Atniz: yes, it’s 40%. I agree it’s better to cut out the middle man, but at least they give you exposure to a network of people interested in placing ads. Without that you’re on your own. I’ve never tried selling my spots directly because I don’t think I have enough traffic yet. Have you had much success with this?

I’m not using performing ads as they charge huge fees. If I’m not mistaken it is 40% or something. I prefer to sell the ad slot myself. Other than that, adsense is still working for me.

Adsense still the best choice for my opinion, but if our visitor target mostly came from us we can try Yahoo and also adbrite, specially for adbrite if the traffic came from us/europe we can get more highly click rate rather than others country.

Prevodi: true, but one of the reasons they’re displaying it may be because of the affiliate payout for referring new publishers or advertisers.

I see a lot of THE BIG GUYS having this banner so there must be something on this. AdWords and AdSense are so obvious that many hate to click on it.My opinion only.

Myron: d’you mean from an advertiser point of view? They’re quite different models: in AdWords you only pay when your ad is clicked, whereas with PA you pay a flat rate to display your ad for a set period. I guess you could say they’re complementary systems, although I have no idea if people actually use them together or not.

It’d be interesting to find out if one is more effective than the other – let me know if you find out.

This might sound a tad trite but how does performancing ads stack up against adwords?

Yan: I haven’t reached the payment threshold yet either. So far I’ve had 5 or 6 bookings between two blogs I have it on, but I’ve set the price pretty low for now. It’s not even pocket change yet, but at the moment I’m concentrating on building traffic, so anything the site earns is a bonus.

By the way, Rod…how much have you made from PA anyway? The only booking I had was 3 months ago and since it will never reach the payment threshold, I have took it off since.
