Clickbooth offers their publishing partners the highest payout

» by Chris in: Great Sites, Make Money, Sales and Marketing, Technology

If you’ve been following this blog or some of my other blogs in the last while you’ve likely noticed that I’ve been experimenting with different forms of advertising and advertisement placement.

Approximately one month ago I decided to join the Clickbooth publisher affiliate program. I’d heard about Clickbooth on another blog and after reading how well that blogger was doing with their affiliate program I decided to visit the site and sign up.

Clickbooth guarantees publishers the highest payout and a wide variety of advertising options. Publishers can choose to advertise in a variety of ways, for example you might choose to advertise using banners or use their innovative ad rotators which allow publishers to work with a number of different advertisers yet not clutter their sites with numerous banners as the ads can rotate in a chosen location on the website. Clickbooth also allows it’s publishers to advertise offerings via opt in email marketing, contextual pop under as well as via other methods.

I’ve also discovered that I’ll be able to use Clickbooth on most of my blogs because there is such a wide variety of advertisers working with Clickbooth that I can find advertising opportunities to suit most of my blogs niches.

Signing up for an account is fairly easy. I believe I was approved within two days. Also, if memory serves me correctly I was called by a Clickbooth representative to verify my account just prior to being approved. I thought that was a nice personal touch.

One of the things that I really like about Clickbooth is that I’ve been assigned my own personal affiliate manager. I’m able to contact her easily 24 hours a day via email, by phone or even by using AIM. She can also contact me if she has something important to tell me such as reminding me to fill out my W8 Form!

When I login to my Clickbooth account the first page I come to has a selection of offerings that my affiliate manager believes suit the one blog that I’ve registered with Clickbooth so far, as well as the newest offers and hot offers that are apparently based on my websites traffic pattern.

Not only does Clickbooth have a fairly easy to use publisher affiliate program, they also update their members of the latest happenings via the Clickbooth Blog. You can read about Affiliate industry news, behind the scenes happenings at Clickbooth, and information that is helpful to new Clickbooth publishers and advertisers.

In fact it was on the Clickbooth blog that I learned that by following Clickbooth on the Clickbooth Twitter Page I’ll be eligible for randomly awarded prizes if I respond to their tweets. Clickbooth uses Twitter to update their followers about the latest hot offers, events and of course the latest Clickbooth news.

I haven’t been with Clickbooth long enough to have been paid yet, but I can tell you that you can choose to be paid by check or Paypal. My choice is of course Paypal as I find that to be most convenient.

So if you are interested in advertising on your site and you’ve been looking for a good affiliate program I strongly suggest you take a look at Clickbooth.

One of the blogging companies that I do a fair amount of work for is holding it’s first ever blogging conference in just a few months. PostieCon 07 is touted as being the largest gathering of bloggers from around the world.

PostieCon is using the theme “You’re a Rock Star” for this event because it believes that bloggers and Internet personalities are an important part of this information age, and that any blogger, big or small, could become a “rock star” in the world of bloggers.

The conference has been developed in order to educate bloggers on how to build site traffic and readership. You can’t gain noterity in the world of blogging if no one knows you’re out there.

Some of the worlds biggest bloggers will be speaking at the convention and by attending you can use the information that they give you to become a better blogger. Bloggers voices are being heard around the world. We influence the media and new trends. By learning from the top bloggers you can use their knowledge, experience and perspective to rise to the top and make your own blogging voice heard as well.

The events start on Thursday May 31 with a pre-conference “Hello my name is … ” meet and greet in the city of Orlando Florida. The next two days, June 1st through June 2nd will be filled with speeches from top bloggers, meal breaks and social events where you can meet fellow bloggers. The PostieCon event will end with a dinner and the Bloggers Choice Awards on the evening of Saturday June 2nd.
