| November 15, 2010 | 59 Comments More

Blogs have come a long way from the time when it was just a medium of posting our thoughts and opinion online to becoming one of the biggest money earning source online for thousands of people. Yes, Blogs are a great way of making money online and a number of professional bloggers and Internet Marketers earn millions of dollars with the help of blogs.

One of the main source of income through blogging is the placement of Banner advertisements in the blog. Banner Advertisement too has evolved a lot throughout the years and unlike before when bloggers had a hard time searching for advertisers and managing the advertisements, there are now a number of tools and sites that can help them manage and find advertisers easily.

Amongst all these tools and websites, one of the most popular Banner Advertising website is BuySellAds. I am sure almost each and very Blogger has heard of it.For those who do not know about it, I will just provide you a brief intro to it.

About BuySellAds

BuySellAdsBuySellAds is the most popular online banner buying and selling marketplace. BuySellAds has a lot of Advertisers and provides a good chance for bloggers for earning good amount of money by placing adverts in their blogs. BuySellAds Offers a lot of different features and toolsets to the publishers (bloggers) like excellent management dashboard,  ability to approve or disapprove advertisers, targeted niche advertisers and a lot more. They also have an excellent customer support who can be contacted through any social media sites.

Also Buy Sell Ads (BSA) ad codes do not at all affect the page speed of the site. They offer banner ads of custom sizes and take 25% of your ad sales earning in exchange of the features they offer. The advertisers can compare and evaluate sites on which they want to put advertisements on by considering and comparing different metrics like Alexa Rank, Compete traffic, PageRank, Delicious bookmarks, and Yahoo! Inbound Links. All in all, BuySellAds offers a comprehensive solution to all your advertisement buying and selling needs.


BuySellAds Alternatives

AdvertiseSpace

This is the second best option if you do not get approved by BuySellAds, it has a good amount of advertisers and a good amount of bloggers in its directory. Most of the features are quite similar to BuySellAds. You sign up with them, get yourself approved, set up your ad zones and add their script to your site. They keep  around 30% of the revenue and provide a minimum of 70% (Up to 80%!) to the publishers. One notable feature that it offers is their built in affiliate system. So even if you aren’t able to  sell any ads on your site, if anyone that clicks through your ‘advertise here’ banner and signs up, you will get a referral payment of 5% – 10%, and it is monthly recurring.

OIOPublisher

OIOPublisher

OIOPublisher is another great BuySellAds Alternative for you if you have  not been approved for BuySellAds. OIOPublisher follows a different bit of mechanism. They have a plugin which can be installed as a WordPress plugin or used as a standalone platform which will allow you to get complete control over the advertisement sales in your website. The plugin offers a lot of features like custom types of ads, automatic advert handling, impressions and click tracking etc. The cost of the plugin is only 47USD. After you buy the plugin, you will be added to their exclusive Marketplace from where you can get more advertisers.

You get to keep all the 100% of revenue that you have earned through the Ad Sales so I think it is a pretty good investment considering that in other Advertising Marketplaces like BuySellAds and AdvertiseSpace, they deduct 25% to 30% charges for each sale. Using this plugin you will be able to cut the commission charges and keep all the sales earning for yourself only at the one time expense of 47$

If you want to buy OIOPublisher, you can use the following coupon code to get 10$ discount:

Performancing Ads

Performancing Ads

Another worthy enough Banner Marketplace is PerformancingAds. It has been created by the owners of Performancing a Technorati Top 100 Blog.

Performancing Ads permits you to sell 125 x 125 banners as well as participate with other bloggers to exchange ads using the credit system. Performancing takes a 40% share of any ads that are sold and passes the remainder 60% to the publisher.

BlogAds

Blogads

They have been around from a long time back, probably been there even before BuySellAds was created. Just like BuySellAds, they allow you to sort out and compare different blogs according to traffic and prices. They represent a number of premiere blogs like PerezHilton, DailyKos, ICanHasCheezburger, Dlisted, Regretsy, Lamebook and Wonkette. You have the options to choose from 3 types of account: Basic, Intermediate and Advanced according to the amount of traffic you get. BlogAds keeps 30% of any generated advertising revenue.

Adsella

Adsella is a recent entrant to the Banner ads Marketplace section. In a small amount of time they have been able to gather a lot of publishers and advertisers in their site serving upto 1,600,000+ impressions till now. Though there is still a dearth of big list blogs in their showcase. AdSella charge a commission of 20% off the total rate and I think  it is one of the lowest when compared to its competitors.

