Making Money With PerformancingAds.com

A new ad program was recently launched: PerformancingAds.com. I’ve been using it for more than 4 days now on 2 of my blogs and I find it better than a few other ad programs I’ve tried out. The genius behind PerformancingAds.com is that they’ve merged 2 ideas together… they’ve merged ad selling together with banner exchanges!
Merging Adspace + Banner Exchange = PerformancingAds.com
When you use PerformancingAds.com but all your ad spots don’t sell, they’ll use the un-sold spots for banner exchange purposes and drive free traffic to your blogs!
PerformancingAds Pros
1. Free Advertising: The biggest benefit of using them is their Exchange Ads feature. If your ad space isn’t sold, they will use the remnant space for banner exchange purposes. They’ll show other websites ads on the spots. And in return, you earn credits that can be used to show your ad on other blogs.
2. Book Your Own Spots: Another benefit of PerformancingAds.com is that they allow you to sell or use your own ad spots as you wish. So you could sell ads on your own too. Or promote affiliate programs.
3. Ease of installation. Installation on 2 of my blogs took all of 3 minutes. Its very easy to setup and start running.
PerformancingAds Cons
1. Low Payouts: As a publisher, you only get paid 60% of the ad money. So if you sell $500 worth of ad spots, they keep $200 out of it. (But they do allow you to book your own ad spots too. So you can sell ads privately and then list them up.)
2. Un-Transparency: The ratios for their ad exchange program isn’t revealed. And they give away free credits to sites whose ad spots sell. So you may not be getting the traffic you deserve.
Verdict
It makes good sense to start using PerformancingAds.com. Especially if you are an up-and-coming blog. But don’t forget to try selling ads privately too (as selling ads privately will always earn you more money).

I’m trying PerformancingAds now, but IMO the 60% payout isn’t that generous.

They have some serious problem with their statistics. A couple of my earnings disappeared lately after I changed a region. Also, today the ad serving is not happening thereby showing a blank area.

I agree with Lucas. 60% payout isn’t that generous. Let alone that the ads sell too slow. It would be a good idea for somebody to focus on their affiliate program as well.

I got my first payment earlier this month - still problems with the way they calculate earnings. I did not get all my referral revenue yet.
