worse. At least let bloggers cash out that pathetic $1.40 through paypal lah.
Blardy hell, Nuffnang you better consider my suggestions seriously to appease the bloggers out there, because the way I see it, they're the only way you're gonna get any business.

if i recall, (i might be wrong too) nuffnang ads are cost per impression. what you earn, depends on your traffic.
more impressions, more earnings.
if nuffnang doesnt rock your boat, try cost per action networks like amazon and others.
heres to good earnings!

hey bro, I was pissed too when I got paid $1.40/week.
That’s like 20-freaking-cents-a-day, not even enough to pay for the electricity my laptop uses during the week =S
November 5th, 2007 at 7:18 am
if you have 100 blogs and each blog earn $1.4
do the math 100×1.4=_______
you must always try and think to ‘beat’ the system
November 5th, 2007 at 8:49 am
hey there, nuffnang’s ad payout is based by your previous week’s unique visitors.
for us, it’s $1.40 a week.
but for people like Kenny Sia, i could be $5 or more a week.
in short, more viewers = more money… =)
so take it easy, perhaps you could focus more on PPP or in text ads.
November 5th, 2007 at 8:50 am
no money whine, got money also whine.
no traffic = no money… no matter which ad u use…
November 5th, 2007 at 9:08 am
Okay so Nuffnang gauges your unique visitors in determining the payout rate. I don’t think it’s cost per impression ah. But yeah like what Sha said, I agree that the only way to increase earnings is by expanding and expanding early!
Whoa you guys power dey…I auto-posted this at 130am, and malique and LLY’s still awake! And Sha, whatcha doing up so early sia, mugging ah?
Xinyun eh, at work?
November 5th, 2007 at 1:09 pm
wat else is there to do these days
MUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
November 5th, 2007 at 1:19 pm
$1.40 is indeed pathetic.
November 5th, 2007 at 2:41 pm
So what is your total unique visitors when the ads are running?
November 5th, 2007 at 3:32 pm
I no need to sleep one u know? =P
November 5th, 2007 at 4:28 pm
DK: I lost track. My wordpress.com stats punk’d me and i just started afresh with google analytics.
I checked at Nuffnang stats and it stated average 53 uniques per day. Maybe that’s why my earnings are pathetic, because my traffic is pathetic! LOL
November 5th, 2007 at 9:41 pm
I make US$2.20 per 1,000 ad impressions on average with Google Adsense. Perhaps you can use this as a basis for comparison.
November 5th, 2007 at 9:57 pm
Hmm. I get an average of 100 per day for last week and I got $2.80. Sad..but it guess its proportional..lol..i’m fuming too..when will i reach $50? Perhaps in 15 years time.
November 5th, 2007 at 10:29 pm
Actually $1.40 a week for that ad is quite a lot. Lets see, a day would mean $0.20 With that amount of money, you can buy over 1000 impressions on a decent site.
November 5th, 2007 at 10:30 pm
Try ways to increase the number of unique visitors ur site has. It might help. But then again… it also depends…
If you’re not happy with what you’re getting, there’s always the option of switching.
November 5th, 2007 at 11:37 pm
the one and only nike ad i had earned me $6.10 per week actually. Although I’m still wondering how come I NEVER receive any more ads after that, seeing that my unique visitors add up to around 170 - 250 daily still. Pelik bin ajaib.
November 5th, 2007 at 11:41 pm
if your blog is all about earning money.then yes u have a reason to complain..
but yeah, the pay outs from the ads are pathetic i would say . even adverlets pay peanuts..
November 5th, 2007 at 11:53 pm
pathetic visitorship = pathetic earnings. like claud mentioned, try to increase your readership, it’ll pay off in the end.
November 6th, 2007 at 12:06 am
Chey Faddy, not bad! So now it’s confirmed that Nuffnang pays via CPI&CPC during the “online” ad period. Advertlets on the other hand, is extended to all time.
I’d say Advertlets is a more potential moneymaker. Maybe the reason why we think its peanuts, is because we suckers have too little blogs and readership.
If only both Nuffnang and Advertlets can pay via Paypal, then at least i can use my $1.40 to buy ice cream…

rather a waste of time to me too. people bother to update regularly so that visitorship wont drop and they give us a pea amount. mine’s slightly better -.- $1.68 but still pathetic. how much longer would i have to wait before i can cash out. donkey monkey years maybe? most people like us wont be able to cash out so soon. and if we decide not to cont with the ads anymore. they’re prolly getting free advertisment chances. and, nuffnang- earning $. surely there’s alot of people like this. they get a small amount and end up giving up on the whole thing.
