Hi, Do you have experience as an advertiser with both companies Text-Link-Ads and AdBrite? Both of them feature flat cost ads, where we can pay for a week or for a month and the cost will not change regardless the number of ads' clicks or impressions. However, Adbrite provides information for the web sites visits and expected number of clicks, while text-link-ads shows only the Alexa and Google ranking indexes that are not necessary guarantee for the publishers web site traffic volume. The question abot text-link-ads is how we can be sure that the publishers web site realy has traffic? What is your opinion and / or experience ?
TLA is probably better if you want a high quality, relevant site with plenty of traffic. AdBrite is cheaper but a lot of the sites are poor quality.
We offer a service where you can buy the exact number of clicks you require from the exact website that you would like to receive traffic from. You can't beat a bit of 'certainty'!
Does that not mean you tell some people to visit that site and click a certain number of ads? That's not exactly genuine traffic!
No, it does NOT mean that! It means that you can purchase clicks on our publishers websites and pay them per click received. We have very fierce anti-fraud measures in place to protect our advertisers.
My CTR with AdBrite is less than 0.3 % so I am interested if anybody has experience with Text-link-ads as well
This makes two of us. I see people with adsense getting between 10-50% CTR so I am wondering what im doing wrong! Does adbright automatically do CPM? I really need CPM because CTR is so low!
No need affiliate link. If you have creative, useful information about the performance of their service, you are welcome to share it.
Two different monsters to me: With Adbrite it only makes sense if you can get an ROI from the purchase of ads. The links offer no real love from the engines. With TLA it can sometimes makes sense from an ROI perspective to buy links and focus on the traffic from those links. Often the traffic is secondary and the link and thus potentially increased search engine natural listings is the strategy and how the link is priced.
Actually, the positive effect of purchased links is at least questionable as Google have, and I quote.. 'tremendously refined its link-weighting algorithms'. See here: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2006/12/building-link-based-popularity.html
