Bidvertiser Versus Google Adsense

BidVertiser is a CPC (Cost Per Click) Ad Network. BidVertiser is a free, fast and easy website monetization method open to publishers from around the globe.

To join the BidVertiser publisher program, you need to have a website. Sign up with BidVertiser from here. You can then get Ad codes from BidVertiser which you can place at desired spots on your website.

BidVertiser manually reviews and approves each website you submit to them. This process usually gets completed within 48 hours. During the time when your website is not approved, your ad spots will display the default BidVertiser ads. BidVertiser serves text and image ads which are of various sizes, including banners, buttons, skyscrapers and inline ads. They also give you the option to design one by yourself. You can customize the ads to match the look and feel of your website which ensures higher conversions.

If you are a blogger, you would be happy to know that BidVertiser allows you to monetize your RSS/ATOM feeds as well. After a few steps of registration and feed verification, you will be able to show BidVertiser CPC ads in your feeds.

While most of you might think BidVertiser is not a good option when a better option like Adsense is around, BidVertiser has some advantages over Adsense. I will discuss about the pros and cons of BidVertiser in regards to Adsense in this post, let’s start with the pros:

1. BidVertiser works very well for publishers of flash websites. Unlike Google Adsense, BidVertiser does not serve contextual ads. You get to select the categories for your website when you submit a website for approval at BidVertiser. BidVertiser uses a 3rd generation bidding-based system where advertisers directly bid on the ad space of your website finding them out by browsing categories. This means no “bot work” to find the keywords to match the ads with, which means flash websites can join BidVertiser and the ads served on flash websites will match up better with the content of the website.
2. Adsense determines the price-per-click by the keywords, not by the quality of your website which implies your high-quality website will get the same price-per-click as other low-quality websites, just because you have similar contents. BidVertiser uses a 3rd generation bidding-based system which means the price-per-click you get is based on the quality and popularity of your website. The more popular and appealing your site is, the more people bid for the ad space on your website and the higher price-per-click you will get.
3. Adsense ads are served according to keywords - this gives you no control over the ads that will be displayed on your website. While in BidVertiser, you have full control over the ads displayed on your website. BidVertiser enables you to filter-out any unwanted ads. You can view all the ads running on your website, their CPC, title, description and URL. Adsense doesn’t show these. You can block and approve the ads any time. Prior to your own filtering, each ad needs to be pre-approved by the fellows at BidVertiser.
4. Referral Earnings: When a user uses your referral link and signs as a publisher and first earns $10, BidVertiser credits your account with $10. When that same publisher earns $50, you will be credited with an additional $40. Similarly, when a user signs as an advertiser and first spends $10, they’ll credit your account with $5. When that same advertiser spends $50, you will be credited with an additional $20. Adsense does not pay any referral earnings anymore.
5. BidVertiser instantly pays to your PayPal account when your account balance reaches $10, or via check when your account balance reaches $50. That means, if you live in a PayPal accepted country, BidVertiser lets you get payments fast. Adsense payment threshold is $100 which takes more time to reach.
6. BidVertiser does not ban you like the way Adsense does. They are more liberal.
7. No phone and pin verifications.

There are some disadvantages as well :

1. You cannot turn off the “Your Ad Here” ads shown in the place of regular BidVertiser ads. You’ll however get paid up to $25 for every advertiser who joins BidVertiser using those links.
2. Google offers more payment options like Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), Western Union Quick Cash or Rapida, BidVertiser does not.

BidVertiser has one of the best reporting systems, so you can easily track who clicked what and how much you made for that click. Like Google, BidVertiser also does not stand fraudulent activities. Remember to go through BidVertiser TOS very thoroughly before or after you join them.

What’s the minimum payout and how do they pay?

I have talked about this earlier but I have some more to add. The minimum account balance that you need to reach before you can cash out is only 10 dollars if you want to cash out through PayPal. For check, the option to cash out is when the account balance reaches 50 dollars. They send your check by registered mail. If your account balance is less than the payment threshold limit at the end of a month, they’ll roll your earnings over to the following month, until the payment threshold is reached. Payments are done on a monthly basis within 30 days after the end of each calendar month. I received my first payment from them sometime back. Here’s the BidVertiser payment proof.

Update: BidVertiser has officially announced on 18th Nov that they will be serving image ads as well in addition to the text-ads that they were serving earlier.
