Negative Earning in ShoppingAds

ShoppingAds is a really cool Publishing platform, Display hot products from top merchants on your website.

ShoppingAds allows you to make money by displaying relevant merchant ads on your website. When your visitors click on the ads you can make money on a CPC (cost per click) or CPA (cost per acquisition) basis. You simply tell us the relevant keywords of merchant ads you want displayed and we will display a matching ad.

But today really interesting thing happened with my account! I hope no ad publishers would have this experience till now!

I earned in NEGATIVE Amount ($-0.92). Thats like i am paying them for publishing Ads in my website! crazy!!!!

ShoppingAds Negative Earning

So i wrote them an email and i got this reply!

Hi there,

So we’ve contacted eBay, and apparently if you earn commissions for a winning bid and then the sale doesn’t go through because the buyer didn’t pay or the seller didn’t ship it, eBay will now retract your earnings because the transaction never really occurred.

This is brand new, CJ never had this policy.

Sorry for the unexpected change! Let’s hope this doesn’t happen too frequently.

Thanks!

web 2.0 and me

I know this web 2.0 thing has been a huge buzz word in the internet, and just today i was think if i am really using web 2.0 technologies to develop websites?

If web 2.0 is about having an interactive website, i have developed it, if its about about having rich media websites, i have designed that too… Still then i feel if i am developing in the right way?

Wikipedia defines web 2.0 as:

 Web 2.0 is a term describing the trend in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aims to enhance creativity, information sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among users. These concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies. The term became notable after the first O’Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, but to changes in the ways software developers and end-users use the Web.

Tim O’Reilly the founder of O’Reilly Media says:

Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform.

Some of the websites i developed which i think is web 2.0:

www.bhutanobserver.bt

www.pdp.bt

Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us - YouTube

Bhutan Observer - Revolutionary news website

Bhutan Observer started on 2 June 2006, but the Newspaper didn’t do well as they were not being able to compete with Bhutan Times and Legendary Kuensel.

Today with this revolutionary new website, they will surely take over Kuensel and Bhutan Times!

They have Bhutan News where you can read latest headlines, Citizens’ News for user contributed news, Editorial, Feature Story, Letters, Literary and Polls

The design and layout is very user-friendly, clean and easy to access all information, contents are posted regularly on various sections by some of the best editors and journalists of Bhutan.

Most of all it is designed by me!!!
