Lisa are you a mind reader?

I like that kind of connection with people.

Even if they don’t know it…

I finally got frustrated with all the free banner rotators they seem to have horrendous support and issues.

So save yourself from the free stuff some things are worth paying for.

So I went with OIO also, I don’t have your traffic yet nor do I expect it in less than a year, but I’m still tinkering to figure out what people do and don’t click on.

Who Knows maybe I’ll never see the kind of traffic people dream of…

Saw this over the weekend in one of my research modes poynterextra dot org/eyetrack2004/main dot htm
Still having issues with tracking stats even with OIO…

My only issue with OIO is stats I don’t get any to display.

Any thoughts? I cheated and used their web installer maybe it’s broke.

Also tinkering with Google ad manager reminds me of my openx days… Not good.

Saw this over the weekend in one of my research modes poynterextra dot org/eyetrack2004/main dot htm.

Pretty interesting or scary however you look at it, but some good insight to assist anyone with setting up ads.

Well a little fragmented today welcome to the land of ADHD.

Thanks for the video.

Take Care

That was a very good and helpful video about OIO Publisher. I’ll make sure to purchase it through your link if I decide to go with it, unless you or somebody else comes up with a better alternative.

Hey Lisa,

Thanks for this excellent info. I’ve just started four blogs and want to advertise on all of them. I was wondering how this is done, and you’ve come along at just the right time to show me. Fabulous! Love your blog!

Hey Lisa, thanks for this video. I’m used to selling ads directly over email, but it’s nice to learn the new ways of doing it. Thanks for your help with that. :)

May I ask, what do you use to make your Youtube videos? In the past I used Camstudio to record my screen.

I use Camtasia for the screen recordings and Pinnacle Studios for the videos where you see me talking.

Hi,
I was wondering if you can update us on how it is performing. I do not have your traffic yet but 2000+ visitors a day and 3.4 views per visitor, so we can all save some time.

OIO Publisher is great. I have used it and this is a really great script for selling ads. You also get to keep %100 percent of your sales and another great thing is that it’s automated.