AdvertiserBay.co.uk

AdvertiserBay

AdvertiserBay.co.uk is somewhat different from all these Banner ad marketplaces in the sense that it allows you to buy and sell other types of advertising too. Besides Banner Advertising they offer Text Advertsing, Email Advertising, Classifieds advertising, Prints Ads, Events Ads, TV/Radio Ads etc too. That is they offer buying and selling Ads on both online and offline media. They vouch to be the all in one stop for all your advertising needs. They keep a modest 25% as sales commission for all ads sold in their marketplace.

AdEngage

AdEngage offer Weekly Ads that are purchased on a Cost per Time basis (The BuySellAds model) and Targeted Cost per Click ads that run through a targeted portion of their network (The Adsense Model).  AdEngage offer 75% revenue to the Publishers and keep 25% themselves. They also offer good support, and a myriad of data organized into helpful charts and graphs for website owners to track. This ad network is a part of the Technorati Media Group so is certainly reliable and does have a good amount of advertisers and publisher too.

Well that wrap ups the list for now. If any of you know or come across any other banner advertising marketplace then do mention them in your comment.

    This places are very good for both buying and selling links. Actually Google guidelines suggest not to buy links, but at the end of the day, those links helps a lot for ranking improvement.

      Well bro most of these are banner Image advert network so no question of link selling in them. They are similar to Adsense but the only difference is that in these type of ads a fixed ad is showed instead of different ads at different time

  2. Henway says:

    I’ve been using BlogAds for the past couple of years and would highly recommend using them. Especially if u got any sort of politics blog.

    That said, I find the best way to get sites to advertise on your blog is just by directly asking companies that are related to your niche. You’ll get more money that way!

    Wow! There are so many ads network out there bro, thanks for the information. One question, what is the best network? ;)

    Another alternative not listed above is Linknami.com where advertisers can advertise on single pages that were freshly published for highly targeted traffic.

  5. David White says:

    Thanks for mentioning Advertiserbay, always good to see a list of similar businesses. I knew of most of them already but some are new to me :)

    As you mention, we are a little different as we don’t really do our volume business via the banner ads as most clients are getting a much better return on digital magazine, outdoor or cheap print advertising spaces.

  6. Stephen Dave says:

    I tried adsella. I really liked them. It really helped that their commisions are low. They are worth a shot.

  7. Asha says:

    All other BSA alternatives except AvertiseSpace are new to me. We had not had great experience with BSA. Thanks for listing out so many other options.

  8. Another alternative to buysellads is Adclays. It is a new network and still in beta so they are offering new publishers life time reduced fees. Generally they have a fee of 15% which is much lower than other alternatives.

    Adclays also allows you to run backfill ads when your ad space has not been sold. this is a win-win for publishers

    Disclaimer: I work for Adclays

  9. Josh Ray says:

    Is Blogads still accepting new publishers? I tried to get signed up with them and was told they weren’t accepting new people. Maybe that was their polite way of telling me my blog wasn’t big enough yet.

  18. Sanjay says:

    Hi Shiva, i have a blog about entertainment (Bollywood and hollywood) but the revenue generated through adsense is disgusting, yesterday i got $0.11 for ten clicks, the traffic is around 1000 pageviews/day, buy sell ads doesn’t approve entertainment blogs.

    Please suggest me some good alternatives to buy sell ads, leave me a mail.

    Thank u

  19. Thank you, for these great alternatives. I have tried Clickbank instead of Adsense, but the results are not that big. I certainly will try these income resources.

    Nice post, thank you.
    I’m looking for an alternative to adwords to create an ad campaign for my new little online store, pets handmade products.
    I would like to know if anybody have an idea of the conversion rate of banner adverstising.
    i was wondering… if, for example, perezhilton.com blog give 40 million views to my banner (obviously traffic not related to mi niche) what, in your opinion could be the CTR and conversion rate?
    Do you think this kind of advertising is good to promote ecommerce? It’s cheap, and I know you only get what you pay for, but I’d like to give it a try.

  23. upscguide says:

    i agree with Samuel Kessignton that adclays is one of the best BSA alternative. One who are not approved by BSA should definatly give a chance to adclays. what i like most about them is that they offer all types of banner size and also offer CPM based advertising which many of above mentions advertisers do not provide. I had experiance with advertising space before and waiting for BSA approval.

  24. I started my blogs days ago so I know i can’t get accepted to BSA or other networks…. my friend recommended a free platform/widget called Komoona, does anyone have any experience using them?

    Thanks,
    Pete.

  33. Hi folks,

    You must check out AdVeler.com we are new but we have come up with a solid idea of assigning every publisher with his own team and they will take care of all your advertising needs. and also they wont be paid till they bring advertisers to you’re door….and for all this you don’t have to pay quarter of you’re income we just charge 15% !!!

  34. Pure Tablet says:

    One thing that’s important to remember when selling ads is to stick with one service to manage your inventory. Trying to juggle multiple marketplaces can create a lack of interest from advertisers.
