Project Wonderful vs. Google Adsense: 6-Week Review

In the early days of my Project Wonderful trial, a web site owner declared to me that it was far superior to Adsense, which surprised me greatly. For the first few days of my trial, Project Wonderful was breathing down the neck of my Adsense earnings. In the wee hours of the morning on February 5, Project Wonderful took the lead.

And then later that evening, Adsense re-took the lead and proceeded to leave Project Wonderful in the dust.

Project Wonderful: First Week Review

This is the end of my first week as an ad publisher on the Project Wonderful ad network.

It is clearly the ad network for small sites and small publishers. As long as you set a minimum bid of $0.01 for each ad box you put up, it should be pretty easy to to earn at least $0.01 per day per ad box, regardless of the amount of traffic you receive. You can withdraw funds when your account reaches $10, or you can re-route funds from ad publishing into placing ads of your own.

It does take a few days for your ad boxes to become established in the system. Your ad boxes don’t show up in a search until the next day. The average number of page views per day is tracked over the last five days, so if your ad box is less than five days old, you will be averaging in zeroes.

Project Wonderful: A Trial

I just learned about Project Wonderful, an advertising marketplace. It works on an “infinite auction” paradigm—basically advertisers bid a price per day for ad slots. As long as that advertiser is the high bidder for that ad slot, its ad is shown every time the ad slot is loaded.

Project Wonderful tracks page views, but ad rates are based on the auction, not on the number of page views. Using Project Wonderful does not appear to conflict with Google Adsense’s terms of use.

You can bid $0.00, so you could potentially get advertising for free.
