Making Money with AdBrite

Posted Tuesday, February 10th, 2009 at 10:26 pm by: Jesse Price

AdBrite has been around for over 7 years which means it’s a much bigger network with a broad marketplace. Many webmasters will often display AdBrite since there are more ways to monetize rather than the common (CPM) and (CPC) programs like Google Adsense. AdBrite does not use contextual ads based on the content of the page however, it is based off the keywords and niches you select when creating a new ad zone.

AdBrite Features

There are many different types of “ad zones” that Adbrite offers that are easy to integrate and customize to help compliment the site’s appearance. I personally feel that I have more flexibility on how these ads display rather than Google Adsense. There are three main types of ad units and they are:

Banner and Text Ads
This is one of the most common ad units that webmasters display. You can choose from 5 standard sizes, font styles, borders and other form of design. Banner ads are similar to Google Adsense in how banners can be links or graphic banners however they are not “contextual” ads. The text link ad zone is a different “entity” of this ad type. Text ads provides the publisher with the most flexibility when displaying text link ads. You can alter the style of the links by using css (cascading style sheets) so it becomes well blended with the site. These ads also allow for advertisers to directly purchase ad space from your site where you can dictate what the fees are. This can be the quickest way to allow users to purchase links rather than programming or installing an affiliation / advertising management system.

Full Page Ads
Ever landed on a page where the site seems to have “redirected” but not really? These are the famous “Full Page Ads” and I believe it’s a better replacement to annoying pop-ups. This ad type can still be annoying but it does provide a big fat button where they can “Skip Advertisement” which makes it “less annoying”. This unit provides the publisher a better CPM (cost per impressions) and can also be used with Adsense without violating the Google TOS.

Inline Ads
Sometimes annoying but very effective, these inline ads pop-up a little block element that has more information about the “linked text” that is automatically determined by AdBrite. These little “tool tip” style pop-ups only appear when the user hovers over these links.

My Conclusion

I recommend using AdBrite’s publisher or advertising network. Browse the AdBrite market place and find many high ranked websites and actually purchase links and ad space directly from AdBrite. Internet marketing professionals all know that in order to successfully market a product on the world wide web, you need to seek out all the available opportunities in order to succeed. Using AdBrite with Adsense does not violate the Google TOS so I strongly recommend using both services. Why monetize one way when you can monetize many other ways?
