Hi,

I was planning to place Adsense on my blog but it does looky spammy but instead I would like to put a panel of logo PPC. Something that TechCrunch does perfectly well. Can anyone recommend an ad network for this?

    Hi,

    Are you suggesting I put affiliate links as banners? I should be able to do this no problem but can I make my own using the mechants logos?

    The appeal of CPC ads is that I will make some money garenteed for every click.

    Yes Adsense ads are notoriously ugly and you have very little control of what shows up. A compromise is to select 'image ads only' which generally look better - though you will earn less than you would if you were to allow Google to decide what to place there. It's a complete pain really.

    Hey,

    Most experienced IM'ers would tell you to put on an affiliate or CPA offers. This is due to the low payout from Google Adsense.

    If your blog is good and visitors engage with the content, you can make some serious money with affiliate offers. However, make sure that the affiliate offers are relevant and the product vendors are selling a great product, or your credibility will be tarnished.

    I believe that focusing too much on Adsense will only inhibit your blog's income potential.

    Thanks my whole site is hardcoded though.

    I can use bsnner ads from the network but they also look spammy.

    Instead of an ad network, how about just hosting links to your own CPA offers? I typically almost always recommend hosting your own offers opposed to selling space for ads like Adsense
