I have been testing Project Wonderful for a couple of weeks now so I could give a report on what I think of it. I don’t have a lot to say. I like the idea and I think it is an idea that could work very well.
It is missing a big influx of advertisers. Many of the customers seem to be other blogs just tossing around the same amount of money that they have earned. Not many people are putting money into it.
You need an Ebay or Amazon to begin injecting advertising dollars into Project Wonderful to make it work well. If you could start landing some large advertisers it would make Project Wonderful a very true competitor in the online advertising scene.
The idea is good, now comes the hard part. Project Wonderful needs to hire staff to land the big clients and make it tick. If you want to make an extra chunk of change this is a decent program.
Heck, it would be awesome if them big companies are willing to bid on our Ad Boxes, aye?
More moolah for us!
Many, many Etsy sellers use PW. In fact, they make up the majority of my advertisers. Perhaps there is some way that Etsy and PW can work together.
I’ve made about $1 in one week. I don’t quite understand how it works – Seems like lots of people buy the spot for 5 cents then cancel after about 2 or 3 hours and only pay a penny or less for the post. It would be great if I was earning $5 per spot like Entrecard does.
[...] I did. Over at Sheeptech they did a post on my head that you see all over the place (Entrecard and Project Wonderful) and someone posted an ad right below my head that was of a persons upper body. Pretty clever if [...]
Per usual, there is a good idea and someone finds a way to scam it. So far, I am up on traffic with Entrecard, but as far as any profit from ads with PW they can rename it Project-not-so-wonderful.
Good thing I don’t blog as income!
Hi there, I’ve been visiting your page fairly often lately because of Entrecard, gotta say that you have a very nice layout and some good articles.
Feel free to stop by and enter into my contest sometime

PW is definitely not working for me. I had one advertiser but then they split without even paying the 2 cents that I would like to charge on my blog. I was thinking of giving it a little more time andd then trashing it if it can’t pay the measely 2 cents that I want! LOL!
hey i know this post is old but its new to me and it was a great write up. the money im making from it is very dismal. Im averaging maybe 2 – 5 cents per day. Im getting decent traffic (alexa: 230,000) but no one advertises. Im going to drop it down to one block and make room for adgitize, ive been doing about 25 – 50 cents a day with that.
Great to hear other experiences from Project Wonderful. What I love most about Project Wonderful is that, you can get your profit in real time! It has an open system where advertisers can see the traffic and you can cancel your bid anytime. I think Project Wonderful would be the next big thing, it needs more exposure and more advertisers. But I saw sites on Project Wonderful where they are earning like $100 per ad box, so that is really so interesting to note, and amazing! I think, it takes time to build the advertisers trust, and I think you really need to work on your site’s traffic and use the system also to advertise yourself, it takes time, no model is perfect, but what project wonderful does is it place you in control. There are major brands that found project wonderful through my site and they were like, I can’t believe it on other sites, I’m paying like $150 per week, while in Project Wonderful, I can advertise in just one cent! So I think, if major advertisers discover that this ad network is very cost effective and very transparent, then it will defeat the traditional adsense, adbrite and adify formats. I think if a cartoon site can make $100 on a single ad box, is a great inspiration for publishers to really work hard and build their site, connect with advertisers.
I’d love to move to cloud computing in the future, but I run an online banking site. ,
