Blam Ads: An Incentivized Advertising Affiliate Network

Affiliate Marketing Networks have been around for a long time and have helped thousands of affiliates make money from their blogs and websites. Although there are more than a hundred affiliate network companies online, not all of them have offers that you can promote.

The trends in recent times for affiliate network companies has been to be a niche player in the affiliate marketing industry ie. pick up a niche area of products and become an expert at marketing it. One such recent niche affiliate marketing network I recently came across is Blam Ads.

What is Blam Ads ?

It may not be fair to say that Blam Ads is a recent affiliate network, it carries a rich pedigree of successful founders with solid online experience. Blam Ads is a part of Eagle Web Assets Inc., the parent company which was started in 2004 and has evolved to a successful privately held conglomerate staffing over 75 employees across the United States and Europe. Eagle Web Assets also runs EWA Private Network which is a mainstream affiliate network that has weathered the storms of the industry to become a top tier network in less than two years.

Blam Ads started in June 2010 after noticing the massive lack of innovation within the incentive markets. This is a perfect example of finding a need – gap in the market to launch a service. The focus of the company is on lead generation of incentivized offers.

You can join Blam Ads as an affiliate and market offers based on incentives to your audience, incentives work well to increase sales and leads, this makes it more easier for you as an affiliate to make a high commission.

Content Locking Gateway:
Blam Ads has a unique Concept Locking Gateway which I’ve not seen on any other affiliate network. This is where you insert the code on you website that “locks” the content from the visitor until he or she fills out the offer that is displayed as a pop-up.

This can be a very lucrative way to get customer leads for affiliates, because of the content locking gateway the customer has to fill the lead form to see the content on the page.

Large collection of Incentivized offers:
Blam Ads has a large collection of offer, all of them in the incentive space. You can check the “Offers” section from your dashboard to see the type of offer that are available for you to promote. You can choose to promote the offers based on your target audience and the readership of you blog or website. The offers span a large number of categories – automotive, dating, finance and gaming. There are more than 700 incentive based offer spanning over 60 countries.

Payouts:
Blam Ads is a CPA lead network, where you get paid based on the leads generated from your audience. The payout are based on monthly 30 day schedule. Blam ads has a number of options for you to cash out your commissions ie. paypal, wire transfer and direct deposits. International wire transfers have a threshold of $500.

Strong Online Platform:
Blam ads has a strong online platform with the interface providing real time stats for clicking, tracking and keeping a tab of the commissions generated. If you are into developing application then you can check out the virtual currency platform from Blam Ads, this is a plug and play application that engages global users directly, awarding them virtual currency to be utilized as points within the game. Their experience staff and well documented API will help you with this application.

Query Ads: A PPC advertising network for long tail keywords

Digging into long tail keywords is a very lucrative market potential, almost 1/3 rd keywords searches done on Google are long tail. As an advertisers you should aim to get ranked for long tail keywords, the advantages are being profitable and being targeted.

A recent quote from a Google blog post says :

Did you know that 20% of the queries Google receives each day are ones we haven’t seen in at least 90 days, if at all?

When you couple the Google quote with Hitwise’s numbers that more than 18% of searches contain five or more keywords, it can be a mammoth task to find all those keywords for your adwords campaign.

The term long tail relates to less competitive niche markets v/s the broad keyword market. ie : “Thesis Theme” would be a broad keywords, where as “Thesis Theme Discount” or “Thesis Theme Coupon” would be a long tail keyword.

In the above example you’ll find a lot of search queries and a lot of competition for“Thesis Theme” and less searches & competition but very targeted searches for“Thesis Theme Discount” or “Thesis Theme Coupon”.

If you have an adwords campaign running for your product or service, you would know that the bids on keywords are for broad matches. They actually don’t take the long tail keywords into consideration when they display the ads.

Like Google Adwords there are a lot of other Pay Per Click advertising networks like adbrite that work on a similar search technology.

Until now there wasn’t any Pay Per Click advertisingnetwork that could display ads based on ‘long tail keywords’. Query Ads is a new and unique company that features ads based on long tail keywords. This concept makes them different from Google Adwords.

What is Query Ads

QueryAds is a new and unique Pay Per Click advertising network firm that actually monetizes real time search engine query traffic for advertisers on which they can bid. The search queries come from quality publishers sites which they manually approve and then stored in a detailed list providing traffic history reports.

I am a publisher, How will Query Ads help me

As a publisher when you opt to install Adsense codes a lot of time you see irrelevant ads, that are not based on the content of your site. With Query Ads you’ll eliminate the chances of irrelevant ads as the technology targets relevant searches that include long tail keywords.

Query Ads also provide a higher click thro rate to the publisher and guarantees a min payout of 10 cents for every click that you receive and it pays you 80 % of what it receives. Unlike Google where you get paid between 0.1 cent and 0.3 cents.

If your Adsense account has been banned by Google, Query Ads is a good option.

Affiliate Program :

If you have a blog, I recommend you to join their Pay Per Click Affiliate Programthey have a 10 % lifetime commission for every new publisher or advertiser that joins via your affiliate link.

Example : If you have 1 advertiser or publisher join through your link who spends an average of $500 a month you get to keep 10 % of it, 1 x $500 x 10 % = $50 a month. You make $50 a month from 1 advertiser, now if you send 100 advertisers each spending $ 500 a month, you make $5000 a month, 100 x $500 x 10% = $5000 a month

The more publishers and advertisers you refer, the more passive income you make

All payments are via paypal and the payout threshold level is a min of $50
