Google Ads Out Of The Box

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

We all know what Google Adwords is. It is an advertising program that help to make you known to the world by using Internet and computer.

Now, Google has evolved its ads network out of the computer monitor to TV. Yes, it’s called Google TV ads. This TV ads program is by invitation only during its beta on June 2008. It is a good move to grow its giant advertising empire!

No doubt, I believe Google TV ads should be able to reach out to wider networks by feed it’s ads to several dozen TV channels nationwide. But who knows on its effectiveness? As a blogger or internet enterpreneur, do you think this program can help to boost your business? How many TV viewees will go to your website and buy things?

I doubt on its performance. Let’s wait and see. ;)

My Text Link Ad Sold !

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

While bloggers are discussing their PR drop due to text link ads, I’ve just received an “Text LinkAd Sold” email from text link ads. This is the first time my text link has been sold after blogging for 2 months here :)

Tim, We are excited to notify you we have sold a text link ad on your post at http://ahtim.com/2007/09/27/free-international-phone-calls/!

As you could see above, I’ve receive a notification email from text link ad about my text link has been sold in one of my previous post. After check on my post Free International Phone Calls ! , I found that the word “VOIP” inside the post has been text link to the advertiser. How much it worth? I login my Text Link Ad account, check on my account status, and you know it worth $1.50 for a word link.

Now, I am not sure whether to continue the text link ad or not? I worry my PR will drop after this, and on the other hand, the text link ad is quite worth it! What do you think ?
