Jump to: recommended sites - all sites

 

These are sites that help you make money with your web site or blog by using some of the space on your site to advertise for other sites or products. In many ad programs, you earn whenever someone visits your site and clicks on the ad (referred to as pay-per-click or PPC ads). In others, you earn whenever an ad is viewed - these ads are pay-per-impression.

There are a number of different types of ads: banner ads, text ads, ads inserted into pictures or videos, interstitial ads which appear when people are moving from one page to another on your site, pop-up/pop-under ads, and so on. Ads may also be contextual, which mean that the ad is based on the content of the page that the ad appears on.

Webmasters should always remember that some forms of advertising are less popular than others. The best ads blend in with your site, do not annoy or harass your visitors, and are relevant enough so that your visitors will occasionally click on them.

If you have a blog, there are additional ways to make money with your site. So, be sure to visit the Paid Blogging section of the directory.

AdBrite is a large supplier of several different types of ads for your web site or blog. You can choose from text ads, banner ads, and interstitial ads. All types of ads are highly customizable. Where AdBrite excels is in the amount of control you have over the ads placed on your site. You can set the prices you want to charge for the ads, set time frames for how long the ads will stay on your site, and so on.

BritePic is a service by AdBrite that allows you to add a tiny menu to the images on your site. Users of your site can then interact with them - zoom in, email or print the images, and more. You then have the option of putting a small ad at the top of the images, which you will earn money from. Even if you choose not to use the built-in ads with BritePic, the other features are free to use on your site, making it an attractive option for webmasters.

Chitika is a provider of mainly shopping-related advertising. They are best known for their "eMiniMalls" which allow users of your site to compare prices and shop for items without even leaving your site. They also offer other forms of ads, such as "related products" text ads. All of their ads are pay per click. If your site is based around consumer products in some way, Chitika is a good choice. They require that your site receive at least 10,000 pageviews per month in order to apply.

Google Adsense is the most popular and widely known text ad service. Google scans your pages and then provides contextual ads that are specifically tailored to the content of your pages. Google's ads are pay-per-click, with the amount per click varying depending on the underlying keyword for each ad. In addition to text ads, they provide affiliate banners and buttons, as well as an option to place a Google search box on your site, which pays when people click on the ads in the search results. Adsense makes it easy for even newer or smaller sites to earn some advertising revenue.

MIVA is a contextual ad network with several different kinds of ads. You can choose from various sizes of text ad blocks, inline ads which appear when a visitor of your site hovers their mouse over a keyword, and search ads which can be integrated into the search function on your site. MIVA tailors ads towards the content of your pages, and also let you specify keywords for the ads in order to fine-tune them further. All of MIVA's ads are pay-per-click.

Project Wonderful is an ad network where essentially anyone can bid on ad spaces on your site. Most bids are automatically placed through the Project Wonderful site, rather than being individually placed. An advertiser keeps their spot on your page until they are outbid or until their bid expires, at which time the next highest bidder gets the space. You may also set minimum bid amounts if you choose. Project Wonderful is a relatively new network and so bids are currently lower than more established networks, but their unique bidding system almost guarantees that your ad space will be bid on at all times.

Text Link Ads specializes in text ads for your site or blog and is a popular alternative to Google Adsense. You decide how many ads to place and where on your site to place them. This, along with your site's traffic, will determine how much each ad will pay out when Text Link Ads sells the spot to an advertiser. These ads are not contextual ads, so you may approve or deny ads as you wish and you can use Text Link Ads alongside other text ads on your site.

Vizu Web Polls will pay you to add interactive polls to your site. These polls are provided by Vizu's clients, who are interested in hearing from your site's audience. The polls are placed directly on your site wherever you choose, and the look of the polls can be customized to some degree. An added advantage of choosing polls over traditional advertising is that you can make money without your visitors ever leaving your site.
