Bidvertiser Sucks - Look Elsewhere When Monetizing Your Site

Published by ejobtips under Advertising, Blogging Edit This

A while back when I was posting about blogging, I mentioned the advertising service Bidvertiser. While I have already gone into detail about some of the other ad programs that can monetize your blog, I never really made a stance on Bidvertiser. So, today I am going to give you my true and honest opinion on them. In my experience: Bidvertiser Sucks. Yes, I know that might seem a bit harsh, so let me back up my opinion. Around the time one of my blogs began to gain in popularity, I decided to look into ways of monetizing it. After a while, I came upon Bidvertiser, and it seemed to be the perfect option. Bidvertiser’s click-rate looked pretty good, the ad fit in well with my site, and best of all, there was only a $10 minimum to cash out. So, after signing up, I placed the code on my site and waited. One week later, I checked my Bidvertiser, and it said that I had gotten 0 clicks so far. That seemed a little strange, so I decided to check my website statistics. Strangely enough, it showed that my blog HAD gotten multiple clicks to Bidvertisers. I was a little suspicious, so I emailed the company. Later I got a response back saying that I should give the ad time. So, I wait another two weeks. Again, “0 clicks” shows up on Bidvertiser, while clicks show up on my website’s stats. By then I was beginning to get frustrated, so I sent another email to the company. Again, I was told to be patient. So, I decided to do a little bit of research on the company. Turns out, I’m not the only one with bad experiences. According to some of the comments on DigitalPoint and Google, Bidvertiser “sucks,” and “is the worst possible choice.” I also saw comments like: “don’t touch it with a 10 foot pole,” and “Bidvertiser is a bad monetization option.” That day, I decided to switch to Adwords. Within a week, my stats start to show clicks and I am being credited for them. So, maybe it’s just me & my blog, but in my opinion Bidvertiser is not the best option out there.
