What is it costing me in lost visitors to Ben's point (and others earlier) that many / some visitors will never go back to a site with audio ads. And, of those how many will have clicked ads upon their return? At least with PPC adsense I am getting around 30 to 50 cents per click.
Yes, the power is in the 'commission' struture which is really, let's be honest now, a multi-level marketing scheme. Bloggeries is out to make money. Did Bloggeries give us the link in the very first post without it's own code attached? No. The Bloggeries code was attached so anyone, including myself, who signed up are making money for Bloggeries. Which is OK if your site is focused on making money.
My site is not. My site is about home reno's and home energy conservation. So, no, I'm not going to publicize PPP and have people use my link with my code to join as that would be out of context for my site.
I have to say that this PPP revenue is a very, very, very low payout. No wonder they never mentioned the amount of the payout in any of their marketing materials. If they had, how many of us would have joined. And, they keep pushing back and pushing back the true, final, real, start of this which is very annoying.
Now they are saying it will be at least another 2 weeks out before they are fully ramped up. And then what? To me, they haven't earned credibility yet.
I may stay or I may leave the PPP program if they don't get their act together and get the reveue per ad more than less than a penny per ad.
We should just not sugar coat it. Let's just be real about it.

I see what you are saying; basically now only 100,000 ads out a day to ALL members so it should increse. You have to decide what is best for your site. All different sites have different strategies. That's why I'm not running it on this forum because it would not be worth it however others have websites and blogs where it would be ok. Revenue from first day is too early to ye or ne a program soley on a profit standpoint.
Also remember most are contextual; hence a medica site WOULD earn more then say a general blog about life.
Not all opportunities are good for all people.
That being said I"M STOKED!
People are already making money and it's a TINY portion of future ads so it looks promising.
Bottom line; do what is best for your site! If this is something that could work then try it; if not remove it.
If you want to run on your blog but not sure ; do a poll maybe? If you have a marketing / make money blog; signup and let others know. There is opportunity for everyone.
Regarding affiliates... I try to ALWAYS signup under WHOEVER told me about it. What's the cost to me? 0!!! It costs me nothing to sign under someone who told me. I believe in Karma and try and do onto others as I would like them to do onto me.
Let's see what happens; I'll check my stats again soon just I'm at a hotel on their cafe computer and the key sticking; frankly I can't believe I typed this much!
