AdBrite experiment

I’m currently experimenting with AdBrite to deliver advertising on this site.

I’m not so precious to believe a blogger shouldn’t be able to reap some revenue from the content they have published, in my case over a period of nearly six years.

In addition to text and banner ads, AdBrite offers advanced options like a full-page ad and inline text ads.

I’m a little uncomfortable about these, but will let them run for a few days to see what the revenue is like. I feel that inline links ads might confuse people (although it’s a different link style) and the full-page ad might be annoying.

If anyone would like to comment from a user perspective, please do so.

AdBrite has a lot of user-controlled options and enables the publisher to set a price for ads as well. It works with other advertising publishers and, in this case, Google Adsense will override other advertising if the target price isn’t reached.

AdBrite sends a cheque when the publisher’s specified revenue goal has been reached. I prefer Google’s electronic transfer, but they only pay when $100 has been earned.

I have also reactivated the Alpine News website, basically as a commercial vehicle to either sell the domain or obtain advertising revenue.
