UPDATE: Directions on requesting a YouData Adget for your blog can be found below. We appreciate you helping us fix advertising. Your readers will too!
Hello, fellow bloggers! Thanks for checking us out. We think you are going to like what we have to offer you, and your readers.
So your little web site, blog, or blog network is not so little anymore? And you’re trying to figure out how to make a little money (or more than a little) from the traffic your generating? Maybe just enough to cover your time, efforts, and costs, and keep the server going. Or maybe you’ve got aspirations to turn this into something big.
YouData has created a unique advertising model that is the first to provide true value to blogger, reader, and advertiser alike. It's a new way of looking at advertising - a way that is respectful of you, your craft, and your readers. No more annoying, irrelevant, flashy banner ads. No more irrelevant text ads that attract no click-throughs, and thus no revenues.
YouData's solution is the only to offer completely relevant ads to each individual visitor to your blog, regardless of what various topics (and keywords) happen to be on your blog at any time. It is the only solution that does so with out creepy cookies and behavioral tracking. It is the only solution that allows your readers to choose if and when they view ads at all on your site - 100% opt-in and invited. It is the only solution that allows you the option to donate ad proceeds your blog generates to your favorite cause or charity. And it is the absolute best solution for maximizing the revenue potential of your site.
What if you could tell your readers this?...
Sound good? Here's how to get started:
| 1) Create a Recipient Account. |
| |
Until our website is updated with self-serve account creation (coming soon!), we can work with you via email to get set up.
Set up is simple! Email us at monetize@youdata.com providing the information below:
1) Blog name (as you would like it to appear in the adget)
2) Quick description (for anyone who would like more info on your blog)
3) Blog URL (link to your blog)
4) PalPal account email (where should we send your money?)
Currently, PayPal is our only way to send money. If you do not have or want a PayPal account, our system will keep track of your earnings until another payment option is available.
Once approved and set up, we will reply with the embed code ready to copy/paste into your blog site. Easy!
|
 |
| 2) Create your own MeFile Account (optional). |
| |
If you don't already have one, we suggest creating your own MeFile and seeing what the system is like first-hand. After all, you are a consumer too. Your attention is valuable. Claim it as your own and corner the market on you!

|
|
| 3) Embed (copy/paste) a YouData Adget onto your blog site. |
| |
After your Recipient Account is created, you will be provided with embed code for our "5-Stack" Adget that can be copy/pasted onto your site.
YouData Adgets (widgets for ads) are non-invasive, plain vanilla wrappers for your MeFile visitors to access their own ads at your site.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR "SKINNY" SIDEBARS:
The image to the right reflects the actual size of the 5-Stack Adget. The dimensions are set to 234 x 495 pixels to accomodate five standard IAB Half-Banner graphics, the size in which advertisers are submitting for artwork. Unfortunately, for some sites this may require some expansion or redesign.
|
 |
| 4) Get your share as your readers sell their attention. |
| |
Within YouData's system, MeFile owners and relevant advertisers deal directly in a cash transaction for MeFile attention. When this transaction occurs on your site, you benefit with a cut of the action.
The blogger/host gets paid 2 ways:
1) Impression Splits.
When the MeFile owner reveals the graphic ad banners and collects the per-ad impression payment of $0.05 (up to $0.25 total if full 5 ads present), YouData pays the host blog an additional $0.02 per banner (up to $0.10 if 5 ads present).
2) Visitor Tips/Donations.
Following the banner impression, the text portion of each ad is revealed. The Give/Keep slider that appears near the top of the adget represents the "tip-jar" functionality where a MeFile visitor can set how much of their click-through proceeds to split with the hosting blog/site.
