Tips For Getting Approved By BuySellAds

BuySellAds is an online network of advertisers and publishers who are mutually supported.BuySellAds has long been the most successful of these kind of networks and has earned the trust of both publishers and advertisers alike.Getting approved for BuySellAds is very tough, in fact it is about a 100 times tougher than getting accepted into Adsense and yet many bloggers treat this as an adsense alternative.


BuySellAds can be a great source or revenue for a blogger if they have a blog with a decent amount of traffic on it.I personally feel that these kind of networks (BuySellAds, BlogAds etc) can earn more for a blogger than adsense.If making money online is your aim then you need to strive to get accepted into the BuySellAds network.

How to get accepted into BuySellAds?

The below stated points are those put forward by BuySellAds themselves to help the publishers, so they can be taken as information from the horses mouth.

  • Your blog must be getting a lot of traffic.Atleast 50000 page views a month to be able to enter the BuySellAds network as a publisher, without this much minimum traffic, they just won't accept your blog, unless you have another well established site already in BuySellAds.
  • Your blog must not be something that you made a few days back, it needs to have a lot of content and must have been established a while back.BuySellAds does not mention how old a blog must be before it gets approved, but the general notion is that a blog must be at-least 5 or 6 months old.
  • Your blog must have fresh content, unique and well written content.You cannot just copy something from other blogs (this can lead to a panda penalty).You need high quality content before even dreaming of getting into BuySellAds.
  • If your blog is non-english then you need to very high traffic to get accepted into the BuySellAds network.
  • Your blog must not have a lot of ads, especially untargeted ads, pop-ups etc.The homepage is recommended to be free of ads, read - making a better home page.
  • Your blog must have its own domain name, if you have a .blogspot.com or a .wordpress.com, it won't be accepted.
Now, let us look into some of the other requirements which have been observed by many bloggers including myself about the BuySellAds approval process.
  • You blog must have an Alexa Rank of below 100000 at-least.But this does not guarantee the inclusion of a site into BuySellAds.You have a more realistic chance of getting approved by BuySellAds if your Alexa rank is below 50000, if your Alexa Rank is below 10000 and your site is of decent quality then your blog will surely be accepted.
  • Your blog must have a page rank of at-least 3, although lower page rank websites do get accepted, page rank 3 and above are more likely to get accepted by BuySellAds.Look to build quality backlinks to increase your page rank.See when the next page rank update will occur.
  • At the time of applying, do not use rival ad networks such as BlogAds.
  • Your blog must have a very professional design and must have hundreds, if not thousands of followers from Facebook, Twitter and RSS.
So, if your blog fulfills all these needs, then you are pretty much sure to get added to the BuySellAds network.What do you guys think about BuySellAds? Please leave a comment below!

Chitika Vs Adbrite - CPC CPM Earnings Comparison

There are so many advertising networks these days and they are all in competition with each other and are hence striving to gain the upper-hand over others.So with this competition among the different ad networks, there is bound to exist some comparisons between them.So today we are comparing Chitika Vs Adbrite to see which one of them is the better paying ad network.We will also be seeing the other factors such as quality and variety of ads, ad-fill rate and payment process and ease of working.

Chitika Vs Adbrite

Average CPC and Average CPM
Chitika - From my experience of using Chitika, I would say that for USA clicks, you get around 5 to 10 cents maximum.Avera CPM was usually around 15 or 20 cents.


Adbrite - From my experience of using Adbrite, I would say that for USA clicks, you get around 10 cents average, I have noticed a few clicks going up to 80 cents.Average CPM for PPC ads were around 40 cents but for Interstitial ads it was well over 2$.


Quality Of Ads
Chitika - Very Poor: They seem to be running a scheme where they display "Answered-Questions" ads, which is their own property and when someone clicks this, they go to a page with Adsense Ads.You can imagine what is going on here.


Adbrite - Okay: They have a large number of advertisers but extremely untargeted.There are a few big companies advertising with Adbrite but these are few and far between.


Ad-Fill Rate:
Chitika - Very Poor: They have very poor ad coverage, only USA and Canada traffic gets at-least 50% ad-fill, the Asian countries get almost next to zero ad-fill.


Adbrite - Poor: They have a decent ad coverage, but sometimes we end up seeing blank spaces and "Advertise Here" ads.These may be intentionally shown as they are free advertising for adbrite itself.


Payments:
Both Adbrite and Chitika are prompt in their Payment.They payout as they say.


Customer Service:
Chitika: Good.They reply quickly and try to solve the problems of the publishers and advertisers.


Adbrite: Poor.They are not very prompt in returning queries made by publishers and advertisers.


Chitika Vs Adbrite CPC


Overall I would rate Adbrite as a better ad network than Chitika, but this is just my experience of using both the ad networks, please share your experiences by commenting below!

Bidvertiser is also a cpc ad network, but the cpc is not really that high, they pay very less for each click compared to the top three best cpc ad networks.

Top PPC Ad Network 5 - Clicksor
This is another ad network that supports multiple formats like CPC, CPM, but they are more famous for their really good CPM program rather than their CPC program which is not so great as it takes several clicks to reach 10cents.

Top PPC Ad Network 6 - Adhitz
A lesser known PPC ad network, lesser known for a good reason - they pay less compared to the top three best ppc ad networks.

Obeus is a decent ppc ad network, but the only drawback is that they do not have many advertisers, which will results in very less ad variety on your site.

Top Paying CPM Advertising Network

Admaya CPC Online Advertising Publishing Network Review 2012

Admaya ReviewAdmaya is an Indian Online Advertising Publishing Network, a relatively new comer in the Advertising Company.I ran Admaya for a couple of weeks on my three Blogs and I wanted to share some of the details with you, so that you can make a decision whether to join with Admaya or not.

CPC or CPM?
Admaya offers only CPC based Ads, which means you get money only for Clicks and not for Impressions(CPM).

Diversity of Ads
Admaya has two options, one which claims to be Contextual Ads while the other is Random Ads.I really did not see any Ads that were remotely related to the topic of this Blog, which is a Tech Blog.All I saw was Shaadi.com Ads and some other Matrimony Ads.If you run a dating website or a  Wedding related Website, then I would definitely suggest you to go for Admaya as they seem to have only these ads(My Experience).So diversity of ads is not their greatest strong point.

Coverage of Ads
Admaya seemed to have decent coverage, showing ads more than 90% of the time, which is better compared to AdBrite.Although its decent, it is not great, sometimes you will get a blank white space which will be a big distraction to your Readers and makes your Blog look Tacky.


Now Lets Move on to the really important stuff.

CPC
Admaya offers very Low CPC, around the range of 0.025$ or so, I am not giving exact CPC that I had, but it is around that figure.But most CPC Ad networks other than Adsense, Adbrite and Chitika are not much better in CPC.

Other Features
Admaya includes some good features, I have made a list of them here -
  1. Text/Banner Ads
  2. Referral Programs
  3. Ad Unit Statistics
  4. Profit Statistics
  5. Restricted Sites
  6. Request for Cash Withdrawal
  7. Payment through :  Check  PayPal   Bank transfer
  8. Transferring Funds Directly to Advertiser Account
Conclusion
Admaya, although it has some good features, is not a great earner, if you do not have Traffic that exceeds 100000 hits a month, I feel you may never reach pay out.Even with that traffic it will take you some time.So Overall I would give Admaya -

3/10 on a scale where Adsense is 9/10
