Alternatives To BuySellAds

Hi William. Many thanks for your reply. I have tried some CPA networks before and did not have much positive results. Maybe back then my website was younger and maybe now there is much better chance to dive in. I'll give it a go and see. Thanks again and do have a nice day.

Adclays is a new competitor to buysellads with lower fees of 15% compared to 25%. It is currently in beta and offering 10% fee during this period. One feature which we have is the ability to run backfill ads when your space has not been sold thereby still earning you money.

Disclaimer: I work for Adclays.

Thanks. I tried AdBrite before and it did not work very well for me. BSA in this case has been serving me well in comparison. It does not mean that it won't work now as I have abandoned AdBrite a long time ago. Maybe I'll look into it again and give it another shot. Thanks

TLA is great and I have been using them for a while now. Still I am looking for alternatives to BSA only. Thanks anyway for taking the time to comment. Appreciate it.

I've tried to get into Buy Sell Ads, but I haven't had any luck. I'm way over their traffic requirements, but my blogs appear to be in the wrong niche for them.

I've tried Value Click Media, Burst Media, Banner Connect, Technorati Media, and Adtegrity.

Value Click Media and Banner Connect were terrible for me. I can't remember now, but the cpm's were around 20 cents or so.

Burst Media has some decent CPMs--around $.90 after they keep 50% but they only fill about 50% of your inventory so you need defaults set. Their 300x250 squares are good, but their 728x90 banners are not great.

Adtegrity has 500k monthly minimum page view requirement. I thought because it's difficult to meet traffic requirements that they would have high CPMs. So far, their CPM's kind of suck, around net $.50 with 100% fill at best. On some of my sites, the CPM's have ranged from .14 to .20 cents with Adtegrity.

The other thing I don't like about Adtegrity is that they have really crappy ads. I mostly see spammy looking Forex ads or junky online game sites with cartoons and stuff like that. Probably the worst quality ads I've seen compared to the other networks I've tried. You also have no control over selecting your inventory online, but you can email them to apply filters to the ads. There's also no option for default ads or cutoff cpms.

Most of our traffic is U.S. traffic, but it's really hard to find $3.50 cpms these days from my testing. I don't know if it's really possible, maybe with Tribal Fusion or something similar. So far, I haven't found any ads that can do a buck cpm and I serve over 500k page views per ad location with mostly U.S traffic.

I've tried a few CPA networks, at best, they've offered to buy U.S. only inventory at 50 cents cpm.

I've applied and was rejected by Casale Media for some unknown reason since I met their requirements quite easily. I think I've applied to Blog Ads and they also rejected my application.

Thanks a ton for letting me know about these networks. I am already a BSA user and I was looking for some alternatives to set up for some websites I have that currently do not meet BSA's requirements. Thanks and I'll check out on the networks you mentioned.

Casale rejected me too. They can't fill the inventory for my niche. I was told to check back in 3 or 6 months.

Did the same here and although they have virtually no inventory yet, I think that they might be working on it and being n the "band" wagon first can be something positive to look at. So let's see how they perform.

Buysellads is the best.

Online Advertising - AdvertiseSpace, i see some bloggers are using this network.

Blogads are also an alternative. You can find some nice deals at quality, high traffic blogs there.

alternatives i would suggest adsense,adbrite,tribalfusion...

Hi Anwar,

Typically it's because conversions for CPA offers aren't that good. At least that's been my experience and I've tested hundreds of them from one of my high-traffic sites.

The only exception is if the CPA offer is very specific to your site's theme or content. For example: if you have a "Popular baby names" web site, and the CPA offer is something like, "a year's supply of free diapers". In that case, you'll kill it with that CPA offer.

The Banner/Rich-Media display game can be quite profitable if you have volume - and even more so than running CPA offers. It's a numbers game like many other things; but also involves a lot of network "chaining", defaulting to networks that have inventory, and other tactics.

Yes, they look good but I would also advise to try Fidelity Media...
They are brand safe and always pay in time...
Good luck!
