i was intending to post this in the 'Adsense'-section, but i ended up here since it's a question related to the generic ads market out there.. pardon if it was posted in the wrong section. anyway.. quite simply: what is the best possible option for me for having ads on my website/forum instead of Google Adsense? i will most likely not get approved for Adsense since they've got quite a requirement list regarding website traffic and content.. so yeah, i am looking for the #2 after Adsense.. which advertizing-place should i try based on these facts: - my site/forum is an informative page/forum where users can gather information, get pointers from others, tips/advice for the material usage, new ideas, customer service and bring news related to the stuff - my location country/base for both the site and my living status = NORWAY - my preferred payment method = Paypal and/or electric (does this mean Moneybookers / Netteller etc?) - my average VISITS pr. day will be about 300 (will obviously increase within time) - my average HITS pr. day will be about 8000~10000 any other information that's needed to figure out the best possible Adsense-alternative for me? i figure that with those details, it'll be easier to pick an alternative for Adsense, yes? so, does anyone got a suggestion which one i should try since there are SO many to choose from..?
Take a look here - http://www.monetizationhub.com/reviews/ There is not really a great PPC alternative to Adsense, except maybe Yahoo or MSNs programs which I have yet to try. Adversal (pop-unders), Zangocash (installs), and CPALead (offers) are the best programs I've tried other than Adsense.
oh i see... i see that the best thing for me would be an inline ad system where some keywords are double underlined. why that would be best for me? it's not annoying AND there will be MANY, MANY posts containing a LARGE amount of texture and links! isn't that true, huh? i mean, since my site's not that big at all, it'd be kind og frustrating and annoying to have an interstitial ad-system, right? i certainly don't want a program which contains pop-ups, installation requirements etc.!
Adsense seems to be going down from past few months. and best alternatives could be Adbrite, kontera, clicksor, chitika, Axill, CPXinteractive, AdToll, and many more. But the problem is that they are really low paying, almost peanutes.
thankies for the input, people! oranges: what do you mean exactly by really long paying? like only $0.01 PPC? or i takes a while for the money to arrive to me? remember that i am located in europe (norway).. so it may take longer for the money to get here, even with paypal etc, or? i haven't checked out the other alternatives you mention.. are there some sort of reviews to those alternatives, perhaps? i'll probably land on Adbrite since they've got an inline-adsystem available, which'd work quite well on my site.. any other comments/suggestions?
Adsense is the highest paying PPC I've found. My test of Adbrite shows that their contextual ads are rubbish, their interstitials are decent (but not suited to your website. Double underlined links seems a reasonable idea for your website since you don't want to be intrusive. Why can't you use Adsense?
yeah. that's what i was having thoughts about as well... double underlined links seems to be the most suitable option for me. then the question would be; are there other ad-systems except Adbrite that offers such option, or..? any good, perhaps? well, i am not quite sure whether i can get Adsense or not, but if you check out thread ID 1081558, you'll see my worries... still hoping for the best though! what do you reccon? thankies for helping me out to choose the right ad-system! i like that you come up with what you reccon is most suitable ad-system for me instead of just saying something random! thankies a bunch for that! =) yeah.. i checked bitvertiser. that could be another alternative to Adbrite.. do you reccon that bitvertiser would be a good choice for my site, perhaps? (look my first post for site facts etc.)
Since you are saying you get about 8000 hits/impressions wouldnt CPM programs be good. Does any one know if this is correct and if so which ones are good?
It's really difficult to suggest an Adsense alternative even when you know the site/niche etc. The reason is that whilst one method may work for a similar site it may fail for another. The only way to really know is to test.
i see.. so i guess that there are mainly adbrite, bidvertiser, clickbooth and adversal that i should check out IF i don't get my adsense application approved... how does the test work? like.. how long time should i test? like, first have bidvertiser on my website for like...a month? then the next month i can switch over to adbrite if it's not going so well, huh? isn't there any measuring meter or something like that which can tell me how good the ad-system has been for me..? but yeah, i guess that's pretty basic stuff.. is there like a site with a COMPLETE review overview out of those mentioned ad-systems, huh? i've seen many threads, but there are so many links/sites to check out for this.. any ideas where i should start?
With 8000 impressions per day, a few days of test will be sufficient to see a fairly accurate CPM for each program. Although since you have no experience with Adsense, you won't see an accurate CPM until you optimize it.
I've been an internet marketer for a long while now and I have to say that Zango is the hands down best tool for webmasters wanting to make money. Trust me, I've used -CPALead -Clicksor -Adsense -PayPopUp and many more, but NONE converted as much as Zango did. In the past 5 months, I've made over $1,500 with just one of my sites. And now that I'm in the game, I make websites around Zango that convert huge numbers. The only problem I found out about Zango is how long it takes to get approved. It took me around 2 weeks and apparently I'm not alone on that, lol. Heres the secret. When you sign up under my referral link which is in my signature, you will also get signed up with my account manager, Aaron Foley, who I talk to on a daily basis. He can rush your account through the approval process, and get you ready to go in two days! If you need help, feel free to PM me. I have loads of knowledge about Zango and am experienced with making money with it. Cheers!
