I was curious as to whether anyone in the forum has any experience with Adbrite or any of the other substitutes for Adsense and what your findings have been on the pros and cons of using an advertising source outside of Google.

I'll appreciate any input.

Thanks

I tried adbrite as both an advertiser and putting the ads on my site and got awful results.

I'm the ownder of WallStreetWindow.com where I do several big mega launches a year. I also moderate a mastermind group of financial stock trading/forex marketers and affiliate marketers who shares ideas and a launch calendar check it out: http://theprivatealliance.com

Please do not use Adbrite. I've given them several chances with zero results. Junk traffic if you ask me. Furthermore, I heard that they recently reduced their work force by 75% which is not a good sign. Could they be going under?

There is no real substitute for Adsense because Google has such a huge pool of advertisers. YPN is performing very poorly and very tough to get into. Microsoft just launched their version in beta... you can apply and try.

Adbrite doesn't have the advertisers and is not very good at targeting ads to sites. Plus their ad options are weak.

You can still make money with Adbrite, but you need a solid niche and a lot of traffic. When you have that you also have to set your lowest bid price to something acceptable to you. Otherwise you just get a bunch of useless ads that nobody clicks on.

I was just talking to a buddy of mine about this the other day. We were looking at myspace ads. He's in the health marketing niche and did some tests on it. Myspace is very targeted and has some good things about it. We are still testing though. Will let you guys no what we find.

Thinking about Facebook but it depends on what your advertising. I had to remember that on Facebook people usually aren't in a mood to be sold to so it has to be something people may want to opt into or sign up for. Having your banner go to a sales page is not going to work. People are networking and don't have time to read sales pages. Plus a majority of them including myself have banner blindness. The banner has to pop. The landing has to be a squeeze or a high converting landing page for Facebook to work. My opinion.

Also looking into blog ad networks but don't know any reputable ones. You guys know of any?

Great post.

Today morning I was trying to add a MYSpace ad and to my relationship site, and this was the first time ever I had tried to be on MySpace. Unfortunately their login system seemed to be broken to me. I mean, I could not find a way to create an advertiser account. They have a good-looking button asking to get started now all oevr, which seems to take me to a page, and any further click to the subsequent step beings me back to the same page.

Would love to toy with MySpace - worth a shot. And now you have substantiated my intuition with yours. Would be great to know when you prove/disprove.
