Technorati Advertising Network for Bloggers - Any Good?

**JimmyK** · 18 March, 2009, 17:58 PM

Technorati has started its Technorati Advertising Network called Technorati Engage (still in beta) for Bloggers. Now bloggers can place different kind ads e.g. text ads, banner ads etc. Ads can be purchased from a single blog, from a category, or from a network of blogs etc and more and more.

Check it out: https://beta.technoratimedia.com/

As Google hates paid links, would this affect the PR of blog?

I just added my blog to Technorati Engage and my request is pending for approval. It seems a good program but lets see.

The text links will be like TNX system or something else? Any idea?

It looks like the ads are JavaScript, so they won't count as links:

Code:

		<!-- TCNM-00001 0 -->
		<script language="javascript">
  zoneIdentifier="DFA400577B659FC7";
  var varCheckURL = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
"https://" : "http://");
  document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + varCheckURL + "adcode.technoratimedia.com/bootstrap/tti.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));

</script>

Looks interesting. Maybe I will try it as an advertiser.

Thank for letting me know about this.

Thank you Will for your support. I have placed these ads on my website and will let you guys know about the results. I looks nice on there.

Can't reveal my website URL at the moment (sorry for that).

Any updates about Technorati Engage? I tried this on my blog but not even a single penny even after 3 days.

I will keep the ads on my website for another week and will see how it goes. Please keep us updated.
