Personal Blog Income

Allow me to introduce Adbrite, another good way to monetize your blog and it is appealing even to new blogs as you can get their ads showing from day one on your blog.

How does Adbrite Work?

Adbrite works by inserting a snippet of html code on your webpage which can serve any combination of the following ad formats:

• Text Link Ads - the advertiser can set the text that they wish to display in their ad in a text only format
• Banner Ads - a graphic in any of .jpg, .gif, ,swf (flash) and some format codes that are displayed where you select on your site
• Active Interstitials - a full screen ad displayed on the third pageview of your site which is shown only once per user per day
• Inline Ads - text links that appear only when the user hovers the cursor over selected keywords double underlined on your site. Right now it is also limited only to internet explorer ads

In addition anyone visiting your site can buy an ad directly on your site by clicking the “Your Ad Here” displayed with your site. Advertisers can also find your site listed in the AdBrite marketplace.

What kind of blogs can get Adbrite?

The Adbrite program is open to almost all blogs and websites accross a wide range of possible advertiser from family friendly through to adult and gambling related sites

How much do you get paid?

As with all advertising programs it can vary on a number of factors including your ad style, traffic and click throughs. Unlike a lot of other advertising programs the price for your ad is flexible and you can control the price per ad. And if AdBrite isn’t meeting your preset goals then you can also have it display ads from the other ad networks you use (eg Adsense)

How do you get paid

Payment is via check which are processed two months after the end of month you have reached the minimum amount set. By default this is set at $100 but you can change it to any amount equal to or greater than $5.

Do you have control of what ads are displayed on your blog?

Yes totally. You can set the category of ads suitable for your blog and also opt to display network ads targeted to your blog content. You can either auto approve ads or alternatively manually approve each ad before it is displayed. As mentioned above you can also choose which format(s) you wish displayed on your blog and set the size and even number of characters in the ads.

Can you use Adbrite along with other ad systems on your blog?

Yes. You do however need to consider program rules from other advertisers (eg Google) that may exclude certain formats of Adbrite.

I have in the past used Adbrite with some success and indeed one of my dead blogs i no longer write to is still making money through both text links and Interstitials. In addition the ads running currently under “sponsors” in my sidebar are provided by Adbrite.
