Well, as some of you remember, I’ve been investing some time and blog space into using [tag]Project Wonderful[/tag], giving it a spin, in comparison to the older ad systems such as [tag]Google[/tag]‘s [tag]AdWords[/tag], or Chitika’s [tag]eMiniMalls[/tag].
What I like about the system is that it is easy to set up, and the ads are usually in good taste.
The system isn’t like Google, where people have to go clicking on the ad they see for me to earn anything (but please, click on them if you are so inclined — let these nice people who have chosen me as a venue for advertising see that the money they are spending isn’t in vain). The advertisers pay a steady daily rate. This means that they could be paying a penny a day for 30 unique views, or 300, or 3000, or even 300000, if they’re lucky to catch something like that. 
The system is more of an auction system. You bid for a number of days at a maximum price that you are comfortable with, to keep yourself showing. As long as you aren’t outbid, your ad shows at the lowest price. If someone tries to bid, but doesn’t beat your bid, you simply pay per day at this point:
If your maximum bid is 1 cent per day, and no one has bid, you pay nothing for your ad to show.
If someone suddenly bids on the slot for a free two day run, then you start paying the 1 cent per day, until that person retracts their bid, or the period they wished to run it for expires.
That’s what makes it inexpensive.
Thanks to Project Wonderful, I’ve also discovered a pair of webcomics that I read now (I need to add Biff to the list of comics I read here).
It seems that you, the users, haven’t blocked them with AdBlock, and I truly thank you for that.
The question at the moment is this: Have you checked out any of the ads, or even enjoyed the material?
