My little square graphic ad through Project Wonderful on Kristen's Guide has been doing pretty well for a new ad listing. Usually it takes at least a month before I start to see any profit from ad networks (and then it's a pathetic couple of pennies). The revenue from this one is slowly increasing daily, but it's pretty impressive growth for the the first 12 days. (The bids are already at 1/2 of what I used to charge for manual placement of graphic square ads.) I guess it's because I put it in a prime eye-catching position. I placed it right next to the Entrecard widget, so visitors ready to drop cards will readily notice the ad, and anyone reading articles will likely notice it because I don't have many graphics above the page fold, and it's the first graphic ad.

Since that little spot has been so effective, I've decided to try out replacing one of my AdBrite skyscrapers (my most popular one) with a Project Wonderful skyscraper. My AdBrite ads are only making pennies lately, are of inconsistent quality, and dramatically slow down the loading of my site, so I've been on the hunt for something better. Maybe Project Wonderful is it.

Of course, I'd certainly be doing better if I could get more visitors. (Maybe I should get a website pimp.)
