adsense competition? adsonar?

johnny6 · 08-27-2004, 10:54 PM

I've been looking into and trying out adsense competition (google has had that monopoly quite long enough).... anyone know of any that work?
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/google-adsense/45286-adsense-competition-adsonar.html
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

)

redhippo · 08-28-2004, 02:39 AM

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

Anthony · 08-28-2004, 08:04 PM

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

Those verticals they are currently accepting ppl from now dont look like places to get revenue from...

.edu · 08-29-2004, 07:16 AM

Anybody find something better then Google please let me know

P10n33R · 08-29-2004, 10:09 AM

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

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
