Another bad experience with Adbrite

    Four days ago I put Adbrite text ad zone on my site. At the first 6 hours or more, I just got a "gathering data..." there. 24 hours later I got nothing there but a "Advertise on this site" link. I thought there must be something wrong, so I checked my email to see whether they (or their machine) sent me some error message or warnings. Nothing in my inbox. Then I use their contact form telling them this issue. One day later, I got the reply from them saying:
    "Your account has been flagged for generating invalid clicks or impressions. Additionally, your account has been flagged for generating sites with little or no original site content... Due to these multiple violations, your account will not be reinstated. Earnings from these clicks will be invalidated."
    Now I decided to run my own ad script and sell banners by myself.

    That's unfortunate.
    In my experience (and most other people's) AdBrite tend to be much more forgiving and less demanding than AdSense.

    I've been with Adbrtie for years and when invalid clicks take place they simply remove the money the invalid clicks generated.

    Does your blog not have much content? Maybe it was under construction when you put the codes up?

    I'd get the blog sorted and then contact them again.

    I was getting ver low rates with AdBrite for the past few days and I decided to fully remove them from my site until they will recover from the bad economy and provide better rates.

    Adsense and bluelithium are probably the best out there at the moment, never tried adbrite but i am seeing more and more people with bad reviews of adbrite..

    So, I decided to place AdBrite ads today on my site and the results are kind of worse than they were couple of weeks ago. Seems like AdBrite is going downhill. Pick it up AdBrite and go uphill ;)

    I removed them from my site couple of weeks ago and today I decided to place them on my site and see if they have improved, but the rates were lower than they were couple of weeks ago since I used them. Heh little confusing for CountryBoy ;)
