    I did a 30 day trial and I'm quite happy with the results. I made $34.69 in one month. Now I know this is a measly amount but I've never made money online so this is quite exciting for me!

    I don't want to put up adsense or any other advertisements until I get alot more material and traffic is much higher, but I think putting up AuctionAds up early is fine.

    I have two niche blogs

    Blog A - gets 600-800 uniques a day - about 10 months old (made $12.77) ( this blog/niche is quite impossible to monetize, but researching more. TIP: Research your niche carefully!)

    Blog B - gets 280-350 uniques a day - about 2 months old (about $18.16) - This is my main blog I've just started and I can see alot of promise.

    That leaves $3.76 through failed bids or my one referal I have or whatever, not sure.

    I also have a tip that I haven't seen anywhere else:

    I've been wanting to rotate my AuctionAds keywords for various products such as:
    "dog ; cat"
    Code (markup):
    This is nice, but then you get dogs, cats, dog leashes, cat leashes, dog food, cat food, dog bones, cat bones, dog books and cat books when all you want are dogs and cats, so you need to use negative keywords.

    But it won't work if you add negative keywords such as
    "dog -leash -collar -food; cat -leash -collar -food"
    Code (markup):
    So I decided to do the rotation via PHP.
    First I added a function to display the script, I put it at the top in the file where I want it displayed, so that is in my "leftsidebar.php" file:
    I've emptied out all the lines with ------, so you have you generate the code on AuctionAds and paste them in the code.

    <?php
    
    function ad_script($kw) 
    {
    print "<script type=\"text/javascript\"><!--\n";
    print "auctionads_ad_client = \"------\";\n";
    print "auctionads_ad_campaign = \"------\";\n";
    print "auctionads_ad_width = \"------\";\n";
    print "auctionads_ad_height = \"------\";\n";
    print "auctionads_ad_kw =  \"".$kw."\";\n";
    print "auctionads_color_border =  \"------\";\n";
    print "auctionads_color_bg =  \"------\";\n";
    print "auctionads_color_heading =  \"------\";\n";
    print "auctionads_color_text =  \"------\";\n";
    print "auctionads_color_link =  \"------\";\n";
    print "auctionads_options =  \"n\";\n";
    print "--></script>\n";
    }
    Code (markup):
    Next, I add the products I wanted rotated, and last I create a random number variable.

    <?php
    
    $msg[0] = "Cats are really popular on Ebay at the moment!";
    $kw[0] = "cat -book -leash -collar -food";
    
    $msg[1] = "Why buy a dog when they sell cheap on Ebay";
    $kw[1] = "dog -book -leash -collar -food";
    
    srand((float) microtime() * 10000000);
    $rn = array_rand($kw);
    
    ?>
    
    Code (markup):
    Then I create the code to display the AuctionAds banner in my HTML area.

    <h2>Now on Ebay</h2>
    <?php echo $msg[$rn];?>
    <?php ad_script($kw[$rn]); ?>
    
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ads.auctionads.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
    </script>
    ?>
    Code (markup):
    Voila, I have working rotated adds with negative keywords and I can control what text appears for each product I want displayed.
