$100 CPC Ad on Adbrite?! WTF

Discussion in 'Affiliate Programs' started by BLieve, Jun 2, 2007.

    Can someone help me figure if I am retarded? This is the first time I am using AdBrite, and I have a list of pending ads to be placed on my site.

    http://sciencediversitycenter.org/

    The site above supposedly is offering a $100 CPC?!?! Is this a MAJOR typo? The second highest CPC on my list is 2.00 for Estudentloans.com. Most are $0.50.

    CPC does mean Cost Per Click right? Can it mean anything else?

    BTW, what is the average Cost per click nowadays?

    Thats what I thought Snapple and this is my first time looking at that thing so I was trying to figure out if CPC meant anything else? My conscience is forcing me to report it. (sigh)

    I'd say go for it, who knows maybe it is a great ad at converting and you make a boatload of $$$.

    i would say go for it. everyone makes mistakes, and they have to honour it. its not your fault or responsibility to monitor these stuff. blame google for even allowing a $100 CPC on their system. not even google can afford that, I believe.

    Well this is how I look at it. It's a friggin Science University or something. I don't know how Adbrite works but I assume the University is the one that has to pay me, I doubt they would just give up the dough. Anyway I reported it already. But the Estudentloans at 2.00 a click looks pretty intriguing. That shouldn't be an error right?

    They have to pay Adbrite, not you directly.

    The problem with this is the fact that most places have a pre set budget.
    Anyone offering $100 CPC will obviously gain the quickest amount of traffic, and thus their daily budget will be used up the quickest.


    Take it. Hell, even if you just make 1 click.

    Just wondering, what happens if he does have a $100 advert and then asks someone to click it for him? They couldn't track it as being fake could they?

    Yes, I believe the $100 was under highest bids but what does that mean then? And how long does it take for me to get the code after I accept the ads?

    oh wait, my bad. didn't read that it is adbrite.
    so how much have you earned from this ad so far? double figures? just asking, if its against the TOS, then ignore this.

    Adbrites CPC Is about 10-20 CPC in my genre, when I do use it.
    And no, if he'd ask someone to click his ads.. or were to go to another IP and just click that one ad once nobody would know.
    (Just being honest here).
    If you get greedy and click.. more than that, it'd obviously be tracked.
    Though again I think its very rare that people get cancelled for clicks on adbrite, or at least I've never heard of it.
    HAving said that, don't even go there. I cant stand people who swap clicks / fake clicks.

    Daz I am new at this but I don't even understand how someone would pay you $20 for a click like u said?! CPC means cost per click right? Who in the right mind would pay that much for a click?

    That's why I am not even counting on the $100 one. I am still waiting for the code for the Estudentloans which pays $2.00 a click which I still find ridiculous. 10 ppl click on it and thats a quick Jackson wth is going on? No complaints dont want to sound like Im complaining :D just really trying to figure out the deal here.

    If its really targeted, rarely clicks can be very, very valuable.
    The most valuable clicsk I've ever seen were government funded.

    Usually, up to $2 is normal.

    I have heard of Law Firms and Medical Related offices paying up to $100 on adwords, weather or not this is true is left to be confirmed.

    Adbrite isn't CPC, Adsense is CPC. Cost per click means the amount paid for each click, Adsense uses this system - adbrite on the other hand does NOT!

    Adbrite uses base-rates, meaning that an advertiser pays you a flat fee for a particular time period. So for 1 week they could pay you a $5 and a month could be $15 (you can configure it). So the advertiser is probably paying you $100 for a month or a week, or for 1 day.
