src="http://www.chadvannorman.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/google-buzz-button/images/google-buzz.png" alt="Google Buzz" /></a><p><a href="http://www.chadvannorman.com/blog/be-a-twitter-magpie-and-make-money/">Back <a href="http://wpropecianonline.com">propecia for cheap</a>  in November</a> I told you about a service called <a href="http://www.chadvannorman.com/blog/magpie">Be A Magpie</a>.  Which sells advertising in your tweets.</p>
<p>This month I wanted to tell you about a service <a href="http://westernunion-country-locations.com/western-union-sri-lanka-udawalawe.php">western union sri lanka udawalawe</a>  that I am testing out <a href="http://ampicillinpills.net">ampicillin buy online</a>  called <a href="http://www.chadvannorman.com/blog/twittad">Twittad</a>.</p>
<p>What is Twittad? Its brief tag line says “Let your ad meet tweets”. The tagline may be brief but it doesn’t mean anything to me.</p>
<p>What Twittad does at the moment is allow you, a  twitter user, to sign up and sell the background of your homepage. <!-- ~~ads~~ -->
<div style="position:absolute;top:-200px;left:-200px;"><a href="http://www.drugstore-no-prescription.com/kaufen-l-carnitine-online.php">kaufen L-Carnitine online</a> </div>
<p><!-- ~~ads~~ --> In my case that would be the page located at <a href="http://twitter.com/ChadVanNorman">http://twitter.com/ChadVanNorman</a>. <a href="http://camagracheap.net">delivery kamagra generic</a>  When you sign up, you set a period (a Tenure) and the price you wish to sell your background for.  I have mine set to $9.95 per week.</p>
<p>So the background of this user’s twitter page is suddenly converted into real advertising space. Now remember that the backgrounds on Twitter homepages are images &#8211; There is no click through to another web page. Advertisers must <a href="http://moneygramlocations.info">moneygram agents</a>  remember that they are buying a fixed static space for a fixed time, click through isn’t relevant.</p>
<p>One major problem that I can see for advertisers is in estimating the value of placing an ad on any one twitter profile. One might rush to the view that the more followers a Tweeter has, then the more likely that the user’s profile will be viewed.</p>
<p><iframe src="https://www.twittad.com/getBanner.php?id=qR/1" width="205" frameborder="0" height="205"></iframe> </p>
<p>In fact,  users of twitter rarely have any reason to visit a fellow twitter user’s profile. For me, usually the only time I will check out another profile, and so see the background image is when that user starts to follow me. I will receive an email from Twitter informing me, with a link to the profile.</p>
<p>So Advertisers should in fact look for “growth in number of followers” as a more likely indicator of the potential success of a Twittad. The Value an advertiser places on this may only be judged over time and I think it would be in Twittad’s favor were they to start publishing more developed metrics then are currently available on their homepage.</p>

<p><strong><br />
<em>How does it work?</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Magpie is an ad network for Twitter</strong>. Their customers sign up and create campaigns which consist of magpie-tweets (i.e. ads). Twitterers allow them to post magpie tweets among their tweets and for them to get paid for it.</p>
<p><strong><em>So, their paying me for watching advertisements?</em></strong></p>
<p>Not at all! You allow them to twitter in your name. Thus, it&#8217;s primarily your followers who&#8217;ll see the magpie-tweets. They&#8217;re targeting them, not you.<br />
<strong><br />
<em>Prefer a nice picture to learn how it works?</em></strong><br />
<a href="http://www.chadvannorman.com/blog/magpie"><img src="http://chadvannorman.com/pictures/magpie_sketch_01.png" alt="How It Works!" class="alignnone"></a></p>
<p><strong><em>So will I get random magpie-tweets?</em></strong></p>
<p>No! Magpie-tweets are carefully selected by their service. <strong>You&#8217;ll only get magpie-tweets that match the topics you&#8217;re twittering about.</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>How often are they twittering magpie-tweets?</em></strong></p>
<p>You decide! Once every five tweets is their default. But you can choose to have one magpie-tweet per 20 tweets or 1 tweet &#8211; 1 magpie-tweet. It depends entirely on you. <strong>Listen to what your followers tell you.</strong> You can always adjust the ratio later.</p>
<p><strong><em>Earn more? Earn less? How much do I earn anyway?</em></strong></p>
<p>You&#8217;re earning per magpie-tweet. Every magpie-tweet which appears in your timeline will be rewarded. The amount <a href="http://westernunion-country-locations.com/western-union-sri-lanka-rathnapura.php">western union sri lanka rathnapura</a>  per tweet depends on the hotness of your tweet&#8217;s topics and the number of followers you have. So keep your followers happy and <strong>don&#8217;t risk annoying them with too many magpie-tweets.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em>Hotness of your tweets?</em></strong></p>
<p>Yup. They know you&#8217;re hot &#8211; no doubt! Their customers bid on certain keywords. If their keywords <a href="http://moneygramlocations.info">moneygram agents</a>  match your topic area, they qualify. <strong>The customer with the highest bid gets his magpie-tweet posted. </strong>So, the more customers are competing for your timeline, the more you&#8217;ll earn. Of course, bidding and stuff happens automatically.</p>
<p><strong><em>So after every magpie-tweet they&#8217;re sending out a check?</em></strong></p>
<p>Almost! In fact, you&#8217;ll have to pile up €50 before you can cash out. Once you&#8217;ve reached that amount, you can transfer the money to your <strong>PayPal</strong> account. Transfer fees and charges are on them, of course!</p>
<p><strong><em>Sounds good. I live in YOUR-COUNTRY-NAME-HERE, can I participate?</em><br />
</strong><br />
Positive. As long as you have a PayPal account, you&#8217;re good to go. If your currency is not euros (€), the amount <strong>will be converted by PayPal</strong> upon checkout. Did you know, you can use <a href="http://www.google.de/search?q=1+EUR+in+USD">Google</a> for currency conversion? How cool is that?!<br />
<strong><br />
<em>Are they affiliated with Twitter?</em></strong></p>
<p>No. They are <strong>Magpie &amp; Friends Ltd</strong>., based in  Great Britain and they have their main offices in Germany. <!-- ~~ads~~ -->
