PerformancingAds.com – Can Petentially Make You Some Profit (Evidently)

Just a while ago, John Chow probably got $10 as I signed up to PerformancingAds.com through his website (and my guess is, it could only be an affiliate link). My initial thought was, if John Chow chose to put their ad on his website just to collect revenue from referrals, it has to be a very profitable idea.

After having a closer look though, I slightly changed my mind, but not (too much) to the negative side. Compared to BuySellAds.com (an advertising banner network with who I have a great relationship recently and they even dedicated a whole blog post to toptut.com this week!), — the guys behind PerformancingAds.com take bigger cut,  maybe that’s why BuySellAds.com’s market place looks slightly more prestigious with bigger and more well known names on the internet, BUT… Seems to me John Chow was right after all and made a good choice adverting PerformancingAds.com on his blog, because their referral program is a real treasure!

How it works?

You sign up (free!), (password is emailed to you separately, in my case it took to 2 days, not sure who’s fault was it) and simply start referring in the best way you know. The advantage of this referral program over others is that you get a one time payment per referral PLUS recurring fees. To be more specific:

• You earn $10 for each new publisher or advertiser referred through your site or link.
• Plus, earn 5% recurring revenue on all advertiser ad buys … for life.

I really love the idea with a fixed fee per referral because I tried many programs where my payout depended on various parameters and even with 80+ referred signed ups in the stock I couldn’t get paid. Moreover you get paid for publishers and not only advertisers so now you tell me: what can be easier than to convince someone to sign up free and start earning passive income? Quite the same structure as with Text-Links-Ads.com only they pay $25 per publisher or advertiser without recurring fees.

Where is the catch?

Sure, there is always a little catch. In order to get paid for a referral, the referred publisher has to create and install an ad region for at least 1 month. It means referring referrals won’t count towards your payment. But looking at a positive side, most people would want to try the banners system out at least to see if they can sell anything through PerformancingAds.com or exchange traffic. Try it!
