First Facebook, Then Myspace, Now Digg?

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.
