Adbrite - A Well Paying Network

A great way to monetize your blog is by joining AdBrite, an advertising program that pays you to display ads on your blogs. For anyone who hasn't heard of AdBrite, it is program that allows you to sell link ads on your websites. Nothing unusual there you might think and you'd be right. What makes AdBrite different from something like Text Link Ads is that you can choose to display network ads at times when advertisers haven't bought any links directly from you.A great advantage of joining AdBrite is you have greater power over what is displayed on your blog and at what price. AdBrite offers a few ad options that you can choose from, including CPC-based text ads to picture and video ads


Registration and Acceptance:
It is very easy to get accepted into AdBrite - simply complete the online application form, submit your site to the directory, place your ad code and away you go. They don't have any strict PageRank or traffic requirements like other programs. AdBrite is open to publishers from all over the world. One problem people encounter is that the application form asks for a US Social Security Number - being from the Indonesia I don't have one of those, so I just left the space blank and have had no problems.

Network Ads:
The network ads look very similar to AdSense for content units and AdBrite now offer inline ads too (shown in image above). The inline ads, which appear under keywords in your text, have a particularly good click thru rate. You get paid a small amount, typically 5 - 50 cents, for every click on a network ad. The image below shows a fairly typical day's earnings of 15 cents per click. Network ads aren't contextual, so they don't necessarily fit with the theme of your site. A lot of publishers choose to display network ads only - if you have regular traffic to your site you can make very good money from them.

Payment
Like AdSense, AdBrite does not publish how much it collects from your total earning. However, it is presumed to be around 25% to 30%. AdBrite mails out checks every 60 days. The default minimum amount paid is $100, but you can change this to as low as $5. If your earn less than the minimum amount, the payment is rolled over into the next month.

In short, AdBrite is an alternative for bloggers looking to make money online. It offers greater flexibility and although it has some downfalls, it is worth checking out. A word of advice is that AdBrite is more suitable for blogs with high amount of traffic. Blogs that earn low with AdSense could very well be making more cash with AdBrite. What’s more, AdBrite provides a great customer support and responses are usually sent out within 24 hours.
