    Hi,

    I am using bidvertiser on my blog, and it says that I have had 1,207 impressions, but 0 clicks.

    Just wondering what the standard rate of clicks per impression was?

    Thanks!

    P.S. Can anyone recommend any better pay per click that allow users under 18 to sign up?

    You have to be 18 to use Bidvertiser.

    From their TOS: http://www.bidvertiser.com/bdv/join.dbm?serv=BidVertiser&sn=publisher
    You also need to work on your ad positioning because, they ads are located in places where a user is not likely to click.

    most sites have to be 18+ for legal reasons, if a site doesnt say they are, the odds are they still are 18+.

    Paypal itself is 18+,

    so yeah the best bet is sell links or find someone that is already dealing with contextual advertising and ask him to cut out a deal.

    What about selling my own ad space? Am I allowed to do that? Or maybe I should just ask my dad to sign up for adsense.

    Yes, Adsung requires that you are 18+ to use the service.

    Hi pal. What is the platform of your website? Are you using wordpress? Have you studied about ads optimization? I have a newly opened site and I have 3% conversion and 1000+ visitors per day. But I have clicks. I'll help you with optimizing it so you could start earning. Cheers.

    whirlybird20: a few years ago I was in the same situation as you are. Simply registered on your dad's name and make him read the whole TOS and cash out the checks. Easy as that.
    You're the brain, your dad is the account holder.
