We’ve had a few different locations over the last year and a bit, but it has been a while since we’ve made a solid office upgrade!  While we aren’t officially in this new office (at least on paper), until the beginning of November, the land lord has let us move in and start working here early.

Since I thought it our office might interest a few of you, I’ve snapped a few pictures.  It is located in beautiful Port Moody, British Columbia, roughly 30 seconds from the inlet.  We’ve got a Starbucks within 100 feet of the building and Rocky Point is only five minutes away.  Whats especially great about this office is we have plenty of space to expand if need be.

On top of two bathrooms and a kitchen, there is also a board room with a giant 46″ LCD screen for slide shows and stuff.

No office image collection would be complete without the token bathroom shot!

Hope you like our new office!

Great news everybody!

We have officially enabled revenue sharing through Chitika on top of our current Adsense sharing.

How does Chitika revenue share work on Infobarrel?

We’ve spent the last two weeks testing earnings and click through rates using Adsense and Chitika in different positions.  After a few different tests we’ve come to the conclusion that combining both Chitika and Adsense in the current layout provides greater earnings than just Adsense alone.

Simple signup for Chitika, add your Chitika login to your Infobarrel account, and as soon as we verify your account you can begin earning money with Chitika

Benefits to Chitika

One of the really cool things about Chitika, is members can get paid via paypal after accumulating just $10, so making the monthly payment minimum will be much easier.

Things to know about Chitika

After getting your Chitika account fully functioning with Infobarrel, you will start seeing ad impressions in your Chitika account the following day.  It will not show earnings for roughly 3-5 days as Chitika’s earning’s reports are all audited.

That is about it! Signup for Chitika today and add another passive revenue stream to your content here at Infobarrel!

Hey guys,

After placing Chitika ads at the bottom of our articles, we’ve noticed the click through rate for this position to be extremely high.  So since Google Adsense generates substantially more than Chitika, we’ve decided to replace the right Google rectangle ad found on most pages with a Chitika ad, and we’re going to place a Google Adsense banner below every article.

We are hoping this increases the Google Adsense CTR by a couple percent, resulting in more money for our writers.
Chitika and Revenue Sharing

As you may or may not have noticed, we’ve been experimenting with Chitika over the last week.  Our goal is to add it in conjunction with Google Adsense without having it reduce Google Adsense CTR.  Rest assured if we decide to keep Chitika on the site we will be applying the identical revenue share to Chitika as we are using with Adsense.  In order to see if it is financially viable we need to test it across our entire inventory or articles.  We should have some solid numbers to base our decision on by the end of this week.

In the mean time, signup for Chitika so when we launch their ads to our users you are ready to go!

We’ve got some great news here at Infobarrel.com

We are going to be expanding the ways that authors can make money here on Infobarrel in the very near future.  In the coming days you may notice Chitika ads on your content.

Don’t worry, we are just testing it out.  Provided the ads are capable of earning some money, you will soon be able to add Chitika to your Infobarrel profile and earn 75% of the revenue generated by the ads!  This means more money for our writers!

What else is nice about Chitika, is they can pay by Paypal or check.  As long as you make at least $10, you will get a check every single month!

If you want to signup for Chitika now, and have your account ready for when we launch, you can sign up using this link.
