Cheaper options than Adwords

If I'm willing to spend less money on CPC than Adwords,
what would you recommend as options?
Adbrite?
Adhitz?
Bing ads?
I recently heard of 7search. Any recommendations?
Thanks

 

Depends on what you want, do you want to appear in search results, or on other sites.

I would say that is the first question you need to answer yourself.

 

7 Search is a great way to go but don't expect to get flooded with traffic for some of the less popular keywords.
The bids are lower but you can expect just as much competition as anywhere for the top spots.

However you won't see those ridiculous click process you see on adwords.

I can recommend 7 search been using them for a year and half and pretty happy.

With Bing Ads you can get decent traffic, but it's not as pricey as AdWords CPCs.

 

Thanks Aussie and Invision!
Webstumblr, I meant other sites. For search results I would go for adwords, because in my country google takes 99% of search market, but I'm not interested.

 

Bing ads has little traffic but the clicks are also very cheap. I ran a few campaigns and get an average of 0.05 CPC for major keywords in Gaming niche.

For really cheap traffic I advise Facebook Advertising. The trick is to set a max. optimized CPM of $5 and start with a low budget of $10 and progressively increase your budget whenever your remaining budget reaches $5. Using this trick you can get a lot of clicks which recalculates to an average CPC as low as $0.03.

The quality is very high because you can target on Age, Gender, Interest (Pages people like), Language. The clickthrough rate using CPM depends on your advertisement, the image and text you use.

 

I would suggest you check edomz.com you can mange to get traffic in very cheap in compare to adsense or 7search and still have better quality

 

Try Chitica, I get paid like 1 penney for 1 or 2 clicks!
As an advertiser it is great, but not as a publishers (I am a publisher) .

 

I agree with you. It is good as an advertiser but not as a publisher.

 

join zhakkas ads network....

 

If you are starting with smaller budget like $50 or something, You can start with edomz or any other pop under network. I have promoted few CPA offers through them. I did it for Mobile as well as desktop traffic using pops. Traffic was decent enough and i was satisfied with conversion i got.

 

i used miva.
as long as you get cheap price or lower bid and good sales.
Bid gaps (e.g. $ 0.40, 0.39, bid gap, 0.20, 0.19, 0.18) occur when there is a significant price increase to move up one spot in the PPC rankings. It is best if you take advantage of the bid gaps by filling them in so you can save up your cents to other bidding opportunities. Often there are keywords worthy of lesser bids to get the appropriate ranking on the list and produce a good number of clicks and higher conversion rate rather than bidding higher but having a poor conversion rate. You have to put in mind that overbidding too is not good but rather the best position for the most effective bid.

 

edomz.com can be a much more cost effective and useful alternative. At edomz you create your ads in minutes, you can choose your geographic targeting, They offer worldwide traffic starting just 50c cpm and it comes with quality and charge only for the clicks you receive.
