BidVertiser Vs. AdSense

Which Ads Should You Use on Your Website?

If you advertise on your website or blog, and are you interested in alternatives to AdSense, this article is for you. Here, I will be comparing BidVertiser and AdSense.

Some warning

BidVertiser ads are very similar to Google's AdSense. For that reason, you should not mix AdSense and BidVertiser ads on the same web page at the same time. You can experiment by using AdSense for some time, and then BidVertiser ads for another time; you can have AdSense on one web page and BidVertiser on another web page of your website.

All right, let's get to the business of this article.

Pros for Using BidVertiser
1. BidVertiser pays via Paypal. AdSense pays via check. Paypal deposit is quicker to get than a check.

2. The minimum payout from BidVertiser is $10. AdSense has a minimum payout of $100, which takes more time to reach. Many beginning advertisers give up on the early stages of using AdSense and never realize any of the profits for their labor.

3. You can choose to have links opened in a separate window. This allows users to stay on your website and hopefully click on other ads on the website.

4. You can manually approve ads. You don't have this control with AdSense.

5. When creating your ads, you can see a template for what the ad will look like before you put it on your site. For AdSense, you have to click on a separate link, for example, to see what a 234x60 ad looks like. This is excellent for beginners, but also for experienced users because the default selection on AdSense is 728x90 "Leaderboard", which many times is not what you want.

6. You can choose to display eBay auction ads (by default) or not. AdSense does not allow you this freedom.

7. Finally, a very good thing, you can see how much money the advertisers are bidding for the ads that will show on your website. You can't see that information from AdSense; you have to use some other system, like AdWords, to get an idea how profitable your ads can be for your niche.

Cons for Using BidVertiser
1. Some people experience slow page loads with BidVertiser compared to AdSense. This is a problem, because users don't like slow sites. They will go to the next one if yours is too slow.

Related information

  • However, BidVertiser ads are not as relevant as the ones from AdSense.

It's amazing how this type of article attracts self-promoters. There are three people promoting their own sites below. Anyway, you did a nice job. Some parts are perhaps a bit out of date, but your article still is helpful.

Hi, Very interesting post, but have a small flaws when saying: "BidVertiser ads are very similar to Google's AdSense. For that reason, you should not mix AdSense and BidVertiser ads on the same web page at the same time." Actually that is not true, and mixing both Bidvertiser & Adsense is allowed, but under certain conditions. To find out exact description of that with what google has to say about it check out: http://www.itcomparison.com/blg/advertising/can-i-place-google-ads-on-the-same-page-with-third-party-ads.html I hope that help some one, and sorry for interruption. I had to correct it though. Enjoy, Diggmee

Good comparisons. However you stated "1. BidVertiser pays via Paypal. AdSense pays via check. Paypal deposit is quicker to get than a check." Adsense allows for electronic funds transfer for most publishers, so it's just as quick as PayPal. PayPal funds can be tougher to get to and costs fees.

I have been with Adsense for 6 weeks; so far earned $0.79, I might try Bidvertiser for a while.

Hi, Interesting posts and I have much similar thoughts about Bidvertiser. I have used both of them. Bidvertiser have now a new pricing structure for referrals. I wrote post about it, http://tjantunen.com/2007/04/17/bidvertiser-have-a-new-pricing-structure-for-referrals/ I did also a little comparison between Bidvertiser and Google AdWords, you can read more about that in my blog.
