Why I Bought Joel Comm’s Instant Resale Templates
No doubt you’ve heard all the hullaboo going on about Joel Comm’s Instant Resale Templates since its launch on the 1st of May.
Well, I just ordered a copy this morning and here’s why.
The package includes all of the following components:

- KaleidoSite Pro Software (with Resale Rights) $150.00
- 14 Video Tutorials - almost 3 Hours (with Resale Rights) $1,400.00
EXTRA Templates & Graphics
- 182 Niche Templates (with Resale Rights) $197.00
- 49 Squeeze Page Templates (with Resale Rights) $200.00
- 81 Video Squeeze Page Templates (with Resale Rights) $169.00
- 306 Basic Templates (with Resale Rights) $297.00
- 80 WordPress Themes (with Resale Rights) $100.00
- 76 Photoshop Templates (with Resale Rights) $199.00
- 5 One-Time-Offer Templates (with Resale Rights) $67.00
- 54 Landing Page Templates (with Resale Rights) $79.00
- 88 Marketing/MiniSite Templates (with Resale Rights) $300.00
- 40 Plain Templates (with Resale Rights) $50.00
- 44 Newsletter Templates (with Resale Rights) $100.00
- 300 Website Buttons (with Resale Rights) $100.00
- 45 Extra Header Templates (with Resale Rights) $100.00
The amounts listed represent the approximate value of each component and in my experience, many of those are low.
For example, Joel includes 500 New PLR Articles which he values at $3,000.00. I don’t know where he gets good articles for $6 a pop, because in my experience it costs at least $10 to get a ghostwriter to write a semi-decent article and then you still have to do some rewriting to make the article presentable.
Too, I’ve spent $250 and more for developer editions of Wordpress templates, which includes a licence that allows me to use the template on more than one site. Joel values his Wordpress templates at $25 each and not only can you use them more than once, you can resell them.
I’ve paid more than twice as much as Joel is selling the whole Instant Resale Templates package for, AND it includes resale rights… AND there’s a whole lot to be made in reselling ‘chunks’ of a package.
All in all, I thought it was a great deal and will be even after the price goes up later on today. (See note below).
Check out Instant Resale Templates now.
NOTE: OTHER affiliates are selling the package for more, but I got a special link from Joel, so YOU can still get it for the original price $97.00.

Google Adsense and pepperjamAds on the Same Site?
In a comment on the Pepperjam Network Review: Real Change or Just Hype? post, J. Anthony asked the following question about PepperjamAds:
…does this [PepperjamAds] conflict with Google Adsense? Before I add these to my sites, I want to make sure it doesn’t get me kicked out of adsense…
I understand your concern, J., especially if you are already making good coin with Google Adsense. To answer your question, here are the guidelines for Competitive Ads and Services taken directly from the Google Adsense Policy page.
In order to prevent user confusion, we do not permit Google ads or search boxes to be published on websites that also contain other ads or services formatted to use the same layout and colors as the Google ads or search boxes on that site. Although you may sell ads directly on your site, it is your responsibility to ensure these ads cannot be confused with Google ads.
Here is an example of a pepperjamAds block:
Just so my readers won’t mistake these for Google Adsense ads, I’ve changed the color of the Heading to a dark red.
Too, as you can see, the default Pepperjamads layout is distinguished by a thick, solid black line at the bottom and clearly marked with the word Pepperjam in the lower right hand corner. I’d recommend that you leave that as the default, unless you want to choose another color that makes it look entirely unlike your Google Adsense display.
I see that you are typically running 2 instances of Adsense on your pages (including the homepage… ugh!). What I suggest you might try - if you decide to try the Pepperjam widget - is to replace one of those instances with relevant Pepperjam merchants embedded in your PepperjamAds display and monitor the revenue from both closely.
Hope that helps!

Chitika’s wide selection of ad units got just a little bigger a few days ago, when Chitika announced that it has released its Related Product Unit (RPU) to all its publishers.

