adsense competition? adsonar?
 
I've been looking into and trying out adsense competition (google has had that monopoly quite long enough).... anyone know of any that work?
Clicksor was not impressive. Bidclix was not so good. A few other programs were equally unimpressive.
However, I saw some rave reviews for Adsonar (although everyone says they pay less than adsense - surprise!). I *think* Adsonar is essentially overture's answer to adsense.... I have high hopes for it - has anyone tried it? Has it worked well? I guees I'll see what happens and let everyone know. :) It's just so odd that there just aren't good competitors to adsense and adwords (overture precision match is pretty good thus far, but i haven't fully tested them out yet).
Who knows. Not me. We never lost control. Cheers,
John

not I. but I do know of another called "AdHearus.com" that I use. They pay about 25-30% more than Adsense too.

worth a look at least. (If you signup with Adhearus, please use me as the referal :))

adhearus really sucks, their ads are very unattractive and i practically didn't get any lciks because of that. where is a link to adsolar?

LeeRyder 08-28-2004 01:06 AM

thats odd 1rr1, I cant blame adhearus for their customers ad tastes..but the click through rate was roughly double that of Adsense for me.

weird.

*BTW 1RR1, is your name for the 1000R Sportbike? (i have a 600 ;))

Anthony 08-28-2004 02:42 AM

What is this AdSonar and how did you hear about it?

1rrr1 08-28-2004 07:36 PM

i don't have a clue either, i haven't tried it or got a link to it.

johnny6 08-28-2004 07:44 PM

i did a number of searches for phrases like "adsense competition" and such. and i vaguely remember hearing it mentioned on like httptalk or some forum like that.... guess i should give it a shot, was hoping someone had experience. cheers,
john

Oh, here's a URL for you:
http://www.adsonar.com/admin/advertisers/index.htm

Looks like they are in BETA mode and have something to do with a company called Quigo...

johnny6 08-28-2004 08:15 PM

yeah i think quigo is owned by overture or something like that

1rrr1 08-29-2004 03:50 AM

seems good, but i won't sign up yet as i don't have a ite in those catagories.

stjjchs 08-29-2004 04:39 AM

Good catch! Apparently Google doesn't think there's anything better than Google out there! :lol:

kaliboy2g 08-29-2004 03:09 PM

Yea im getting that here too. Im personally using adsense and doing quite well per click. I wont discuss the exact amount because of their T.o.S

Darkfire001 08-29-2004 04:37 PM

Well, For a while my google adsense revenue was really small, but its growing at a rapid rate now since it seems like the image ads, have boosted CTR.

kaliboy2g 09-01-2004 06:57 PM

Question, are you getting more clicks on banner or text ads only?

Anthony 09-01-2004 10:07 PM

So is anyone planning on trying out AdSonar or what? Who wants to be the guinea pig?

johnny6 09-01-2004 10:36 PM

i applied, anthony. unfortunately i don't have any beauty or education sites so i doubt they'll let me on until the beta period is over...which should be soon....
I'm giving clicksor and bidvertiser another shot now. I'd like to see something work - anything to bring down the google behemoth and knock a little of that chip off their collective shoulder.
Also, I've heard rumors of CJ starting a contextually based ad program in the not-so-distant future. THAT would be something to check out.
Will keep posted, I guess. Cheers,
john
