The Adengage Results
Written by Khalid Al-Khames on April 21, 2008 – 12:01 am
I recently announced I was experimenting with purchasing real traffic in an attempt make money with a brand new site. Here is a quick breakdown of what I did:
- Setup Red Hot Wallpapers
- Added lots of hot and sexy images
- Put three ad units from three different companies
- Bought cheap traffic
- Attempted to make money
The three ad networks were Media Jump, Adengage and Adult Friend Finder. I spent under $20 on ads via Adengage and hoped for the best. I did manage to receive over 5,000 uniques and hundreds of ad clicks, but the revenue generated was nothing!
Adengage revenue for 60 clicks:
Adult Friend Finder revenue from 517 clicks:
Unable to measure Media Jump revenue as it fluctuates:
In short, I may have been successful if I had chosen a better niche with higher paying keywords. This was an experiment though and it did highlight one thing - chose your niche carefully!
If you chose a low paying niche and get $0.01 per click, you are going to have to generate 100 clicks to make a dollar. With a higher paying keyword in a different niche (earning $0.10 per click), you’d only need to generate 10.
Good luck with your persuits,
Khalid.

Hey Khalid, how would you suggest finding out which niche keywords pay higher?

Hey Harry, you could Google it to find the average bids of keywords or if you are with an ad network you can ask your account manager!
Hope this helps,
Khalid.
