I have my zones set to only display CPM ads that have a min payout of $0.35. 5thousand 2.5 thousand impressions later they all of the ads I approved hit there daily budget and I only got $0.12. I checked frequently and no ads paying under my min but I still earned less than 80% of what I should have. The AdBrite ads are much more eye catching and targeted than the ads in the replacement code I set it to use. My unattractive ads avg. 25 clicks per day but the AdBrite ads get 0 clicks every day. There stats are terribly wrong. Once I get approved by ReachAds.com I will take there code down. There don't work for arcades in my experience and I have heard from many others the same.
AdBrite network ads are really really really and i mean really low paying ads. I have 60 clicks on network ads and only $5 earned. Yes 60 clicks and only $5 earings i'm not kidding. If you want to make good money with AdBrite you need to have a medium/high traffic website (1000/10.000 impressions per ad zone) so that advertisers would buy ads from your site directly. I have contact them 1 month ago about the low earning ads some time ago and their main internal control guy had check all the clicks and told me thats is the real earning but that cpc is not calculted by bid or CTR. So i gues beacose I'm banned from adsense because my sites actually have high click rate though they are perfectly legitimate i have no other option. Bidvertiser is even worse than AdBrite. About AdBrite not displaying ads (or not having much ads)that is not true. They do display lots of various ads all the time, the thing is they track your IP adress so for your own ad zones you would only see minimum ads. Though overall AdBrite is not for the average people and sites. You need to be more experienced and have quite some visits! I can't wait some other advertising network to emerge that will be good competition to adsense or yahoo to get out of the loooooooong beta!!!
I don't like adbrite. it clouds the page making it look like rubbish and pay very low. I avoid adbrite sites too.
The thing is AdBrite pays much more per click than AdEngage and AdToll. They also have WAY more RON ads. Yesterday with AdEngage I had 80 clicks and only earned $2. AdToll pays me an average of 1-2 cents per click. When I was with AdBrite I got an average of 4-7 cents per click and the occasional $0.50+ clicks. My issue with them is there stats are way off the ads are ugly and almost always untargeted which made for much less clicks overall. The thing that gets most people (Or used to)is that they usually have terrible support. They often reply saying something that doesn't answer your question at all. If you think people with zones that get 1,000-10,000 pageviews get more direct purchases maybe I will stay a while longer now that I am getting 4,200 views a day. Just no clicks.
-The ads are those as advertisers put them, AdBrite is not responcilbe for the look of the ads. -They do serve targeted ads but most of their network ads are set for all audiences and categories and thus there will be unrelated ads appearing. Though I personally find unrelated ads better and that is the only thing i didn't like about google. No mather what it only displays very targeted ads. So basicly it automaticly shows competitors ads. For example if i make a unique article about buying car guide, it will display other car guides which is a competition to my site or it would display car insurance, car rents which is not directly releted to my buying car guide and because of it i will get less clicks. -Support has been amazing for me, they are a bit slow though but they always answer within 2-4 days extensevly and you can also do unlimited follow ups of sub-questions. For me the only thing that i don't like is the earn per click, I gues i can't forget my average of $0.25 per click in adsense and the ocasional $1.50 for 1 click. -If your site is getting 4000 visits per day you could set up a text zone only and set the pricing yourself. You won't get banner ads so no eCPM but the direct purchases should be a lot better!
@SoftCloud For an AdBrite program those are some impressive numbers lol. How much traffic is your site getting?
