			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.vikingblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/pwlogo.png" alt="pwlogo.png" align="left" />Last week I wrote that <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.vikingblogger.com/2008/02/06/trying-out-project-wonderful/" target="_blank">I had started</a> with <a href="http://www.projectwonderful.com" target="_blank">Project Wonderful</a>. This is the post where I show you some stats, and how to do it.</p>
<p>Project Wonderful is kinda like an auction site, where you bid on ad spots on other sites. The price is on a daily basis, and there are several houndred sites in the network with a daily price of under $0.10.</p>
<p>When I first started with the network I manually found the sites I wanted to advertise on, and bid the amount I wanted to pay. I got a couple of good spots, and I saw a CPC of around $0,10-$0,20. The blogs I advertised on where in my niche so the clicks I got where well targeted.</p>
<p>Then I noticed a function called &#8220;Campaigns&#8221;. With this function you can define a couple criteria which the sites you want your ad to appear on should meet. This could be anything from what keyword the blog should be about, how much traffic they get and the price range. (See image below)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.vikingblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/pw-campaing-search.gif" target="_blank" title="pw-campaing-search.gif"><img src="http://www.vikingblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/pw-campaing-search.thumbnail.gif" alt="pw-campaing-search.gif" /></a></p>
<pre>(Click to view full size)</pre>
<p>So, what I did where choosing the 125&#215;125 banner size. The site should receive at least 300 page views per day, and the bid should be below $0,10. Not that targeted, but there are a lot of blogs in their network, so it should be targeted enough. What I could have done as well is write something in the tags option. Like &#8220;blog, blogger, make money&#8221; etc.</p>
<p>I runned the campaign for about 3 days, and started it up again for one more day. This is how it went.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.vikingblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/pw-result1.gif" alt="pw-result1.gif" /></p>
<p>That where the first tree days of my campaign. As you can see the ad got 475,335 page views, and 911 clicks. (Where 649 where unique clicks) In total it costed me $30.16, and $0.03 per click. (or $0.05 per unique click.)</p>
<p><img src="http://www.vikingblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/pw-resutl2.gif" alt="pw-resutl2.gif" /></p>
<p>The last campaign I runned with the same setup. Got almost 200.000 views and 232 unique clicks for under $10. Not bad If you ask me. What you have to remember as well, is that my banner (and my viking) where shown almost 700.000 times! Thats some good branding.</p>
<p>What the stats dosent say is how many sites your ad is showing on. However you can see that in your campaign overview, and I where bidding on approx 200 ad spots/sites, and got the high bid on almost all of them.</p>
<p>When it comes to the quality of the traffic its hard to track since its a only a couple clicks from hundred of sites. But my overall stats look good, so I don&#8217;t think the traffic have been forcing it down.</p>
<p>As you can see there is absolutely possible to get some decent traffic for a decent price. I shouldn&#8217;t actually show you this today, since I will advertise the <a href="http://www.vikingblogger.com/2008/02/11/20000-entrecard-credits-contest/" target="_blank">Entrecard contest</a> this way. Hehe. <img src='http://www.vikingblogger.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>Anyway, if you are using Project Wonderful you could actually advertise on VikingBlogger for just $0,50 per day. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.projectwonderful.com/advertisehere.php?id=9888&amp;type=4" target="_blank">Click here to place your bid.</a> </strong></p>
