If you are looking for private ad sales and having a hard time finding advertisers Performancing Ads just might be the place for you, 125 x 125 ad format is becoming the most popular ad format with bloggers and  Performancing ads is an ad market place of 125 x 125 ads.Signing up for  the network is pretty easy, all you have to do is enter an valid em-mail address and you get a confirmation e-mail , and anyone can join the network regardless of there country , page rank , Alexa rank etc.Of course if you have a popular blog you can earn more money.

Adding a site

if you joined as a publisher the first thing you have to do is add a site or a blog. This is pretty easy and you don't have to give out lots of information. You have to fill the title , url , description , tags and then you have to select three categories. Make sure to select the categories relevant to your niche. After you register you can add as many sites as you want.

Adding a region

After you added a site you have to add a region to display your ads.There can be many regions per site. Regions define where your ads will be displayed , and of course closer to the top the region is more likelihood of advertising buying ad spots from your region. There are many options to customize the region to your liking , for example you can add nofollow tag to your ads , this will protect your page rank but might discourage advertisers. Below is the adding the region screen.And importantly you can specify how much you are charging for the ad spot.

Exchange Ads

In case your blog is relatively new and not that popular you might find it hard to sell ads, but Performancing ads has a solution for that as well.You are guaranteed to display some ads in there widget and in case they are not bought ads you earn credits for showing them. You can use this credits to advertise on other sites that have Performancing ads enabled. As far as I know how you earn this credits or how much credits you earn for displaying ads are not mentioned , I hope the administrators display a clear guideline of how you earn credits because I think that way people have some visibility.

Installing Performancing Ads

If you are a self hosted WordPress user adding this is very easy , download the plug-in and add it to your plug-in directory and activate is as usual.Then you can add the Performancing ads widget to your side bar and the ads will be displayed automatically.In case your them is not widget ready you can add some PHP code and get it to work.Although my theme is widget ready I used the PHP code instalation because it gives your more control like aligning them to the center etc.

Important Things to Consider

The market place is listed according to your Alexa rank so if you have a high alexa rank chances of you getting an ad bid is pretty high.Also they have a lifetime refferal program so you have a good potential to receive some passive income.You get 10$ for every publisher sign-up and and 5$ recurrence revenue for every time an advertiser buys an add. I hope I gave enough reasons to sign up for Performancing ads .
