<\/a> Over the years that I’ve been online, I’ve picked up a few tricks here and there to help the site cover its own costs and make some money. Here I’ll be sharing a few ideas that might help other webmasters and bloggers to do the same.<\/p>\nI’ve tested each advertising network myself and I’m giving an honest review of each based on my personal experiences.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to making money from advertising networks, and you will probably have to spend a little time experimenting and testing different networks to find the best option for your website. <\/p>\n
Displaying adverts is a smart way to monetize your website. Of course the level of advertising is completely up to you \u2014 in effect it\u2019s money for nothing as most payout per 1000 page impressions.<\/p>\n
So let\u2019s have a look at some of the most popular options around; the good, the bad and the down right lousy:<\/p>\n
Valueclick Media<\/strong><\/a> (CPM) Valueclick Media<\/a> seems to be a bit hit and miss when used for a prolonged period of time, but when placed on a website for the first time, it is nothing short of amazing.<\/p>\n It\u2019s attractive to advertisers because it allows behavioral, contextual and demographic targeting \u2014 so in theory at least, it should only display adverts that are relevant to your website. However in my tests the targeting hasn\u2019t been as accurate as other networks.<\/p>\n BidVertiser<\/strong><\/a> (CPC \/ CPM) They pay through Paypal, which is always nice and the minimum payout is $10. Unlike most other networks, BidVertiser<\/a> only pay each per click, so it can take a while to make money from if you have a low traffic website. <\/p>\n This might be a good option if you have a high bounce rate and have no intention of lowering it. Bear in mind that this network relies on you driving visitors to your site, only to have them leave \u2014 hopefully through your adverts. <\/p>\n Chitika<\/strong><\/a> (CPA \/ CPC) This is great for both you and the advertiser; it means highly targeted adverts with higher click through rates. With that said, earnings can be unpredictable. <\/p>\n Paypopup<\/strong><\/a> (CPM) Google Adsense<\/strong><\/a> (CPC) With that said, it is still an OK option because it displays adverts that match the content of your site. <\/p>\n
\nValueclick is one of the largest and most effective online advertising solutions. It’s very easy to use and gives good payout rates \u2014 at least in the beginning. During the first few months this generated a good level of income for the site but within 6 months earnings dropped, while traffic increased. <\/p>\n
\nBidVertiser is another easy to use network. What I like about BidVertiser is their smaller network; they make sure the highest bidding advertiser is displayed on your site. <\/p>\n
\nChitika is clever. It provides search targeted results to your visitors, for example if they find your site via a search engine your Chitka advert block will display adverts related to their search.<\/p>\n
\nAs the name suggests, Paypopup offers decent payouts in exchange for running pop ups and pop-unders on your site. It\u2019s fairly straight forward and easy to use. The high payouts come at a cost \u2014 pop ups are not popular with site visitors.<\/p>\n
\nAdsense used to be good\u2026 really good. Over the last couple of years, as more people began to display Adsense on their website, it has lost a lot of its magic. Earnings have fallen by around 90% in recent years. <\/p>\n
