ViralBlogAds is a new banner advertising network that has come up. It is very easy to join. It took me just 5 minutes to get registered, activated and also placed the ViralBlogAds 125X125 two ad slots on sidebar.

You can monetize your blog by placing 125X125 banner ads. Your accounts get credited when someone clicks on the ad(which is similar to google adsense or any other CPC networks).

REFERRAL COMMISION – ViralBlogAds is giving each approved Publisher who refers another Publishers 15% for life of all referral earnings. It’s not just a one-time referral payment. I think you should not miss this chance. Cool!

I am a regular visitor of Problogger and I found out a new Advertising Network called Performancing Ads. Many bloggers have started enrolling in that network. I also joined there. You know what! I got two 125X125 ad spots booked and are right now served on the right sidebar . The third spot is waiting to be booked!!!. It took just 1 or 2 days to get an advertiser using this network.

Something about Performancing Ads. It is ad marketplace. You can join as a publisher or advertiser based on your need. I joined as a publisher. For publishers, you create a region and put the ad slots on your blog and and advertisers go through the marketplace and purchase those spots. The price ads should be setup by you. The price you set is for per week (for ex: I have setup 8$/week). You earn 60% of the price and 40% goes to PerformanceAds. If you’re a “good publisher” by their metrics, then you can claim as high as 90% of the ad price. Ads are booked by the week and payments are transferred through PayPal.

According to Performance Ads, it is designed to sell only 125×125 ads. But they say:

If you are a publisher whose website receives over 250,000 US pageviews per month PerformancingAds may be able to offer you direct ad sales representation for your 728×90, 300×250 and 160×600 ad spots.

We have established relationships with brand advertisers and are able to leverage our network of sites to get high-value ad deals. If you’d like us to help sell ads on your site, a

I found PeformancingAds to be a great place to advertise. If your blog is performing well, then you will definitely do well. I was able to get a booking under 24 hours from being accepted in.

In my previous post, I demonstrated How To Geo-Target Ads based on visitors location.

Today i am going to use the same method that i mentioned in the above post to Display Chitika Premium Ads to US Visitors and Non Premium Ads to Non-US Visitors

But before that i recommend you to read the above post first and then continue reading this post.

First, let me explain why i am doing this. Chitika Premium ads are shown only to US traffic and no ad is displayed if the visitor is not from US. In this way, i am wasting that whole ad space.

After implementing the below method, you can also show Chitika Premium ads for US Visitors and eMinimalls ad for Non-US Visitors.

You can see chitika ad on the right sidebar just below Recent Comments section. If you are from US, you are seeing Chitika Premium ad and if not you are seeing Chitika eMinimalls Non Premium ad.

Implementing Chitika Ads using Geo-Targetting method on your domain/site:

MaxMind also provides a javascript which is placed on one of their sites. They say the uptime for the Javascript service is about 99.95%. So, you can go ahead and use it without any doubt in mind.

1. Use GeoIP Javascript Web Service.
2. Copy the below code just after <body> tag
   [lang='javascript'][/lang]
3. Place the following code where ever you want ads to appear based on visitors country
   [lang='javascript'][/lang]

A little explanation of the above code:

1. Here above geopip.js script is used which is added after <body> tag
2. geoip_country_code() function returns the country code that we are storing it in country_code variable.
3. Next checking if country_code is US or not

Below is my code which is added on the right sidebar just below Recent Comments section:

[lang='javascript'][/lang]

I have put Chitika Premium ad in chitika1.html and Chitika eMinimalls Non chitika ad in chitika2.html. Above i am using IFRAME tag to load Chitika ad in the right sidebar just below Recent comments section.

I hope this post helps you. In the same way you can Geo Target ads of any network.

Here on my site, i am also Geo Targetting ads of Axill Network.

Today, I am going to tell how i implemented Geo-Targeting Ads based on visitors country. Let me first explain Why Geo-Target Ads and How you can implement it on your domain/site or your blog.

There are some advertising networks who only pay if the visitors are from a specific country say USA or Canada. I serve Axill CPM ads and ApplyAds CPM ads. ApplyAds CPM ads pays for impressions only if the visitor is from USA or Canada.

If i place a ApplyAds leaderboard CPM ad and if the visitor is not from USA or Canada, I will not earn for that Ad space.

What if i want to serve Axill CPM ads for non-US and non-Canada visitor and ApplyAds CPM ads for US and Canada visitor?

The answer to this is : Geo-Targeting ads based on visitors location (country,city).

The below steps provided are only for self-hosted blog and website/domain . You can skip the below and scroll down to find the steps for those who have their blogs on sub domain like a blog on blogspot.com

Implementing Geo-Target Ads on your domain/site:

MaxMind provides GeoLite Country database. Download and unpack Maxminds geoip database. It’s free and is updated every month. Using it, you can find out what country a visitor came from based on the IP address. They say it’s 97% accurate.

1. Download the database and unzip (gunzip -d GeoIP.dat.gz on linux)
2. Upload the database file to your site.
3. Now you need API to query the database. MaxMind provides API in multiple languages so that you can use whichever you are comfortable with. Get the GeoIP API

I used PHP API to implement it on my site. You can pick and use any API with which you are comfortable and your hosting service is compatible.

The database is pretty big and if a returning visitor visits the site, the API queries the database again. To avoid redundant querying, you can store visitors countryCode in a cookie. This smart tip is provided at this site Geo target your visitors. I am also using it in this site

Implementing Geo-Target Ads on your blog hosted on blogspot.com or any other subdomain:

MaxMind also provides a javascript which is placed on one of their sites. They say the uptime for the Javascript service is about 99.95%. So, you can go ahead and use it without any doubt in mind.

1. Use GeoIP Javascript Web Service.
2. Copy the below code just after <body> tag
   [lang='javascript'][/lang]
3. Place the following code where ever you want ads to appear based on visitors country
   [lang='javascript'][/lang]

WidgetBucks and ShoppingAds are other advertising networks pay only for country specific visitors/traffic. You can go ahead, use it and see the difference.

This method will definitely increase revenue.
