Hi, Monika here. Today about AdBrite.
AdBrite, dubbed “The Internet Ads Marketplace” and based in California, is yet another way to monetize your site. AdBrite is a marketplace to buy and sell online advertising. It cooperates with over 118,000 sites (it’s ads reach in average 277 million impressions).
You can work with AdBrite as an advertiser (buy ads), or as a publisher (sell ads) similarly to Google, where you can buy ads (AdWords) and publish them (AdSense).
What does it mean?
If you are a publisher AdBrite puts relevant ads on you website and pays you when your visitors click on them.
If you are an advertiser AdBrite allows you to create online advertising campaigns targeting keywords and choose specific websites that you would like to advertise on.
AdBrite offers publishers many types of advertisements:
- Text ads - Customizable layout, colours, and fonts
- Banner ads - IAB standard sizes
- Inline Ads - The Inline ads format allows you to display an ad only when a user scrolls over a given word—saving you a lot of space.
- BritePic - this format allows you to monetize photos on your site with interactive text ads. Captions slide out whenever a user hovers over the image. All you have to do is use a BritePic tag instead of the <img> tag in your site.
- Full Page Ad - this format allows you to earn the highest CPM (cost per thousand impressions) in AdBrite’s marketplace, running ads from some of their advertisers.
Of course you as a publisher have a big influence on which ads appear on your website. You are able to block ads with inappropriate content, or those that come from your competitors. You can also adjust the way ads appear by amending the fonts, colours and other features.
The important thing is that AdBrite works well alongside other ads programs, such as AdSense (there are some specific requirements you need to meet). Another important feature is that AdBrite customers can choose to buy ads that will specifically appear only on your site.
AdBrite is free to sign up. You can register by simply filling your contact details, Tax File Number. You get paid by cheque which has a minimum amount of USD 100, but you can set a different amount if you prefer. Payments come monthly, but two month after you accrue them. This means that you will normally get paid in September for earnings from July etc. Cheque takes 7-10 business days to arrive (if you are in USA) and up to 21 business days if you have a non-US address.
AdBrite provides statistics in which you can view your earnings by month, by ad zone & by ad format. Statistics will also give you access to information on when your last cheque was processed. However, you rarely need this information as AdBrite usually sends you and email to let you know when a cheque is coming your way.
We will sign in for AdBrite and let you know what we think soon. If you wish to find out more yourself, go to http://www.adbrite.com/.
There are many people out there who earn substantial amounts of money with AdBrite and AdSense. The only catch is to generate traffic to your website/blog first. There is no need to have ads appearing on your website if no one is clicking on them, right? We will get back to ways to generate traffic in future posts.
