Bambooclat dot com Money, affiliate marketing and the Rat Race

For three months now I have been looking into the online blogging world, specifically affiliate marketing bloggers. I have been paying special attention to guys like Problogger, Uberaffiliate and John Chow. I have looked forward to their daily post with anxious anticipation and I have even followed them to Twitter – the online site that is a hybrid mix of pinging and social book marking, which most profess will be the model of choice for tomorrow’s online marketing strategy

In my humble opinion, John Chow, the Chinese blogger that hails from Vancouver, Canada, is a blogging genius and a well recognize online affiliate marketer whose online success has been covered by the Vancouver news papers, the Entrepreneur Magazine and other respectable media sources.

He recently created TTZ Media an online ad network that operates just like Google’s Adsense, if not better. With TTZ media publishers can customize ads from a 728 * 90 head banner to the bloggers’ favorite, the 125 * 125 banner.

In all, publishers have around 15 ad display chooses, enough to find one to mesh with any website ambience and style. Speaking of ambience, TTZ affords great flexibility for changing the hue of the various aspect of the ad display, both during the ad generation process or by editing the simple code within the publisher’s site.

The ad network works by searching for products based on keywords that the publisher has selected at the time of generating the code, which is easily incorporated into the site. One of the advantage TTZ Media has over Google is that ads are randomly displayed based on the specific keywords that interest the publisher. Another, is the fact that ads with pictures are also accompanied with both text description and the price of the product.

The ad network pays a PPC rate 0.15 percent for Up to 1000; 0.18 for purchase ranging from 1000 to 2000; 0.22 for purchases between 2000, and a whapping 0.25 for purchases 4000 and greater. Added to the pie is a second tier level: if anybody clicks the TTZ link (normally displayed on the bottom right of the ad) and becomes a member within a week (which is the cookie life cycle, unless cookies are manually removed), publishers get second tier referral income of 10% for the next 12 months.

I have taken the liberty of signing up to the TTZ affiliate program and so far so good, except for a minor setback. Sometimes the ad does not load, but I suspect this might be an issue with my server bandwidth. If you are looking for a live example of how TTZ works, I have placed it on my site www.buydominica.com. I have not yet figured out how to place it in my blog – www.bambooclat.com

If you would like to diversify your affiliate income, give TTZ Media a try.
