How to Make Money With Bidvertiser (Plus An Extra Way)
When I started blogging, Adsense was the only known monetization way to me. With the passage of time I came to know that Google Adsense is not the only program out there. There are some alternatives.
While Adsense is still the best advertising network, you can consider trying some alternatives to increase your revenue. A while back I’ve written a post about some high paying Adsense alternatives. Bidvertiser is in the first place on that list.
Actually it’s hard to say that Bidvertiser is the best Adsense alternative. It depends what works for you. What works for me might not work for you. So I would suggest you to do A/B testing to find out what works for you.
Today I am going to tell you about Bidvertiser which is considered as one of the best Adsense alternatives. If you got denied by Adsense or Adsense banned your account, read on. I will show you how to make money with Bidvertiser with an extra way.
What is Bidvertiser? How does it Work?
Bidvertiser is an advertising network like Adsense. It’s a Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising agency founded in 2003. It has started its journey on the same year Adsense did. So you can trust on Bidvertiser.
The way that Bidvertiser works is little bit different from other advertising networks. While most of the ad networks show ads based on context or interest of the visitors, Bidvertiser creates a bidding system that allows the highest bidder to advertise on your site. So if you have a quality site, you’ll have the chance to get high paying ads. You will get paid for clicks, not for impressions. It also pays extra revenue for conversions.
Bidvertiser Vs Adsense
Bidvertiser is a great Adsense alternative. As some of the Bidvertiser ads look like Adsense ads, you shouldn’t use both ads alongside. But it’s Ok to use Bidvertiser ads with Adsense ads. The rate of pay per click of Bidvertiser is comparatively lower than Adsense. It will increase if you stay longer with Bidvertiser as it takes some times to get your site found by highest bidders.
Bidvertiser Products – What type of Ads they Serve?
Bidvertiser offers 3 ways to make money from your blog.
1. Ad Formats
BidVertiser supports 4 groups of ads: Banners, Inline Ads and Skyscrapers. All ads are fully customizable to fit the site’s look & feel. These ads look like Adsense ads.
2. Toolbar Creator
You can create and distribute your own customized toolbar to earn money. To be honest, I never tried this option. And I don’t think people are going to install the toolbar this way.
3. XML Feeds
XML Feeds allow you to place Bidvertiser ads in your search results or web apps.

Revenue stats update once in 24 hours during business days and once in 72 hours on weekends. It doesn’t show the real time data like Adsense. It shows something call ‘Revenue Points’ instead of number of clicks and pay per click. Actually I don’t find it very user friendly.
