Darren,

Have you tried doing any Stumble arbitrage? Run 3 banner ads, each with a $20 cpm ($60 total) and use it to buy Stumbles by the thousand ($50). If you don’t violate the TOS you can get paid to drive traffic to your site.

I have been trying to get more going with the ad networks, but I was turned down twice because I was using the Entrecard social network and the traffic isn’t considered to be worth much. I have removed the Entrecard widget and my drop rate is going down, and my Alexa is still under 100K. Most of the traffic from Entrecard was from, drive-by-droppers, so I am not losing much.

Which ad network works best for one person will vary drastically to the next based on niche/topic, traffic, season, etc. Just like Google Adsense does not work well for everyone, any given ad network may not work well for everyone. The “big 5″ are generally considered to be Tribal Fusion, Burst, Valueclick, Casale, and Adsense though. Although from my experience and word of mouth, ADSDAQ seems to be a viable option as well these days.

Google cut us off due to content because many of our posters like to use the F and N words. Actually I find that quite ridiculous and the smart thing to do would be to offer categories so advertisers could select “mature” or “family friendly” sites to advertise on. Have you seen how many porn sites use Google Adwords to advertise? So Google is willing to accept “mature” advertisers but not Adsense publishers. Make sense to anyone?

Hi Darren,

You could write a post asking the readers which ad network worked best with them, if they had experimented with few.

Or has it happened ?

Excellent post, my blog was not accepted for one advertising company because the alexa rank was not low enough. However now it would be accepted just because the alexa has changed although my alexa compared to other websites is quite low i do not yet receive the traffic i should do.

I think content is the most important thing when we going to approve our blog with ad networks.Specially google not accept any less content sites.

Looks like that is a far away dream for someone like me who is starting out in this business. I agree that the non-US bias can be frustrating. It certainly limits blogs.

Lots thank you for another portion of light spilled on the topic.
I’m freshstarter blogger and seeking for useful info enywhere.
May be due to my low experience I have chosen free ways to start web business. I dream to make a really working set of free programs to represent them on my blog to my visitors pleasure. And now I am trying promote it in any possible way, but still not succeed. Could you give me a couple of ideas please?
Thanks again,
Ali, Ukraine

At first it is difficult but after you get the ball rolling and start getting some traffic you get flooded with offers. Check out the Yahoo partnership, they have some that will deny you at first then they will change your mind after you have traffic with the other ads.

I avoid ad networks because I value 1) my readers, and 2) my stance regarding certain products.

I have warned my readers away from quack remedies and we’ll-cure-you-fast scams. And it seems like the only ads that might be displayed on my site are exactly for those schemes!

Less income, but more integrity!
