Hello fellow DPers Has anyone heared of a PPC network that pays without the adsense limitations? My problem is the following: The main regions of 2 of my 8 websites (i.e. online trivia in my signature) contain no static text, but pure javascript/ajax dynamic content. Hence they can not be monetizes with Adsense, which sends completely irrelevant ads and the resulting eCPM is shameful. For me it would have been perfect, if during the trivia multiplayer game and/or the single player quizzes, I could draw from the database simple <a href="xxxx/?affID=yyy">Ad: Click here for the best insurance!</a> ads and get paid per click? Does a thing like this exist on the internet? Cheers
I am looking for a network where advertisers just give the target URL and anchor text, and get charged when a click is made. The ads are hence not javascript, but simple text ads. The publisher gets to choose exactly which links will be put in his website, and which not, when, and where. He can rotate them as he wants and place them in dynamic pages (as in my case) In the bottom line, the publisher will place plain <a></a> links, and get paid per valid click.
I personally don't think there is such an ad network. But AdSense offers those little text ads that are on one line.
That would be way too dangerous from the point of a network. It would be just like begging people to commit click fraud. You should have no problems with CPA/CPL though.
Not good, they can not be displayed dynamically. I don't see why there will be considerably more click fraud as with javascript ads? one can monitor IP and traffic also with simple text links. What does the ppc networks monitor beside that? Honestly, I run 8 pretty successful websites and NEVER made a CPA/CPL sell. I tried couple of times but after couple of days with zero results I resorted back to adsense.
But it will be much harder to know the real CTR or the referring pages. And by "much harder" I mean impossible.
I do not agree The referrer is a referrer regardless if the link is coming for js or hard-coded html. CTR can not be faked as well: on each text link impression, an <img height=1 weight=1 src="ppcnetwork refering page" /> element is added to count the impressions. To make sure the user does not remove the src element of tamper with forced clicks etc, one can for example crawl the publisher page once a day.
So, HostingProvider, do you program in ASP.NET? maybe we start working on the first html link ppc marketplace together?
Hello, For web development I code in PHP. By the referrer I mean the referrer of the page sending the click. That is important in most of the cases, and can only be tracked by adding javascript... though it can be easily fooled in most cases. And crawling the publishers' sites will work in most cases. But it can also be easily fooled if you know how to. Best regards! P.S.: thanks for your offer
