Generating revenue through Ads
I'm sure most of you have heard of google adsense success stories where a person makes thousands a month just by showing Ads on their websites. If you have enough interesting content and traffic, it is possible to make a decent income from your website. Below is a list of popular advertisement/publishing companies that offer these opportunities.
1.Chitika
Chitika is like adsense(can be used together with adsense) in that you place ads on your website with revenue with each click through from a visitor. However the ads are only visible when the visitor enters your site from a search engine, giving more results of ads that are more specific to the visitors interest, making it more likely for them to click through. Mentioned in: New York Times Wall Street Journal |
2. AdBrite
Also featured in Wallstreet Journal, Los Angeles times, Adbrite is one of the better known alternatives to Adsense, and is considered to be a high-paying option, offering as much as 75% of the ad revenue generated (in other words, you keep 75% of the ad income, Adbrite gets the other 25%). They offer a wide variety of formats in both text and image ads. Adbrite also offers what are known as 'inline' ads, an option not available through Adsense. These are the double-underline words in your page text. |
From Bidvertiser: How much do I earn per click? Max bid is the maximum that the advertiser is willing to pay for each click. The real cost-per-click of each advertiser is $0.01 above the next closest competitor. BidVertiser will always display the highest bidders on your site, assuring the maximum revenue possible at any given time, while maximizing the effectiveness of our advertisers' ads. |
4.Clicksor
This site has some great reviews at forums. Apparently, the bidding is high (that is, the ads have a large payout), Clicksor pays a generous percentage to publishers (that would be you!), and there is a lot of versatility in how and where ads can be displayed. Clicksor also has a good reputation as far as doing an excellent job in placing context-relevant ads on your site. |
