Check out this months featured money maker. 
What does facebook, myspace, and possibly digg have in common?
Well, not to long ago Facebook launched it's own pay per click advertising system. Instead of letting a place such as Google manage the advertising, they decided to have advertisers advertise direct with them. Facebook's advertising platform has made many people a lot of coin because it was different than the traditional model of advertising. Most places that you buy advertising from direct from a website either charged a flat rate fee or on a CPM (cost per 1,000 ad views) basis.
Doing the Cost per click model has really transformed marketing because now you only pay for actual traffic rather than "exposure" of an ad regardless of clicks.
After seeing the success of facebook's advertising platform, myspace jumped on board earlier this year by launching MyAds. MyAds is also a cost per click platform which allows you to advertise on myspace.
Just this morning I was reading some articles on TechCrunch, and saw that there are rumors of Digg launching their own advertising platform.
With over 58 Million+ page views a month, Digg really could become an amazing revenue source for affiliates who take advantage of this new advertising platform.
That being said, be on the lookout for when it is launched as the first people to get on the system have a good chance of making a lot of money just like what happened when facebook and myspace first launched.
wonder what kind of stuff diggers will buy? i’ll surely jump on it as soon as possible. I’ve been absolutely killing myspace…
90% of Diggers are ad-blocking commies with no money anyway.
This will not be as lucrative as it might sound.
It all depends on who you market to and what you market. No matter what, there is a lot of money to be made in that demographic… just gotta figure it out.
Having the attitude that it’s not worth it is the surefire way to stay poor.
Great fucking post , now we have 10 more people checking to see when digg ads launches nice one reeee
Kats outta the bag now Volk. Good job.
Seeing as it was on TechCrunch which has 1.7 million subscribers, I’m pretty sure that my post has about 1/100000 the effect it does when they post.
If a website is big enough it makes sense to do your own advertising program and increase your margins. Congrats Digg.
I think it is just the way the web works. Information flows no matter what. If Digg wants to put up ads the only question is “when” not “why”.
It has “opportunity” written all over it!

wooho, big news..
I am sure Digg would make a lot of $$ from it..
yeah, the only problem is digg traffic sucks big time, not worth the money.
I think DiggAds or whatever will suck. Their traffic is always awful quality.
I am going to have to agree with some of the comments here about digg traffic being horrible, I am just starting out in Affiliate Marketing but I have been an avid Digg user for about 2 years, and If its one thing I know Digg users Hate AD’s, Shop around for everything, and Never buy things that are not necessary, Digg has also been known to have the highest intelligence community of the social networks..
It is great that Digg is going to release there own CPC system but that will not be for a while, They still have about 2 years (I believe) left with Microsoft, They signed a 3 year deal.
digg traffic is useless, it’s same like unleashing a bunch of robots on your pages, they create only traffic.
Haa? Digg also will do something like that? ehm..
It is common sense that if digg wants to make money, its users need to make money too. Why would they not jump on to the bandwagon. Thanks for the news.
