I recently (a few days ago) added adbrite on a very high traffic mature content site but I haven't gotten any advertisers to place ads on it yet. It shows a high estimated cost-per-click (around $3.50) in the ad for my site but I don't know what that's based on. It looks like new publishers show really high cpc rates as I've seen up to hundreds of dollars per click which is ridiculous and makes me wonder about their stats. I'm not really motivated to keep it on much longer since there are other opportunities out there but it seems to work for people and if I remove the advertise on this site thing. Inline ads are showing up sometimes and sometimes there is an ad for a casino and one for playing games online but they aren't listed as being approved ads so probably fillers of some kind. Does anyone know how to get Adbrite going or how long it usually takes to get advertisers?
I've never received ANY advertisers from AdBrite - always had to make do with the network ads. If you have high traffic Exoclick might be a viable alternative - less per click, but faster turnover and payment scheme. You can also use it as well as AdBrite. Check my Exoclick review for more info.
I also added Adbrite a few days ago and got no ads. I sent a ticket and got a reply yesterday saying they need additional time to investigate. Maybe new accounts are having problems. I've already removed some of the blocks and replaced them with niche affiliates which may work out better anyway. I'll leave some so i can see what they do serve up once they get the problem sorted.
it depends. For my site i got advertisers within like 3 months of putting up. The sad news is that the per click is .20$ for me. so I decide to stop using adbrite. for your high traffic site, it won't take too long. Give it a trial period of 2 weeks or a month before you consider taking it off.
cost-per-click is: Avg total clicks divided by the price you have set. for example: adbrite says that you avg. 14 clicks a week.you set the price at $1 a day.the cpc will show $.50. if someone has a high cpc,it may be because they get very few clicks and their price is high. the stats are off some,but it gives the advertiser some idea weather to buy an ad or not. wait a little while for the stats to build up and then look at your stats as an advertiser point of view and ask yourself would buy an ad on your site for that price.if not,lower the price.
Thanks for the comments and now I know I'm not the only one. @zodiac, I never set the price as they recommend to leave it automatic but maybe I will consider changing it or watch to see if it gets lower as they accumulate stats. @CountryBoy, I actually read your post on another thread today and read your blog and signed up for exoclick with your referral link. Hopefully it does well for both of us. I'm just keeping adbrite at the bottom of the page for now.
I have subscribed to adbrite and put their code in my website for more than 3 months, on a blog that gets 1000 hits/day with a price $0.20/day and never got a single ad... My website is in italian so I thought that was the problem but I see here that there are others that never got ads from adbrite.
Same here. Never got a single ad (advertiser or network ads). Damn. Where can i find an Adsense like system whereby i need not wait for the ads to appear?
We advertised with Adbrite and it was a complete failure, not to mention their ad management area is a joke.
I put up exoclick and the ads appear right away. It says you need 100 clicks to become a publisher and then I assume they evaluate your traffic and approve you as a publisher if you aren't doing click fraud. The amount showing up per click is $0.01 - $0.02. I'm hoping that that will change once I am approved. Unlike adsense which doesn't allow images next to ads, they actually put images beside the ads for you so that helps the CTR.
Honestly, I do get lots of advertisers with adbrite, about 40 unique advertisers at this moment. and I just joined adbrite at the beginning of this month. There are lots of options, and it is very tricky to set up all those ad zones. I am still play with those zones to make them reasonable. You just need some patient say wait about one week. Be sure to write your site description, tags very carefully. I guess advertisers are looking for those keywords. One concern I have with Adbrite is that, how acurate it record those click, interstitials. My numbers doesn't look reasonable. With about 20K unique visits starting this month, I got an amount of money that can only get me a cup of coffee. My site is actually a popular free graphics editor software site, I have very solid user base. Just want to get some cash through ad to pay for my software tutorial writers and contest winners.
I think the key to making money with adbrite is having a very active message board and placing the ads on there. You don't even have to worry about clicks, it's pretty much all CPM network ads. I make several dollars per day that way, much more than I ever made with adsense.
Well, I get pretty good pageviews so maybe it will turn out ok. So far I haven't seen any CPM banners show up. Is that something you sign up for separately?
yes that's true, i have placed the adbrite code in the top of my web directory. though because of the pr update it is not pr1, but the traffic has increased hugely. still i can't see any ads in my adbrite. i see some ads in the 160*600 format, but the middle banner is almost useless till now!
this thread is about an advertiser buying an ad,not ads not showing. page rank has nothing to with an ad network. maybe the network ads dont like to be on a web directory.
