AdBrite: The Internet’s Ad Marketplace
Payment Amount
Adbrite’s payment scheme works in a somewhat different manner to Adsense. AdBrite allows advertisers to choose which site they would like their ads placed on. This allows for a competitive market place to set the worth of ads on your site. This is great if you have a large site, delivering content to thousands of viewers a day – meaning that in the marketplace, hundreds of advertisers will be bidding high to get their ads on your site. However, if you run a small, low traffic website, advertisers will be less interested in your site in general – meaning less bids, and lower cost-per-click ads. They also offer network ads, this is similar to Google’s Adsense network, however the cost-per-click for these ads is very low. I would recommend AdBrite to any publisher with a large user driven site.
Payment Methods
AdBrite pay via check, with the minimum payout being $5. They use the term net-60 payout to describe how often you will get paid. Basically this means that your earnings must sit there for two months before they will send a check your way. So if you’re looking to see your hard work turn into cold hard cash quickly, I’d suggest another publisher program. (more…)
Yahoo Publisher Network
Payment Amount
Yahoo Publisher Network is one of the highest cost-per-click ad serving networks, meaning it is one of the best to use for the majority of publishers – however it is currently only available to a select few as it is still in somewhat of a trial mode (if you are in America, you should most definitely apply).
Payment Methods
Payments are made by check every 30-45 days, or Paypal.
Statistics Given
YPN gives publishers in depth statistics relating to their impressions and click through ratios.
Design and Ad Layout
The ad layout is similar to AdSense, image banner ads and text links. Easily customizable through the control panel.
Clicksor: Contextual Advertising
Payment Amount
Clicksor offer mid-range cost-per-click alternatives, and are good for all types of websites: from large user driven sites, to smaller niche based sites. Their cost-per-click are on par with most second tier ad serving programs, and you can expect around 5-10 cents per click.
Payment Methods
Payments are issued via Paypal when earnings reach $10, or Check when earnings reach $50. Payments are issued on a net-15 basis, meaning that all earnings are paid out 15 days after you have reached the payout amount.
Statistics Given
Clicksor statistics are very minimal offering revenue earned that day and the number of clicks on your website. (more…)
Chitika: Contextual Advertising
Payment Amount
Chitika offer one of the highest paying cost-per-click of all ad serving programs (very similar payment amounts to Adsense and YPN).
Payment Methods
Payment is made by either; Paypal – once earnings have reached $10, and Check – once earnings reach $50. Chitika has an alternate way of processing revenue, it leaves all clicks and reports earnings through the month as unaudited, and at the end of the month they are audited (multiple clicks from the same IP address are discounted etc…). This usually means that at the end of the month, a lot of your accrued revenue will be discounted. Despite this, Chitika is still a very good alternative ad serving program.
Statistics Given
Chitika give in depth statistics regarding average cost per click, impressions per day, clicks per day and what keywords had earned the largest revenue. (more…)
Creating Revenue Without Much Effort
Earning more revenue from your website is the goal of most webmasters. However, this is time consuming and with so many things to do options are what you need.
There are so many great ways to increase your sites revenue. To name a few: Adsense, Adbrite and BlogAds. These sites all provide third party sponsored link programs.

Rather than creating daily articles so your site has enough pages and content find yourself a feed to automatically generate page content for you.

First, you need to locate a content feed so you have enough pages on your site. Next, you need to find a third party sponsored link site who will deliver text or banner ads. (more…)
