Have You Heard about YouData Yet?

YouData I first heard about YouData a little over a month ago over at the kirtsy blog and immediately fell in love with its entire concept. Now Woman Tribune is benefiting from it and so can you.

Most people who run a blog are interested in monetizing it, and for good reason. Why shouldn’t people who pour countless hours into keeping their blog fresh and exciting get compensated for their hard work? To date, people are compensated for that work through advertising, sponsorships and even tip jars, but what YouData noticed is that while your attention is being bought all the time, it isn’t being bought from you.

YouData matches people with ads for websites they’re actually genuinely interested in through their MeFile profile. If you’re sick of being shown ads for websites, businesses and products you’re not interested in, like if you can’t book and suddenly see a website littered with foodie ads, or if you’re married or in an otherwise committed relationship and see a bunch of ads for Match.com, chances are you don’t care and you’re not going to click on that ad.

What I like about YouData is that it is extremely versatile. You are matched up with ads that chances are, you’re going to like, and you can view these ads on the YouData website, your favorite websites who have the YouData widget on their website, or even on your desktop so you can view your ads without even having to open your browser.

If you are interested in other ways you can monetize your blog, give people the option of checking their ads on your website. To get a YouData application code for your website, all you have to do is sign up here or email mailto:monetize@youdata.com with the following information:

  • Blog name (as you would like it to appear in the YouData application)
  • Quick description (for anyone who would like more information about your blog)
  • Blog URL
  • PayPal account email

And that’s all there is to it!
