Who (going on experience) would you recommend for advertising in a similar form to Google Ads? IE my ad appears on a website, and every time someone clicks on it, I pay them money. Thanks For Your advice. Adenda: I know I will probably also get a lot of advert sellers either posting or sending me private messages in reply. That is OK. I will consider your service. However, before posting or PMing me please note: I do mean "Google Ads style". I am not interested in pop under, pop up, blind clicks, paid clickers, etc - don't waste my time with these. I am only interested in REPUTABLE dealers. That is, I need to see a website with details of advertising deals on it before discussing anything with you. I am NOT interested if you just ask me to email or PM you, nor will I be interested if your website asks me for ANY of my details before it has explained the FULL details of the deals you offer. If I don't know you, I will start with a VERY low investment at first, and only build it up after I have seen results. Sorry, but I have been burned before. It needs to be easy to understand and use. I'm not looking at bloody confusing or badly written "help" files. I just want to set my keyword bids, change the bids if needed, and leave it at that. Nor am I interested in downloading software to manage my adverts, I want an "online web interphaze"! EDIT If you need to know the type of thing I am advertising before approaching me, it is the service in my signature.
I think no one ad network can compete with google adsense, if you find some network offer great rates like google adsense. I'm sure it will decreased after 1 week / month. You can still use google adsense via adsense join venture, it was very popular.
Thanks I will look at them Umm, AdSense is Google Ads. Can't use Google Ads as an alternative to Google Ads!!!!!!!! Well you haven't looked too hard then! I have limited experience as I only started looking a week ago, however in my limited experience so far: There are a few con men out there, but most are genuine, and most work out well under Google's price. This is probably NOT because they are better, but because buying ads is a bidding process, and the more bidders there are, the more you have to pay to win the bid, making Google expensive. This is not Google's fault, it is because Google is the most famous, and most people are too lazy to look around. Like you, they just use Google and don't bother looking at alternatives. So that Google will always be two to three times the price of everyone else. Good news for Google shareholders, and since the only people paying extra are the lazy bums who are prepared to pay extra rather than do some work, then no one really gets hurt. But I am prepared to do the work. Plus the point is moot, because Google do not allow "adverts that are adverts" so I can't use them anyway (look at my sig - I tried to advertise that site, they told me they would not accept adverts for that site because it is an advertising site, if I want to advertise on Google my site must be entirely free content, not designed to sell anything, with maybe the occasional small banner or text ad).
Thanks, but I had already looked at their site (found a link on this site) before posting. They are the reason I added the following condition : They have a big, impressive looking site which says, over and over again "We are great, we are really really great" but deliberately gives you no useful information about their service. Sure sign that they are con men, trying to take newbies for a few dollars.
Thanks just looked at them. None to keen on their website for the same reason I quoted for Infolinks. Also, from what limited information they did give (which was about 10% of bugger all) it does not look like they do AdWords style adverts.
Media.net (powered by Bing) is one of the best alternatives for Adsense. It is a contextual ad network.
Thanks for your replies. Had a slight problem which delayed this project, but am back on track now so will be looking at the advertising companies you all recommended over the weekend and will do the "best reply" thing next week, when I have sorted my advertising campaign. Thanks for taking the time to post replies.
Thanks but: Media.net won't give you their prices until you sign up, so are obviously very expensive. Contextweb.com don't load on IE, and gets a "untrustworthy site" report on Chrome!
@seoaceindia Will infolinks allow, like Adsense, to put your ad code tags in whatever site you have, provided that your first site (and only that) has been accepted? Or every site where you put the code must be manually approved by them?
