PhP1000 worth of free advertising on Google AdWords?

June 20, 2009 3 comments Advertising

I received an email from Google Analytics Philippines today about trying out Google AdWords. A PhP1000 worth of coupon, that I could use before July 17, 2009, was generously offered. I wasn’t really alienated by this as other advertising networks also have such but the thing that got me to really dig into the email was the currency – Philippine peso!

I was amused that all the links and email addresses looked legit. No scary hashes! Included in the email is a short FAQ on why advertisers should use Google Adwords and instructions on how to redeem the AdWords coupon.

I’m not decided yet to do anything about it but if you happen to see on your Google Adsense a link to this blog then this offer is TRUE and used it.

I don’t know if this is offered to everybody using these services from Google but if you’ve tried this, please let me know and how far will a PhP1000 worth coupon take me?

 

Google Adsense is for real!

The entry’s title is addressed to the reluctant boys and girls who still think that making money in the internet is nothing but a “Congratulations, you’ve won a million dollars and click here to claim” cow pie way back.

This blog alone gave me two payouts from Google Adsense this year. I spent everything on the June payout that I cashed out through Western Union. The next one, which I decided for December, will be used to buy an iPod Nano so I could rock the Christmas away! The green one should be perfect but I’d go for the classy black, dude.

Generating $100 USD entitles anyone serving Adsense for a payout. For a small blog such as mine that’s a hard target to hit but hell I’m just happy getting another payout, man!

There are four ways to earn from the Adsense program:

  1. AdSense for Search
  2. AdSense for Content
  3. Referrals (Ended but gave part of my revenue)
  4. AdSense for Feeds (That I haven’t tried yet)

Edit: Thanks to Orville! I could have gotten the Google whipping for showing those stats. :D

 

How’s Asiacenturyph doing?

October 10, 2008 10 comments Advertising

It was fun serving image ads from Asiacenturyph. The ad’s designs were very inviting and the turnout/earning for this site was promising. Though earning centavos from a stumbling Philippine currency I still have that faith that after a couple of months I’d finally get a decent payout.

That faith though have been stumped to the underground with mud, worms and all when I checked the domain http://www.asiacenturyph.com today! Their account has been suspended and the reason is the guys behind the project forgot to pay the bills? Hello? Well, hell!

I don’t know what really happened because they didn’t publish anything about having any problems at all. As if the constant bandwidth unavailability of the ads wasn’t enough. I sent them an inquiry that I still haven’t received any words from and I doubt to ever get any.

I wish them all the luck in the world though. The project was darn promising. With Nuffnang entering the local advertising scene I hope ACPH realizes the potentials that they’ve given up. (Continued…)

 

Cashed Out Thru Western Union

A continuation to Adsense Payout Through Western Union.

I had my last month’s Adsense payout cashed out today since most of Western Union outlets that I visited dont have Quick Cash. I was sending Kwarta Padala at MLhullier in Ayala Cebu when I decided to ask if they have Quick Cash. Well, they do and I don’t have my MTCN with me. So, I have to SMS my GF since she have the screenshot. She didn’t include the amount and which was actually the secret question that you have to provide for cashing out. Well, I missed a couple of centavos on my hunch because I was only concerned about the whole – exactly 0.09 cents. But that’s OK because a dollar is 44.40 pesos and the cashout is FREE of charge contrary to what I was expecting when reading Yugatech’s post.

Have all your Adsense payouts through Western Union, Filipinos! :D BTW, this is my second Posting@Office.

 

My Adsense Payout thru WUMT

June 1, 2008 5 comments Advertising

Google Adsense I will be using Western Union Money Transfer (Quick Cash) for this month’s Google Adsense payout. This will be the first transaction that I will be doing with WU. I don’t know anything about the process but to just visit the nearest branch with at least two IDs. Screen shots of the Adsense Payment History tab were taken for referencing purposes.
