Bidvertiser Ads Review!

Bidvertiser Review
Bidvertiser is a pay per click company and was launched in 2003 by Bpath; Ltd. Bidvertiser's business model is to auction your ad space to advertisers  and sell it to the highest bidder strictly based on PPC. They even pay you $20 for just registering as a publisher or as an advertiser.

Joining with Bidvertiser

Joining Bidvertiser as a publisher or advertiser is not difficult. Bidvertiser does not require your  site to have certain minimum impressions per month or year, and their Ads are based on CPC. You don’t need to send the signed  W9 or W8BEN tax forms as part of registration.You will get an instant approval in most cases.

However, there is a manual review of websites for the joining process to be completed and this is in order to reject websites, which do not comply with the Bidvertiser requirements. If you want to be a publisher with Bidvertiser, you may join with the link on the top right. If you want to advertise your website with Bidvertiser, you may use the bottom right banner.

Bidvertiser Conversion bonus

Apart from the CPC value for each valid click, Bidvertiser has a conversion bonus if any of your clicks turn to valid leads. Leads occur when somebody fills up a contact form with their valid phone number and address. Like a form filled up for insurance or advanced pay loan.
 

 
Bidvertiser Revenue Generating Tool Bar

Second great feature  offered by Bidvertiser is the customized toolbar. This revenue generating BidVertiser toolbar allows you to distribute your own customized toolbar to your website visitors and then earn money when your users use the toolbar for searching. The toolbar is fully customizable allowing you to add your logo, links to your home page  other tools and different widgets.

The most-recent addition which was introduced at the end of 2011 is the slider ad. Slider Ads are ads that slide up from the bottom of the screen and are displayed up on top of the page. This ad format is very popular, and it generates extremely high revenues. Slider Ads by default appear only once per 24 hours per user, are completely non-intrusive and have a small close button above them.

Bidvertiser Control Panel

Bidvertiser has a wide range of formats, which includes 728x90 Leaderboard, 468x60 Banner, 234x60 Half Banner, 120x240 Vertical Banner, 160x600 Skyscraper, 120x600 Skyscraper, 300x600 Half page, 300x250 Rectangle, 336x280 Large rectangle, 180x150 Rectangle, 240x400 Vertical rectangle and 125x125 Button.

What is different about Bidvertiser format is what is called by Bidvertiser as free design. This allows you to specify the length and width of the ad. You can specify your own dimensions with a set minimum of 120x60.

Publishers who need to modify the color or size of a bidvertsier ad do not need to update their site with the new modified code. Just edit the ad code in the Bidvertiser control panel and  Bidvertiser control panel automatically takes care of the rest. This feature was only recently introduced in adsense.

You have the option of specifying geographical areas where you want the ads to be shown up.

Referral Program


Bidvertiser also has a referral program. Bidvertiser pays you as follows for your referrals. Through your referral link when an advertiser sign up and first spends $10, your account will be credited $5. When that same advertiser spends $50, an additional $20 will be credited.

Through yor referral link when a publisher sign up and first earns $10, your account will be credited $10. When that same publisher earns $50, an additional $40 will be credited.


Other Features

Bidvertiser sells your ad space to the highest bidders among advertisers. We were surprised to find many advertisers with max eCPM bids of 1$  for one of our websites in niche area of music, whereas we were not able to sell the same ad space for 0.25$ through Adbrite, which has a very large advertiser base. Their ads nowadays are more context sensitive than it was before.


Conclusion

Bidvertiser stands out among ad networks in different areas like ad customization, and the high bids that they attain with their advertisers for selling ad space. However, their most remarkable feature is their payment option. Both the frequency of payments and the low payout at 10$.

Bidvertiser has to rectify many complaints about ad impressions and/or clicks not being counted after some days of  going smooth. Still it is a nice company and among the top choices as an adsense alternative. Click  Bidvertiser  to open a no obligation pubslisher account.

 Positives

    #Sign up process is painless and Bidvertiser review your site with instant account approval
    #Easy installation that requires an HTML code to be added to your webpages
    #Ads will instantly apear once code is added to your site, once this happens advertisers will be   able to start bidding to advertise with you
    #It is easy to change the appearance of the ads with a point and click tool
    #The toolbar can be altered in appearance to work with the look of your site

Negatives


    #Not very high pay out rates per click (this might only be the case with our chosen niches)
    #Ads aren’t always relevant to the content if you are targeting a small niche
    #Reporting within the Bidvertiser site is quite basic and doesn’t give a lot of information on number of impressions or on click through rates

Bidvertiser Vs Adsense

Bidvertiser can be used in conjunction with Adsense, some of the Bidvertiser ads do look similar to Adsense but you can customise these ads to amend that. Bidvertiser offer you the opportunity to bring in a decent income with the toolbar but generally have a lower pay out rate than Adsense for PPC. Although this is meant to increase with time the longer you stay with them – we haven’t noticed this yet.

Bidvertiser Payout Amount

Bidvertiser pays you on a net-15 basis or every 15 days. They have  one of the lowest  payouts in the industry at $10 which is through paypal. If you want to get paid by check, the minimum payout is $100.

Earnings are tracked in a very clunky reporting system that ideally needs to provide more information.

Signing up for Bidvertiser


Signing up is easy. The sign up form is straight forward and your account is approved immediately. You will receive an activation email and instructions on where to find the HTML code so you can start showing ads on your site immediately. Bidvertiser also has a blog that regularly updates you with new features.

Bidvertiser Support


Support is one of the prime factors when any company is reviewed. Whenever Bidvertiser was contacted through the e-mail, their response was quick. However, they mostly mailed a one liner which did not resolve the problem. Their support is definitely not as good as Adbrite or Chitika.
