I have used www.oxado.com for a couple of years now, but they never seem to get a mention on the main discussion forums. Don't know why because they are an excellent alternative to adsense for European and North American traffic. Try out the 468 x 60 banner and you should see an increase in CTR because the scrolling feature attracts the eye. Sorry I can't point you to an example as all my sites are temporarily down but a google search should find you an example ad.
Excellent alternative? You're having a laugh! Oxado sucks big style - as soon as I reach the minimum payout I'll be gone from there like a shot. For every 5 cent click I get at least 3 or 4 that pay zero. The only thing they've got going for them is their rotating ad units.
It really does depend on your keywords. I had them on some casino related sites and it's true that they payed peanuts. A lot of clicks payed 0, which kinda pissed me off. But I also had them on some financial domains and each click was earning 2 Euros + So a bit of trial and error you should be able to optimise your sites. The ones that don't earn, just revert back to adsense or yahoo. The rotating ads is a good implementation, I'd love to see adsense using this too.
I used Oxado once on a proxy site , and I think they count only clicks from Main Europe and north America but the bid is high around 0.23 euro
Yeah, I had them on some mainstream sites and was averaging about 20 euro cents per click. More than adsense. The only problem I found with putting oxado on a general site with diverse topics was, (eg a forum) their ad engine was nowhere near as good as adsense, and irrelevant ads would be shown quite a lot of the time. This resulted in a reduced CTR, but overall income was greater than adsense.
Anyone knows how many blocks they allow on a same page? Also if they have restrictions on using other advertisements with theirs (contextual or not). Thanks!
There are no limits on the number of Oxado advertisements you can place on one page. With their rotating ad format you'll probably find that only 1 or 2 do the job perfectly well.
