I am using Project Wonderful for five months until I finally decided to let it go. I’ve signed up with Project wonderful in hope of gaining additional blog income out of it through private advertisers. Too bad the results weren’t as desirable as I’ve expected. No offense to Project Wonderful, they are wonderful on what they are doing.
The problem is the advertisers and their strategy. First, if there are no other advertisers in your site, the first advertiser charge is free. Ad space in Project Wonderful is sold through bidding. So when no other person bids on your blog, you won’t get a penny. This happens when you do not set a minimum bid in your blog.
Secondly, some advertisers do not even advertise for the whole day. They just advertise for a few hours then leave. So if you just charge $0.01 a day in your ad space, you won’t get anything too. Then come back again after and few days and do the same thing over and over again.
Another thing is, in Project wonderful, you have no actual control on your blog advertisers. What if their ads are offensive? Unless you visit your Project Wonderful ad, you won’t know that those offensive ads are shown in your site. This happens if you choose the auto approval on ads option. However, if you opt for the option, Let me approve all ads, chances are, your ad queue would always be filled up because of the small pricing. Sometimes, ads that are shown in your site are not related at all with your blog content or they clash with your site design, worst, their banners maybe inappropriate too.
For four months, I’ve earned at least $45, to think that my site has an average of 8,000 page views a day

You might also want to try Etology. I’ve been using this service for a few months now and so far I’m quite happy with the results. Project Wonderful is nice, but I wasn’t happy with my overall earnings. Therefore, I started searching for something better and eventually found Etology. One of the nice things about Etology is that you can set your own prices, which in the long run equals higher earnings. You can check out this review that I wrote for more info.

Really nice reason to leave Project Wonderful. Finally I’ll remove PW ads from all of my blogs.
