Has anyone implemented these image overlay ads? I am testing it on one of my sites but won't know the result yet. They told me the CPC rates range between $0.10 - $1.00 depending upon category. I tried it on my auto blog (yourautostuffdotcom). It looks good so far but I'll wait to see my earnings. I am trying Picad Media but looking around I found Gumgum and Picapp. Anyone have opinions?
Not bad so far. I am avg about $0.20 CPC. I asked them about rates and they stated they are still trying to get advertisers comfortable with this ad format and rates should increase. I'll keep it for now as it's a decent supplemental income to my ad banners.
Yeah, even I recently got a mail from picadmedia to join their publishers network i'll give it a try next week !
Sounds like a great idea. Let me know how it works out for you sai_510. Seems like this would be a great complement to other ads for additional revenue.
Sure I'll let you know. But then it will definitely depend on the type of blog too....like a blog with many pictures will of course do better than a blog with less pictures/less attractive images. On avgerage I just keep 1 image per post.
Learn2earn, Have you tried this technology on your pics blog? I am curious to see how well it works for you with all those pictures.
I've noticed these ads on videos also, mainly on Youtube. It appears they are run on Adwords. Has anyone given these a shot?
The service has been decent so far. I got paid for the month of October already which is quite fast compared to some other CPC networks. My avg CPC rate on the auto site was $0.12. They told me they will increase this as advertisers get comfortable with this new ad format. I'll keep it running for now.
Looks like the company changed to Image Space Media. PPC rates are looking stronger now. Any one else see a significant change?
Some of my friends have tried GumGum too. They're a bit different because they told me it pays on a CPM instead. I'm starting my site soon so I've been thinking of using both to see which one is better.
