AdMoolah News and Views

In a NY Times article published today, is going to launch it’s AdSense competitor tomorrow (Wednesday). This has been talked about for a while now, but it looks like its finally going to happen.

I think this is good news for the whole PPC industry. Competition is always good, and we should Yahoo and Google push each other to bring out better features, and (I hardly even dare to day it) maybe even better revenue shares for publishers.

I know I’ll be signing up as soon as I can to try it out. I may need to update the site to allow entries for both AdSense and Yahoo publisher network.

Now we just need Microsoft to join in on this too.

I can’t wait.

Found via John Battelle’s SearchBlog.

It’s a new month so get you July earning records into the AdMoolah database. Just go to the input page.

It’s July 1st so it’s time to submit your AdSense earnings for June. Just got to the input page.

Thanks!

We have introduced two new special queries. The Grouped by Category and Grouped by Language queries let you view the data in the database by groups. I find this a very interesting way to view the data.

Some things to note:

• English language sites average more than double the money of the other languages.
• The two most popular categories are blogs and computers. The computer category averages almost 5 times more than the blog category

We have launched AdMoolah Forums. We have forums
for AdSense Tips and Tricks,
General AdSense Discussion,
Earnings Spam, and
Site Comments and Suggestions.

Please feel free to start or join in the discussions!

It’s time to submit your May earnings. Currently we have 199 registered users and only 179 earnings entries, so we need more people to submit! I hope it was a profitable month for you.

I have added a feature where you can now edit any of your earnings records. When you are signed in, a new “Edit My Earnings” option is available on the left side navigation bar. Click it and you will see a list of all of your earnings submissions, each with an “edit” link. You can change any of the fields in the record you choose.

Here is my current to do list of user facing functionality. They are listed roughly in order of priority:

• Edit earnings entries – allow users to edit submissions – done
• Favicons in results – in the results screen, show a favicon from the site beside the earnings amount
• Prohibit month and URL duplicates – if a submission is done for a an existing URL that already has an entry or that month, don’t allow it
• Delete saved queries
• Edit saved queries

If you have any other suggestions, let me know.

I have added some stats to the site-info page. You can now see the current number of users and earnings submissions that are in the system.

We have added a feature do that earnings results can be ordered. The query page now has a sort option at the bottom. It also includes a check box to do reverse order sorts.

Check out the query page.
