Performancing Ads has certainly paid off for several of the people who signed up through my site. I have to say I’m surprised. I expected one or two high traffic sites to sell ads, but not as many as my stats show. Seven people who joined from my site have now sold ad space on their sites. I have no idea what they charged, but at least one person told me they are getting paid $5 per week. Not bad!
The sad news is I haven’t booked any ads on Turnipofpower.com yet. But I get paid for signing people up, so it’s a win-win situation for all involved. Please, if you haven’t signed up yet, use my Performancing Ads link.
Performancing Ads Bug Fix: As an added bonus, I found a small bug in the Performancing Ads WordPress Plugin. It only affects certain themes. What happens is the plugin creates an unordered list. You end up with a dot or whatever your list custom image is, next to the ad block. In my case I had one of my tiny little turnip icons next to the ads, throwing all the spacing off. The fix is to edit perfads.php directly from the WordPress plugin editor. Simply delete the four highlighted lines in the picture below. If you don’t need the fix, no reason to try it. I’ve applied this fix to two blogs so far without issue.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a Trackback **********I knew there was something wrong with the spacing! But instead of fixing it (I dont know how), i took in another ad so that I won’t have to. heh. Thanks for the tip
Wow, that’s really nice of you to fix that code. I’m hoping that soon performancing comes up with a code for blogger… or I move to wordpress…
Performancing Ads exceeded my expectations also. It is a really good system for bloggers that are trying to make a little cash. For the top dogs they don’t really need to worry about using this.
I’ve tried Project Wonderful, but pulled it out of all my blogs after about 3 weeks of blank spaces. That doesn’t look very good to readers who are thinking about putting an ad up. I might try your ideas. Thanks!
MEL: Let me know when you are ready to get your own hosting, I’ll come up with a special deal just for you, since you already own a lovely turnip shirt.
Hello Turnip! I just signed up through your link - waiting for my password.
Good luck getting ads!
Nice one Turnip, actually I have a 3 column site with 2 columns of widgets and the fix moved all the widgets to one column. I redid and just deleted the top 2 lines of code and that’s worked. Now I’ll see if I can monetize this widget
I’ve just signed up with P. Ads
Hopefully I haven’t come late to the party and missed the boat. Quick question, can you see which sites you have referred or do you just get the credit and that’s it?
Dud: It shows me 3 things. The number of people I signed up, the number of ads booked on people I signed up, and the amount of money I’ve earned on my own ads. I don’t actually see who signed up. So far I’ve had my own ad booked twice. 10 other ads have been booked. Thats roughly 1 in 3.4 people having an ad spot booked.
I like performing ads, but their site is not easy to navigate. I don’t blame you, Turnip!
Right you are Stalker. I went there today and see they added a new feature allowing you to run your own default ads. Unfortunately they didn;t announce it anyway, just had white space appear one day. On the bright side, I’ve now sold 5 adspaces through them myself.
Well performance ads don’t always respond to emails if you have issues with signing up…
Chronic: I wrote them two letters so far. The first letter they responded within 24 hours. The 2nd letter I have now been waiting 2 days for a response. It seems they had some coding issues causing some strange behavior on their site. I’m a little annoyed by their lack of cummication myself, but am not ready to abandon them yet.
Thanks for the information. I’ll retry to email them.
