If you are blogging, I suspect you are always looking for ways to increase your blog traffic. And you may be looking for ways to monetize your blog. I know I am!

If so, you may want to check out Adgitize. It’s a relative new program that has three components of interest for most bloggers:

• An affiliate program
• An advertising opportunity
• A publishing program

You can participate in one, two or all three of the options.

Joining the program is free. You simply sign up at the link above (yes, I am an affiliate).  At that time, you can copy the html code to add to your blog or web page that allows you to sign up other affiliates or to advertise other paying Adgitize blogs. You can also submit your blog to Adgitize to include in the code to be advertised on other publisher’s blogs.

The payout can be by check or through Paypal.

The cost to advertise your blog is $14 per month. But, you may make that up through the affiliate or publisher Adgitize programs.

As an affliate, you receive 5% of the monthly value that anyone you refer earns. In addition, you receive $5 when someone you refer decides to place their blog as an ad the first time.

You earn points for posting blogs, viewing other Adgitizer’s blogs and other Adgitizers viewing your blog. All points are converted to a dollar value on the 20th of each month and payout is then made either through Paypal or via a check (minus an administrative fee).

So check it out! This may be a program of interest to you.
