In response to Greg’s post:
Google does allow AdBrite to run on the same page. There is a thread over at webmasterworld where both the founder of AdBrite and AdsenseAdvisor (a Google rep) posted it was alright.

Also, i’m confused by your post. I just looked at the AdBrite blog package and it clearly shows which sites are included (KevinRose, BoingBoing, Gawker, Gizmodo, etc.)

I don’t know why they wouldn’t Greg.

As far as I can see Google don’t let ads that look too much like Google ads or that are contextual ads. Apart from that I think you can use any other types of ads.

I just thought I would point out to those who don’t know, Adsense does not allow Adbright and adsense on the same page. That is what is being said at many forums.

Dareen,

I checked blogging package. The estimated cost per click is $0.30, which is a bit high considering you don’t get branding with it (as you would with BlogAds for instance). I mentioned ‘estimated’ because you’re not buying clicks (as you would with Adsense for instance), you’re just buying your ad being displayed. They estimate how many clicks your ad will get, but based on previous performance of previous ads and advertisers. Click-thru might change dramatically depending on the text ad and the advertiser, affecting big time your cost per click.

Don’t get me wrong, I think the package deal is a good idea for people who need volume. I also agree with you, they need to do the blog breakdown to let you know what blogs are you displaying your and into.

That’s my $.02 contribution ;-)
