CPC Programs for Webmasters

Blog Ads program

2008-05-01T12:14:00.000-07:00

Blog Ads provides ads specifically for blogs. Ads come in a strip format that can include both picture and text ads. The ads will run anywhere from 1 week to several months, and bloggers are paid a flat rate for each ad run. These pay anywhere from $10 to several thousand dollars per week depending on your blog's traffic. BlogAds requires you to have a fairly large blog with at least 1,000 readers per day. They also require you to be sponsored by one of the blogs in their network, though you can also email BlogAds and ask to be notified when a new sponsor is available.

These are sites that help you make money with your web site or blog by using some of the space on your site to advertise for other sites or products. In many ad programs, you earn whenever someone visits your site and clicks on the ad (referred to as pay-per-click or PPC ads). In others, you earn whenever an ad is viewed - these ads are pay-per-impression.

There are a number of different types of ads: banner ads, text ads, ads inserted into pictures or videos, interstitial ads which appear when people are moving from one page to another on your site, pop-up/pop-under ads, and so on. Ads may also be contextual, which mean that the ad is based on the content of the page that the ad appears on.

Webmasters should always remember that some forms of advertising are less popular than others. The best ads blend in with your site, do not annoy or harass your visitors, and are relevant enough so that your visitors will occasionally click on them.

Profile Dough

2008-04-29T07:11:00.000-07:00

Monetization is taking place every where and people are not willing to loose a chance if they are willing to get monetized anywhere. Keeping that in mind this site has started and they provide dynamic banners which we can keep in our profiles in social media sites and we can get money from people clicking those banners. The banners work with .php and hence no problem with scripting coz some sites dont accept scripts. The advantage of registering with this site is you get $1 for each referral that signs up under you.

MAKE MONEY on your PROFILE - ProfileDough.com

But there are more disadvantages rather than advantages with this site. You get only 2cents per click which really sucks right now. In the past myspace did not allow Adsense and hence at that time this one rocked. But now bad luck. But you can try it on other social media sites. Even the above one can be berable but this one is really pissing. You need to reach $50 for payout. If you want to get your money for $20 then you need to give them 75% back as a penality it seems. But if you reach that payout mark of $50 then you dont need to give back anything. This one only works if you have a good network of people joining under you.

Adster

2008-04-29T07:05:00.000-07:00

Today, I saw a blog which have placed some text links in their blog. Also at the end of those links its written "Advertise here". I though this site is selling links using a medium and wanted to find that site. But to my surprise, when I checked those links I came to know that the URL's are being redirected from another site.

I found that the site is providing text ads not text links. Also the links are placed in a certain section and these links will actually look like paid links, so you will get high click through rate and also advertisers will give you good money for each click. Also advertisers can bid on flat rates or else on cost per click basis. The payout you need to reach is $25 and you will get the money through check. I contacted the person who is using this service and he said that right now he is getting around 20cents for each click. I think this is really very good for those blogs which are developing their advertising. And as I have just started using this, it takes some time for reaching the payout. So before that if you don't want to wait then you can use adster.com

Adtoll

2008-04-29T06:38:00.000-07:00

Hi, today I want to write about another PPC advertising site whose name is Adtoll. This site is different when compared to other PPC sites. Here banner advertising is the method used. And here the main way of earning is by keeping a banner and then charging for the number of days you are keeping that banner. At first I am very much interested in participating and kept ads in my site, but came to know that they are not relevant to my site.

All the ads you get for this site are related to gaming. So its useless to keep this. Automatically they will be giving 20cents per week for keeping a banner. But if you have good Alexa rank and traffic we can charge even more than $100 per week just for keeping a single 125X125 banner. But you get good advertisers for your blog only if your blog is related to games. Hence those who are maintaining a games site, register right away.

Advertlets

2008-04-29T06:36:00.000-07:00

Right now I am very glad to mention about a site named Advertlets. This site is exclusive developed for advertising in blogs, but right now they are accepting websites too. Its an Asian site which provides CPM, CPC and sponsored posts from a single site. The first thing that we will get interested is its home page. Its some thing like a first impression for me. Its a brand new site with a lot of potential. As this site was still in its developing stage, it is getting good advertisers. This people are right now spending lot of money for promoting this site. So, I am expecting a good output from this site.

Well let me explain in detail about this site. This site has a very good targeted advertising and through the means of real time demographics profiling for your blog. That means you will get local advertisers matched with the local audience for your blog. That means they won't show ads for makeup and high heals for blogs with more male traffic. So, this site is totally targeted with the audience. So, now you will be thinking how these are going to find whether a site is getting more male traffic or female traffic. Here comes the method how this site provides advertisements. This people will provide a widget in which we get advertisements and polls. Polls? yes you are hearing it right. They are using polls to get information about visitors. So, first of all only polls will be shown here and once they get the demographics, ads start showing up in that widget. Now advertisers operate via CPM. So you will be shown ads per CPM. Also you can earn money with CPC(Cost Per Click) OR PPC(Pay Per Click). Have a look how the widget below. Also I have placed a widget in my blog. You can have a live look of it.

