    Bidvertisor is the worst possible PPC.

    I recommend AdSense, AdBrite, or Text-Link-Ads.


    Blend your ads into the content. Dont use colors that bring ads out.

    use adsense and put some ads on the content not only on header and footer

    You might run into a little trouble if you put AdSense on your site. I'm assuming that the site allows users to upload rock related videos and be able to share them, so you wouldn't have ultimate control over what your users upload (unless you moderate everything before they go online).

    A very important factor is how you blend your ads on your website.
    Make sure your ads look like part of the content on your site.
    Text link colors in your ads should be the same color as your regular link color on your site, which will increase your click rate for sure.
    Positions are also very important.

    I used Bidvertiser for over a year and didn't get one hit during the whole time. They kept sending me emails in the beginning to tell me that the code wasn't entered on my site, but it definitely was. I have since gone back to adsense and I am getting a few clicks now.

    Also you can get the impression ads that pay you for CMP however you don't have such a high traffic site so i wouldn't recommend it now
