Bindu Reddy has updated Likeaholix – and the new updates provide a way for someone to make a little extra money via targeted Twitter and web site campaigns on things that truly interest you. My average CPC on Google Adwords is about 4 cents per click, and people just don’t click on Google Ads that often to make it interesting. Right now it takes over six months just to hit the minimum payout amount of 100 dollars from Google. Enter MyLikes, my CPC is 23 cents per post/tweet that someone clicks on. Yeah, I can work with that.

What I like about this too is the quality of the companies participating. Unlike Izea/Social Spark/Pay per post – there are companies here that make sense for where I blog and my interests. Meaning I am more likely to use this in my blog and twitter entries than I am to use Izea. In my experience with Izea, I have only written three sponsored posts for them in the two years I have been participating because of the lack of great technology products or services. This is also an issue with a number of other technology companies, rather than focus on the minor digerati – technology companies tend to focus on the big scores they can get at Mashable, Techcrunch, or Robert Scoble.

Mylikes makes this more interesting for the minor digerati – those without their tweets showing up in Google’s real time search. Using Mylikes to not only make a little cash, but showing off that you can be an influencer in the technology community might not hurt your blogging career. Depending on how many click throughs happen from what you tweet and blog about it might just end up being a better way to bring in operating costs for your blog than AdWords. The better part is that in some respects the idea is better than simple ads, which have caused controversy, as long as it is properly disclosed.

That will end up being the bigger issue, so far on MyLikes I have not seen where I need to disclose that this or that will be compensated if you click. However in an interview on Regular Geek – she takes on Izea/Social Spark directly and discusses how her program is different.

Besides disclosure this is a great new feature of Likeaholix which I am a huge fan of already especially with the ease of use and the integration between my Amazon account and my Likeaholix account. Overall cool new stuff from Bindu and worth checking out.
