Have You Been Banned or Not Accepted into the Google Adsense Program?

Adsense Alternative - Adbrite works!  (Learn more...)

If you are unfamiliar with the Adbrite Network you need to know it is NOT as simple or as easy to make money as the Google Adsense program.  However with a little "tweaking" you really can make money.  We use Adbrite effectively, and so can you.

The Upside to the Adbrite Network

• A variety of Advertisers
• Cut and Paste Code
• Decent Statistical Tracking
• CPM, Full Page, and Inline Ad options
• Text and Banner options

The Downside to the Adbrite Network

• Low Traffic Sites perform poorly
• Niches that are too "tight" may perform poorly
• Not as many ad block size options as Adsense

How to make Adbrite Work for You

The first thing you need to do is get yourself an account.  Fortunately its much much easier than applying to Adsense.  And yes there are rules, but it's not a tight as the Adsense rules. Sorry no Adult Sites, but if you are in the Adult Genre you can apply to Adbrites Sister company AVN Ads.

How to Make Money with Adbrite

Adbrite has a lot of low paying JUNKY looking CPM Advertisments.  If your site is displaying these ads you'll make next to nothing because you are paid a set amount per 1,000 Ad Exposures.  Most small sites simply do not have the traffic to make money with CPM.

What you need to do is set up your site to make money from the Cost Per Click Ads.  And here is where it can get tricky, and you MUST have patience.

The first thing you need to do is set your ads to display everything available, and to create your Adzones with the most appropriate Keywords to your niche. You'll go back and "fix" your keyword selections in a few days after you have some test data.

Then you let you site "rest" for a couple of days, perhaps even a week.  Now you can go in an look to see who is bidding on Advertisements to display on your site (You know this by the Ads that are displaying). Now is the time to uncheck the display all ads, and let advertisers bid on your site.  This will take more days of testing, but this is the only way to figure out who is willing to pay and what you can effectively charge.

Unlike Adsense you can choose the ads to display and you can set your minimum price.  Set it too low and you get junk, set it too high and you get nothing!

After the "testing period" it's time to tweak your advertising campaigns.  If your keywords are too narrow you need to widen them to make your site more available to additional advertisers on the network.  So if your site were specifically about Chevy Corvettes and you picked a tight group of niche keywords that is not performing it's time to back up and select new keywords.

In this case you would want to consider such broad keywords as "Automotive", "Car Rental", "Insurance", "Loans".  That is how you'll get the ads that pay on your site.

Adbrite is a little more work to set up, and more work to monitor, but if you are careful and test your Ad Zones you really can make money with Adbrite.

Adbrite is also a great way for you to Test Advertisments BEFORE you jump on Googles Adwords program.

Best of luck with your Adbrite Campaigns.