Adbrite

2008-04-29T03:34:00.000-07:00

Adbrite is a well established Ad marketplace that offers publishers with a number of ways to monetize their websites. These include CPCs, CPMs, In-Line Ads, Video Ads, Full Page Ads and also an option for advertisers to buy a link on a website for a period of time.
Their CPC concept revolves around their Site Directory of Publisher Sites where advertisers can choose to place ads on websites of their choice. Advertisers also have the option to place network Ads which allows the ads to be shown on publisher websites of the selected demographics.
Good for Sites with good traffic as it encourages advertisers to bid on your site raising your minimum CPC.
For Adbrite you need to attract advertisers to place ads on your site as its not contextual, therefore its best if your ad zones are of a specific niche rather than general. This is especially true as attracting advertisers showing related ads will increase your CTR.
Network Ads can be shown if there are no advertisers which is around 0.05USD to 0.08USD a click so for some niches it offers reasonable return. Sites with big traffic like proxy sites, forums, entertainments sites will make good money from Adbrite, especially if they get a few Site Targeted Advertisers.
One thing to remember, as with most networks is that it takes Adbrite a few days to register and collect the stats of your site to sell to their advertiser network. With Adbrite especially as your site doesn’t even appear in their Site Directory until 5-6 days.

Chitika

2008-04-29T03:30:00.000-07:00

Chitika offers a number of ways for publishers to implement their CPC ads onto their web sites. Chitika has labeled their eMiniMalls as a interactive product merchandising service and is basically a banner ad that promotes products from Chitikas merchant partners. Chitika however offers publishers CPC rather than CPA and is one of the first to do this followed recently by WidgetBucks and ShoppingAds. As with most shopping network referral CPC, reports are audited before payment so expect to see a change to the revenue shown on your report before auditing is complete. We are finding the Unaudited earnings to be quite high at over 0.15USD CPC and their range of ad types means that you can see which one fits your site best. Good for Shopping Sites and sites with good traffic. We have only recently began testing Chitika but like what we see. Unaudited CPC seems quite high at over 0.1USD per click. There seems a lot of products in the Chitika database so targeting should not be a problem and we will report on the CTR soon.
Payment: Paypal, check - monthly - Min USD10 for paypal and USD50 for checks

Yahoo Publishers' Network

2008-04-29T03:24:00.000-07:00

YPN seems like they have been in beta for decades. For this reason they are still unavailable for International sites (Non US) and hence I am unable to test them. Word is that they offer a good alternative (some say better) to Adsense from those who has been approved, the trick is to actually get approved into the network. YPN works on a similar model to Adsense so would share similar characteristics. As I have mentioned not tested so maybe some visitors can inform us.

Clicksor

2008-04-29T03:19:00.000-07:00

Clicksor is a contextual CPC ad network with a popular following. Less strict on restrictions than Google allowing Mature content sites a contextual alternative, proxy sites are not allowed though. Publishers meeting the requirement can apply to be a Premium Site partner and have access to more options and reporting. Good for Contextual alternative and Mature content sites. CPC seems a little on the low side averaging about a quarter of what we usually get from Adsense. Due to a smaller pool of advertisers, we found that the ads shown were not very relevant or in quite a lot of cases, no ads were found but that maybe due to geographical targeting. Additionally, we noted that the ad banner seemed to load quite slowly.
Payment: Paypal, check - bi-monthly - min USD50

Widgetbucks

2008-04-29T03:08:00.000-07:00

WidgetBucks is a new shopping network based CPC network that claims above USD2 CPM.
Widgetbucks is a category targeted ad network.Good for Sites in niches that have low CPCs from major networks but good traffic. When launched WidgetBucks took the Internet Marketing World by storm with steady 0.5USD clicks and nice looking ads. Recently, the world has found that the high CPC was before auditing which made it come down to more realistic figures. It still offers very attractive CPCs at over 0.2USD and have gained quite a following. A lot of webmasters are still withholding judgment for when WidgetBucks starts its first payday which should be sometime in December 07. WidgetBucks are now offering USD25 to new publishers signing up.
Payment: Paypal, check - monthly at 45 days following the month your account balance reaches USD50.00

Bidvertiser

2008-04-29T02:33:00.000-07:00

Bidvertiser can be a useful alternative to Google and offer some intriguing ad formats including what they refer to as free design. This lets you specify the look and dimensions of your text ads. While a useful feature I have not investigated how well it works but imagine that while it sounds good on paper it could result in lower priced ads being displayed. I.e. most advertisers will probably want to keep control of the layout of their ads and so turn off support for Free design ads.

Bidvertizer pays you either in $50.00 increments by check or $10.00 increments by PayPal.

Customize the layout of your ads: BidVertiser gives you a simple point-and-click tool to help you customize the layout of the ads to fit your site's look and feel, in order to retain the high quality of your website. Bidvertizer also offers the opportunity to block unwanted ads. The reports provided by Bidvertiser are adequate but not outstanding. The only real problem is that they can be picky with who they accept into their program and can be quick to ban users whose websites show what may be perfectly valid fluctuating visitor behaviour.
Place a Referral button or a text link on your site and you will start to earn money when a user clicks on your button or link and signs as an advertiser or a publisher:

When a user signs as an advertiser and first spends $10, we'll
credit your account with $5. When that same advertiser
spends $50, you will be credited with an additional $20.

When a user signs as a publisher and first earns $10, we'll
credit your account with $10. When that same publisher
earns $50, you will be credited with an additional $40.

Bidvertiser

2008-04-29T01:03:00.000-07:00

Bidvertiser, a CPC ad network that competes with Google AdSense. It main advantage over AdSense is its low $10 payout. You only need to make $10 in order to be paid. Big publishers wouldn’t care about this but for many small blogs that are still waiting to hit that magic $100 Google payout level, getting pay at a lower level is quite attractive.

Text Link Ads

2008-04-26T23:24:00.000-07:00

Text Link Ads is another good ad network. They help you make money online by selling those text links you see under “Featured Sites.” The links offer advertisers traffic and search engine benefits and readers don’t seem to mind them at all because they are not intrusive. Your link price is set by Text Link Ads and is based on Alexa, Google PageRank, number of RSS subscribers, and other factors.
