I have developed a new feature to thank the many blog/site owners who are linking to dannychoo.com. The feature is called DCRewards (Adsense). In a nutshell...
- You link to dannychoo.com - links have your DCTag embedded (DCTag=DannyChooTag)
- When a Cute User comes from your site via a link which has your DCTag embedded, that Cute Users browser will have a cookie set with your Adsense details which does not expire for *one year*.
- This site will refer to the details in the cookie and set *all* Adsense ads on this site with *your* Adsense details.
- If that Cute User clicks on any of the ads - *you* get money from Google.
- Because this system uses cookies, even if Cute User closes her browser and comes back another day, if she clicks on an Adsense ad, *you* continue to get money.
Its simple to get started - just follow the next few steps.
You need an Adsense account - if you do not have one,
read and signup from my previous post.
Log into your
Adsense account and proceed to create a channel so that you can measure how many impressions/money you are making at dannychoo.com. Once you have done that, proceed to create an ad block - any ad - does not matter. I have highlighted
what I need you to register at dannychoo.com - your pub id and channel id - copy *exactly* what you see in your field.
Login into dannychoo.com and go to edit your profile - you will see two new fields - stick in your Adsense pub id and channel id - dont forget to save changes ^^;
For those who have registered my feed on your site, register the following RSS feed instead which will embed your DCTag in the links for each post.
Lets take member
James as an example. His nick name is "James" and his login is "james". He registered my rss feed on his site
Japan Probe as..
You can see what it looks like below. Have a look at the status bar - notice that when you hover over any of the headlines that his DCTag (james) is embedded in all the links.
If Cute User clicks on any of those links, her browser will be set with a cookie that lasts for *one year* that contains James's Adsense details. This means that if Cute User clicks on any of the ads on dannychoo.com - James gets money. Even if Cute User closes her browser and comes back and clicks on an ad - James still gets money.
If you cant register my feed but would still like to make money, you can link to blog posts. When you are logged in, you will see a "RDReward link" on each blog post page - the link will have your DCTag embedded - you must use that link and not the link you see in the address bar of your browser. Right click and copy the link location.
If you would just like to make money by linking to the top page only, please use the following link. Dont forget to change "yourloginname" to your real login name!
Click on a link from your site that has your DCTag embedded. You will notice your Adsense details at the bottom of the page like so...
You can also look at the source of the page where you will see your Adsense details embedded.
Adsense ads do not show up on pages that I have flagged as "adult" or anything that may go against the Adsense guidelines. Even if a user comes from your page and lands on an "adult" flagged page, the users browser is still set with a cookie meaning that if they click around and eventually click on an ad - you get money.
This is cookie based meaning that if a user has disabled or clears their cookies - this wont work.
Current Adsense users can only have up to 3 blocks of ads on their website - linking to dannychoo.com increases their chance of making money.
This feature is not limited to people who are currently linking to me - feel free to use this feature at your leisure.
The best way to make money from this feature is to register my feed on your top and blog post pages just like James has done. Dont forget that I just released the
Mirai packs so you can make banners if you wish.
Another way of making money is by posting news that you may find interesting on other online communities that you participate in - the more people that you drive to the site - the more money you will make.
If Cute User clicks through from
Dark Mirage's site after visiting from James's site, The Adsense details will be over written with Dark Mirage's Adsense details - Dark Mirage then gets the money from any clicks generated by Cute User.
For a few reasons. First reason is that my site wouldn't be where it is without the help of folks who are linking to me - they must be rewarded somehow.
I do thank my regular readers too and am thinking of an effective way to give out prizes soon ^^
I am also doing this because I work in the internet and need to try out new things. I have never seen anybody doing this before. Have confirmed with Google whether it was OK to implement something like this and they said it was fine.
No. I launched this feature knowing that I my earnings will drop but rewarding those who drive traffic to my site is important.
Starting with my
Blog Monetization post, I want to help other fellow otaku do well online.
The platform that this site runs on (Nav2.0) is fully optimized to generate relevant ads as explained in that previous
Blog Monetization post. Relevant ads displayed along related content leads to a higher conversion rate.
