CPM ad networks
- · Pop-ups
- · Paid reviews
1. Pay per clickadvertising
Pay-Per-Click ads,
also known as Cost Per Click or CPC, is one of the most common models of
internet advertising. It simply means an advertiser will pay you once someone
clicks on their ad.
Infolinks
Infolinks is one of the best ways to implement in-text
advertising on your blog. It offers publishers a 70% revenue share and follows
a PPC (pay-per-click) model. In-text ads are double-underlined words on a page
that show up as ads when clicked.
Infolinks also offers
other options such as insearch ads, intag ads and inframe ads. They pay you via
Paypal, Wire Transfer, ACH, Payoneer, eCheck or Western Union once you reach
the initial limit of $50 for Paypal or eCheck or $100 for Wire Transfer and WU,
so it depends on the mode of payment you’ve chosen.
Media.net
Media.net is another big alternative to Adsense and is
powered by the Yahoo Bing Network. The ads featured are contextual focusing on
relevant keywords and that takes some time before they are optimized for your
site. As you keep using this network, soon the algorithm will determine the
best keywords for your audience based on the clicks.
As opposed to Adsense,
Media.net assigns a dedicated Account rep who can also suggest you ways to
making more revenues from your ads. The money transfer options are wire
transfer or Paypal. Minimum threshold for payouts is $100.
Chitika
Chitika is another alternative that only serves
contextual ads and offers a CPC program. You can customize your ads and use
them along with, if not instead of, Google Adsense with no problems.
The best thing? They
have a small minimum threshold of $10 if getting paid via Paypal. If you’re
opting to get paid via check, the threshold is $50.
2. Sell ads on your
blog
If you’re already
getting a decent traffic, you may want to take things in your control and sell
direct ads on your website. All you need is an “Advertise with us” page on your
blog listing out the different formats of ads available and how much it costs
per month. Make sure to mention your Alexa rank, Google Page Rank, and other
traffic stats for buyers to know.
But if you want to
save yourself the hassle of selling, you can use the following third-party
alternatives to sell ads on your blog:
BuySellAds
BuySellAds is an online ad-marketplace where you can list
your ads for others to buy. They don’t accept low traffic blogs so if you’re
just starting out, you may want to wait for at least a few months before you
start generating good traffic.
BuySellAds gives 75%
of the total earnings to its publishers, which is pretty decent. There is no
minimum threshold for payouts and you can remove money two times every month to
your Paypal.
BlogAds
BlogAds works in a similar manner as BuySellAds. They
keep 30% of all ad sales as their commission. If you refer new users, you can
earn a cool 15% of the earnings also.
If you’re receiving
money via Paypal, you need to have minimum funds of $75 and for Check or Wire
Transfer, it’s $750.
3. Sell text links on
your blog
If you get good
organic traffic on your blog, you can try text-link ads where you link a piece
of text on your site to another page on a different site.
Before you try these,
make sure you use the No follow tag to combat any possible Google penalty.
LinkWorth
LinkWorth is a popular text-link network where you’ll
also find options to use rotating text ads, paid reviews etc.
Minimum threshold for
payouts is $25 if you’re using Paypal, and $100 for Check, Wire Transfer and
EFT.
4. “Cost per Click” ad
networks
So far we’ve been
looking at mostly CPC (Cost Per Click) model for ads. CPC means the advertiser
pays you when someone clicks through their ads. An alternative to this is CPM
(Cost per Thousand) where you are paid for every 1,000 ad impressions served.
With CPC, your income
can vary hugely but that isn’t the case with CPM. If your CPM network sets your
CPM at, let’s say, $5 per 100,000 impressions then you will make $500 in total
when that number is reached.
PulsePoint
PulsePoint is a popular CPM network where you can set
your own CPM prices. In order to be accepted in their network your site needs
to have good amount of original content. They mostly sell to a US-based
traffic. When setting the price, set a higher price than you make on your
backup (example Adsense). If they can’t beat that price, your backup is
displayed.
You receive your
earnings every 45 days via EFT, Paypal or check.
5. Pop-ups
Granted, many advertisers and bloggers dislike popup ads but
it’s still an option. You can display these ads as pop-ups or pop-unders
PopAds
PopAds offers pop-under ads and works quite well with
an English-speaking traffic. You set your own price and the popunder frequency
for each visitor.
You can get paid via
AlertPay, Paypal, and Wire Transfer, and you can withdraw payments any time.
They also run a referral program at 10% of the earnings.
6. Paid reviews
You can make some good
money by publishing reviews on various products and services that you trust.
The best thing about this arrangement is you command a price per review. I’ve
seen websites asking anywhere from $150 to $500 for reviews. Of course it
depends on your rank and incoming traffic as well as your niche.
SponsoredReviews
SponsoredReviews allows advertisers to build backlinks and
bloggers to make money. It connects bloggers with Search Engine Optimizer,
Marketers and Advertisers who want to build traffic.
You can offer writing
paid posts on your blog to their network of hundreds of advertisers. Set your
own price per piece. And you’re not expected to write positive reviews only –
honest and in-depth posts are welcome.
Payments are made
bi-weekly via Paypal.
PayU2Blog
PayU2Blog is another alternative for getting paid to
write blog posts on your site. Not all blogs are taken in, so you may want to
sign up and wait before you know.
PayU2Blog works a
little differently in that they assign you a blog post topic in areas such as
real estate, health, retail, etc. You don’t have to write glorious reviews or
endorse anything if you don’t believe in a product or service.Personal
experience, honest opinions are encouraged.
You get paid via
Paypal every two weeks.
