Text Served Ads
August 14, 2004

Hi,
With all the hoopla from Text-Ads that you can put on your site. I have decided to give you my own opinion.
There is
www.adsense.com
www.AffiliatePowerAds.com
www.CBClicks.com
www.ClickBliss.com
All 4 are FREE to join and use. I use all 4 of them. I have different uses for each one. For my sites that are not marketing related I like Google Adsense. For my other sites, I rotate them.
If you are not sure which one to use, here is my suggestion.
If you want the simplest one. I suggest ClickBliss.com. It is easy to signup and you do not have to Join one thousand programs. Plus you do not have to promote it to make it work for you. You just put the code on your site and get paid for every click. This is great for newbies and people without huge lists. Plus I like the fact that every click is goes to a page where you get paid.
If you have a medium to large opt-in list, then AffiliatePowerAds.com is for you. It is not as easy as ClickBliss.com because you have to signup for over 20 2 tier affiliate programs. But once you do that, it is worth it. The good thing is that your referrals will also promote it to their list and friends. Now you can get paid on clicks on other peoples websites when they buy from the ads. Plus, Russell Brunson has some of the best 2 tier affiliate programs to go with the site. This one is good if you want a great broad range of products that pay you on 2 tiers.
The last one to hit the scene is Armand Morin's new Free service called CBClicks.com I do not love this one that much. It is really only good if you have a large opt-in list. Some of the problems here is that it must use the honor system. You do not get impressions credits for your downline. And you do not have all of your affiliate links on your site. So you are not getting paid for 80% of the ads you display. You are only helping other people. So many people will not even put the codes on their site. It does not benefit you in anyway to put the code on your site. Only that you may get a signup for the site thru the ads itself. But if you join, you can still put ClickBliss.com on your site. Again, it does not earn you credits by placing the ads on your site. I think Armand should have had every other ad display include ALL of your clickbank ID's in the links. At least you would make SOME money of your own site traffic. CBClicks.com is only good if you have a huge list and hope that all people use the honor system. (Place the code on their site.) If that is the case, you will get some good add impressions if you get to the 6th level. But by that time, the 6th level people are the last ones to get in. They are usually the people with the least amount of site traffic. So your impressions will be low. Also, just a not, Armand's examples are for people getting 1000 hits to their sites per day. Please!!, most of his members will average 10-50 hits per day so his numbers are a little misleading.
I hope the info here will help you decide. If you want to keep it simple, ClickBliss.com is for you. Have time to invest and want to make some great 2 tier income, go with AffiliatePowerAds.com. And those of you with HUGE lists, CBClicks.com maybe best for you.
Hey, they are all FREE!! So why not check them all out.
Thanks,
Mike
