Selling ad space is one of the many ways of how to make money online from website(s) aside from using third party service ads such as Google Adsense, Kontera and among others. However, finding direct advertisers (or let’s say “sponsors”) is a tough process unless a site is very popular and receive much amount of traffic every day. For advertisers also, it’s hard to find which is the suitable site to advertise their products and services. This is one of the reason why almost all site owners, especially bloggers, choose to go with the middlemen (ad networks) such as the popular Text Link Ads and LinkWorth to sell ad spaces. Though using these ad networks ensures to gain exposures for the site that sells ads, it is also a fact that they take commissions, thus it may result to the overpricing of ads which in turn the advertisers pays more. Plus, a site owner cannot earn 100% of the sales - however this can be outweigh by the exposure it brings.

Today, I just found a website called For Sale By Publisher, a directory of websites that sell advertisements on their websites directly to advertisers. If you have a website and want to sell ad space on it, try to join now - it’s FREE. Once you setup your profile, you can add your site details in the directory that includes description, pageviews, unique visitors, tags, contact method, and the type of ads that are available (text ads, image banners, interstials, email, or RSS). Alexa, Google PR and Compete stats are automatically added. Before your site will be finally addded in the directory, it must be verified by uploading a blank xxxxxfile.html in your server. Advertisers can then browse the directory and contact you directly for an advertising deal.

For Sale By Publisher concept is very beneficial for both advertisers and publishers (site owners). Advertisers can now easily locate which site(s) to advertise. Publishers can reduce the price of their ads since there’s no cut on the sales which in turn the advertisers will only spend less money. Reduce price on ads can help attract more advertisers and make more money. As a publisher also, one backlink to your site is also assured - take a look this one.

Visit For Sale By Publisher now, add your site (while still free) to the directory and start making money. Please don’t forget to spread the word about this great service.

Would you like to save money when you shop online  by using coupon codes ? If so, then RetailMeNot is all you need to have. RetailMeNot is a coupon codes search engine populated by users with discount codes for your online purchases. Finding a coupon code is just a seconds away, you just enter the URL of the store and you will then be presented with any coupons available for that store. You can also search coupon codes by keyword but I bet URL is the most easy way to find it.

Coupon Code Test Drive - Passed
What I buy online are only those intangible things such as domain names, web hosting, scripts and sometimes eBooks. I did a test to find out if the coupon codes are really available. I search NameCheap (for domain names) coupon codes and yes, the coupon codes are really there. I also search for my three hosts and it’s also been there. Overall, I’m satisfied with the results.

Even though you can only save just a few bucks on coupons, for example in buying domains, it’s a lot if you are a domain reseller purchasing/renewing hundreds of domain every year.

The Bad Thing
Most coupon codes have an expiration either a date, number of uses or whatever the online store implements. But on their copun code submission form, there doesn’t seem to be a field dedicated to this when entering a code. This means that the site will be populated with coupon codes that no longer work or were already expired and is useless. Since there’s no field for expiration, the search function also doesn’t have the ability to search codes that can be used currently.

ScriptDojo is a blog, though they called it a review site, about internet marketing scripts,  affiliate tools and product launches. Each product post, in a blog format, is not really a review about it but merely a description on the product. Below each post, it has a link where it will go to the sales page of the certain product. That link is designed for ScriptDojo’s unique Affiliate Program in which you can earn 100% commissions generated from your referral URL.

Highlights and Benefits
ScriptDojo’s affiliate program concept was not new to me and as I have remembered, I knew and joined one affiliate program which works very similar with them. But in your case, their concept might be different and you may only know it by now. Below are some of the unique benefits when you join ScriptDojo affiliate program.

1. Dozens Of Products To Promote
As I mentioned aboved, the products are posted in a blog format, thus, more and more products are added on a regular basis. If ScriptDojo post another product on their site, it will automatically become one of yours. In addition, with ScriptDojo you will be one of those who will know first about new products about internet marketing.

2. Earn 100% Commissions
When someone go to ScriptDojo’s site from your referral URL and purchase one of those internet marketing products, you will earn all the commissions.

3. Earn From Your Lists
Their site is just a blog format as I repeatedly mentioned and it has also an option to join in their mailing list. When you refer visitors to them and didn’t purchase any item but join in their mailing list, you still have a chance to earn from that visitors in the future. They will send email to their list with your affiliate ID encoded in it when there’s a product launches. Therefore, if your referred visitors that joined in their mailing list buy the new product launches (which they send through email), you will earn the commissions.

4. Earn From Your Affiliates
Same with the above process, you can make money from your afiliates if they buy on the new product launches.

As you might have noticed, their biggest asset would be the products itself as they will continually add new one at a time. However, it costs just $0.01 for the first 30 days (at the time of writing) and then $9.95 per month thereafter to stay with their affiliate program. This makes them again different from others since most affiliate programs are free. Visit ScriptDojo now and start make money online today with internet marketing scripts,  affiliate tools and product launches.
