Better then Adsense? Paypal payer?

My experience with Bidvertiser was also very poor. Very low CTR even after I pruned to approve only relevant advertisers. Rather suspicious in my opinion. Other people suspect a scam - see this thread http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=240855

I'm slowly working my way through quite a number of networks, both PPC and CPA. And so far all of them are pretty crappy in one way or another. That includes the two big ones, Adsense and YPN. Some are just crappier than others.

For those who are still lap dogs for Adsense or YPN, you'll change your tune one day when they unfairly terminate you, although YPN is at least honest enough to pay out what they feel you are owed while Adsense are thieves and steal your money. That seems to be the case with every other network as well - they steal your earnings, or in some cases like FriendFinder retroactively change the payouts - crooks is what they are.

Some are quite stupid, like YPN who terminates you because the traffic you sent to their advertisers didn't convert, which is obviously the fault of the advertisers' crappy landing pages, and FriendFinder who retroactively reduces their payouts for poor conversion rate, again their fault not the publisher's.

CrispAds stuffs all kinds of garbage advertisers into your account when they think you aren't watching - I caught them doing that to my account and took their code off my blog instantly. I think they are defunct now, aren't they?

Text Link Ads has a lot of fans but they are sitting on their brains at least part of the time. They tell me my website already is selling text links, which it isn't and that it doesn't have enough traffic or link popularity (most recently Alexa 36,000, Google PR=4, 1.6 million page views per month). I was kind enough to direct them to the places they could get this information and since they have sh*t for brains they went away and never answered.

MaxBounty seems like a good CPA network. It's just that they don't have many offers that work for me. Shoemoney crapped all over them, saying they stole from a friend. I have no personal knowledge if that's true or not.

There are still a number on my list to try for myself but I don't have much hope doing better than the crappy experience others have reported. But for many of them there are isolated reports of good experiences. I'll keep trying and hope I end up with another network or two where I can provide an isolated report of a good experience.

My conclusion, Adsense is one of the least crappy. But bad idea to depend solely on them and not diversify. I keep trying others, carefully so as not to get burned too badly. And work on affiliate marketing. It can pay off much bigger.

 

use http://www.adengage.com its good n growing the pay min 0.04 or .05 per click

 

Here in ExoClick.com we make weekly payments via Paypal. Give us a try. If You need any help just send me a PM.

 

IS this kind of like adbrite? But you get paid per click?

Do advertisers have to bid on your site in order to have text links appear on your site? Or do they find relevant ads (like adsense) and place them in automatically?

 

Chitika... But usually for blogs..

 

It's a mix. You set your price and number of ads to show on each page.
Those advertisers that bid for your site take precedence for your spots, and pay your bid price per time (day, week or month) not per click, and you can approve or dissaprove individually.
The remaining spots are filled with "Run of Ads Network", and you're paid per click (usually $0.04 or $0.05 each click), you can't dissaprove individually but you can filter a bit (adult, general, or suitable for children).

 

I was looking at them. They aren't PPC from what I see. You sell ad space on your site. Looks interesting but the pay seems very low. I don't know what the pricing formula is but some of the high traffic sites in their top 20 are getting under .01 per click, for example $11 per week for sending 2,000 clicks. Other sites get more but it still looks small. How do you make any money with that?

 

Actually, the ban on contextual advertising was removed from the Adsense TOS last month.

Btw, does anyone know if Chitika eMiniMalls works for an audience based in Asia? It seems good, but I'm worried that since it's product-based, the ads won't show up for my site's mainly Asian audience.

 

You'll not get better than AdSense moneywise, but ExoClick offer payment by PayPal. Not what you could describe as contextual either, but depending on what your niche is you can get $1 per click. I've been using them for a few days on a blog of mine and I'm reasonably impressed so far.