According to Chitika, Beta testers of the unit ‘experienced overall revenue increases and enjoyed it’s complete customization features‘. They also state that their publishers ‘love this ad unit because it doesn’t “look” like an ad‘.
You decide. Check out the example at the bottom of this post. Shown is the standard related product unit. Title, text, background and font colors can be customized to match the look and feel of your site. You can also remove the bullets and add channel tracking or an alternate URL.

Pay Per Play Audio Ads: Get Paid on ALL Your Traffic
I like finding and sharing new ways to make money online with less effort … and NetAudioAds™ looks like a good opportunity to do just that, especially for Google Adsensers.
Unlike Pay Per Click advertising (Google Adsense) which pays you only a small percentage when a website visitor actually clicks on an ad and then that visitor leaves your site — NetAudioAds™ Pay Per Play program let’s you earn money on 100% of your web traffic without selling anything and without visitors having to click on anything.
That means you can earn revenue on every single person that visits your website.
How is this possible?
As you may know, major television networks are in trouble because their advertising revenue is dropping. They are losing market share at a dramatic pace because big brand advertisers are moving over to the ‘Net. Advertisers like Harley Davidson, HBO & Taco Bell are willing to pay you on 100% of your website traffic to make up for the loss of viewers that the big TV networks are experiencing.
By signing up with NetAudioAds™ , you agree to place a “single” 5 second audio ads on your site or blog.
The code that calls the 5 second audio ad is a simple javascript code that you paste anywhere between the tags of any web page where it is appropriate for visitors to hear an audio ad. No web page real estate is consumed. The ad is invisible and is only heard.
The ads are professionally produced and NetAudioAds™ assures that they will be contextual. i.e. related to the page’s content. Publishers are paid on a CPM basis and the effective CPM that you receive is determined by NetAudioAds™ automated bid management system and bids will vary from market to market.

Adsense Arbitragers to Lose Accounts
According to Jennifer Slegg over at Jensense.com, webmasters with MFA (Made for Adsense) sites are getting emails from Google stating that their business model is unsuitable and that their Adsense accounts will be disabled as of June 1st.
WOOHOO!!! YeeHA!!! and it’s about time!
FYI - Webmasters with MFA sites send quanitites of inexpensive pay-per-click traffic to their sites for the sole purpose of having visitors click their Google Adsense or other contextual advertising network ads such as the Yahoo! Publisher Network (YPN). The business model is known as arbitrage.
These sites contain absolutely no content. No informational articles, product endorsements, news or anything else a good affiliate / publisher would place on their site.
Here is a graphic image of a site that came up after searching for ‘running shoes’ at at SearchFeed. Read more

Adsense Earnings Up by 512% in December
Unlike Joel Comm, I’m not a Google Adsense guru. I’ve never tried to become an Adsense guru, as I’ve always believed that earning a percentage of product sales as an affiliate was preferable to earning a percentage of a click on an Adsense ad. Too, I was worried that sending visitors away from the site through Adsense would decimate my product sales as an affiliate. Lastly, I didn’t want to eat up too much site real estate by displaying a bunch of obvious ads.
Well, my stance has changed completely. During December, my Adsense earnings increased by a whopping 512% over the previous month. As you will see in the screenshots included, November’s earnings were $292.98 while December was $1500.06. Page impressions, Clicks, Page CTR, and Page eCPM all increased as well.
The increase is particularly remarkable from the standpoint that I did not set out to increase my Adsense earnings. As a matter of fact…
- As part of a traffic quality test, I actually suspended a pay per click campaign that had been delivering 2000 - 2500 clicks per day to Sage-Hearts.com.
- I also removed the Adsense ads displayed at the top of the pages at Sage-Hearts.com.
- Product sales during the period actually increased as well.
So why did the earnings increase so much? Well… Read more

Chitika ShopCloud$
Chitika has launched an official forum for its publishers and the first thing I noticed was the post about their ShopCloud$ which displays popular products in a tag cloud format, and where each product is linked to paid (CPC) search results featuring listings (i.e., deals, promotions and offers) from hundreds of name brand merchants.
All user clicks on the merchant listings will generate CPC revenue. This is what the ShopCloud$ tag cloud looks like… Read more
