I received a phone call from Maggie McCarthy today - a representative at AzoogleAds.com - who informed me that I was a registered user in their affiliate program but have yet to log in since I joined.

I apologized to her and admitted that I really didn’t know too much about AzoogleAds.com and explained to her that I joined many months ago through a referral from John Chow but keep busy with many other programs.

The phone conversation went very well. She invested some time into learning more about what I do and the different programs that I participate in that have been working for me. Openly I explained to her that my primary programs that I use are Google AdSense and PepperJam.

As it turns out, AzoogleAds is very similar to PepperJam which both programs seem to give a new edge look at elements that I think Commission Junction are not. I have been a member of Commission Junction for a few years now and I have to admit that it has been a very rocky road for me. I have had good months but I’ll admit that most have been bad.

Explaining this to Maggie I also added that I joined PepperJam about two months ago and it has been a breath of fresh air. I have made more money with PepperJam than I have made my entire time using Commission Junction. I attribute that to the advertisers that PepperJam signs up in their program, the available banner ads, text links and tool, and the warm and positive atmosphere PepperJam harnesses.

I don’t know how other people feel, but when I log in to PepperJam, I feel very motivated and very positive. Their site design, navigation and system tools are very warm, friendly and easy to operate. All in all, its just good vibes when I am logged into their system, I feel the presence of community. I know that advertisers are logged in, I can see their online status, I can open up chat windows and speak directly with them.

I attribute all these elements to my success with PepperJam. It is by far more of a positive and interactive environment compared to Commission Junction.

I explained to Maggie that basically I have been on cloud nine since joining. The money is great, I particularly love the lead generation programs and it seems that the advertisers have worked hard towards creating very attractive and appealing banners, graphics and other creatives.

Having explained all that to Maggie, long story short is that I am in luck. AzoogleAds.com is a provider of similar services compared to Commission Junction and PepperJam. Opps… I have been speaking to her for 10 minutes, rambling on about how much I love PepperJam… Maggie asked me which advertisers I work with in PepperJam and then cross referenced these advertisers with the program they have in the AdzoogleAds.com system.

I am not going to mention any of the advertisers in this blog post because I am sure the internal data is confidential; however, I will tell you this, many of the advertisers I work with in PepperJam have also enrolled into the AdzoogleAds.com system and they pay publishers more money via the AdzoogleAds.com network compared to the PepperjamNetwork.

Now I am not downing PepperjamNetwork at all, I am a very active supporter of Kris Jones and the entire PepperjamNetwork. However, what I am doing is telling you that in this world we live in, especially those who are trying to make money on the Internet, that it might be a good idea to look into multiple options.

PepperjamNetwork is great. They beat Commission Junction hands down. However, what I wasn’t aware of was the fact that there are other networks just like Pepperjam. AzoogleAds.com is hot! If you haven’t joined their network, I would advise that you stop what you’re doing and sign up.

The AzoogleAds.com system is not quite as pretty or as well designed as the PepperjamNetwork. Their system isn’t as “User Friendly” and it feels more dry and clunky. There is quite a bit of white space and it requires quite a bit of scrolling on page to page. Really it gives me the same feeling as Commission Junction, meaning it doesn’t give me the sensation of being logged into a community driven system where I know that advertisers are logged in as if they were sitting right next to me at my desk. I feel somewhat alone and feel like finding support and help would be a little of a distance away.

While this isn’t true, as I know that I can contact Maggie anytime by phone, email and even instant messenger, their system just feels very dry and impersonal. On the flipside, let’s talk about functionality. AzoogleAds.com compared to Commission Junction and in many way compared to PepperjamNetwork has a clear lead.

For one, the advertiser offer descriptions are much better. When I review the offers from each advertiser, I am totally clear on how I can make money by promoting their business, product or service. Secondly, in AdzoogleAds.com, the tools available to create ad campaigns specific for blog posts, search engines or email are more recognizable and clear.

Overall my thoughts are this: If you’re wanting to make money online, I would recommend joining both PepperjamNetwork and AzoogleAds.com. While it is obvious that they are in direct competition with each other, I feel that both systems knock Commission Junction in the dirt. After joining AzoogleAds.com you may want to cross references certain advertisers and see which network will provide you with the highest commission. From what I have seen so far, the advertisers that I work with in PepperjamNetwork pay better in AzoogleAds.com.

Another element that I failed to mention that I attribute my level of success with using programs such as PepperJam, AzoogleAds.com and even Google AdSense is using a program called Micro Niche Finder. This is a software application that you can download to your computer that will aid you in finding targetable keywords phrases in Google that yield the highest number of searches on a month to month basis with the least amount of competition.

The latest version, MNF 3.03, has some newly added features such as discovering the cost of ads on particular keywords, Google Hot Trends analysis and a new random search for folks who might have writers blog and just need some really killer writing prompts.

If you haven’t ordered your copy of Micro Niche Finder, I recommend you do so quickly as the price is going to be increasing very soon. Right now the cost is very affordable at $67 dollars. This includes free updates and live support. Learn more about Micro Niche Finder. Simply submit your name and email address on this page and you can watch a demonstration video.
