I updated this post because FanBox Pay Per Click Ads are LIVE! Get the most bang for your buck by choosing your tags carefully and writing posts people are searching for, here's how.
What the Heck Pay Per Click Ads?
When you publish a blog post on FanBox, you have the option to purchase an ad to promote that post to more readers. Now ads work to both gain you Fans as well as tell more FanBoxers about your cool post.
You will have two options when you publish an ad -
Meaning if you set a daily budget of $10, FanBox computers will "bid" to place your ad in front of readers and when your daily budget of $10 is spent, your ad may still be show but you won't make earnings off it. This will still work to promote your good words on your blogs to new people who can become your FanBox fans.
Before you daily budget is reached you make money for the time people spend on your posts.
Now, if you're a control freak like me and you want to know exactly what you're spending on ads, you can choose the "Manual" option and set the bids yourself.
You will need to tell the FanBox computer how much you're will to pay per click and the bidding starts at .01 cent.
When someone clicks on your ad, that's how much you are charged.
You will be shown a suggested bid range - I highly suggest using that PPC price as that is the current range of the value of your tags.
Then you set a daily budget and the computer will bid on ad placement to show your ads at your set price per click. Once your daily budget is reached, again you ads will be shown but you will make neither earnings nor be charged for those clicks. However again, it is good for advertising and building up FanBox fans.
Again, before you daily budget is reached, you make money for the time people spend reading your posts.

Not Sure What to Write?
FanBox already does an amazing amount of research for you. Check out the search pagehttp://www.fanbox.com/PremiumBlogs/TrendingTopics.aspx?source=feedtopicsbox and see what people are searching for. Popular topics bring more traffic to your blogs it's as simple as that.
Need More Traffic?
People write me for help and one of the biggest problems I see people having is they aren't choosing good tags to get traffic and they aren't writing posts that are getting searched for. Write what you want and then when you're ready to choose those 6 tags for your post, make sure that you choose tags that relate to your post and if you just put the first couple of letters in the tag box, you will see a dropdown box of suggestions appear - these are already popular tags and tags you've used before. Either option is good as popular tags help being more readers to your blog and revisiting tags you've used before will help your blog become an authority in a given subject.

Don't Bother Emailing Your Blog
When someone clicks your link from an email (or mass email - I'll be really happy to see that option gone), you make zip, zilch, zero. Plus if enough people report you for spamming, you can be in danger of having your FanBox account closed for spamming other members. DO promote your blogs on Twitter, Facebook and other forums outside FanBox; you do make money off visitors that arrive via those venues.
Make Sure Your Tags Match Your Content
Just because "Music" is a very popular topic, don't choose it as a tag on your article about your trip to the zoo with your kids. Tags must go with the content of your blog post for two big reasons. The first is to the FanBox algorithms as well as search engines like Google can properly classify your post - search engines will trash your post when the tags don't match the content. And secondly, if you're going to be paying by the click - you don't want people clicking on your ad thinking they are going to read about one thing and get something else entirely.
