Auction ads review

Auction ads is a new service that allows internet publishers to display targeted ebay based ads on their websites. When someone clicks an ad and wins a bid on ebay the publisher gets a small commision. The publisher also gets a cimmision if the visitor uses the ‘buy it now’ feature or creates an ebay account.

I decided to run auction ads on my main website www.myspace-resource.info. each page has roughly 2-4 blocks of auction ads code. After a few days I noticed some clicks coming in yet no revenue. After a week I made my first commision. 25 cents. woo hoo! I decided to keep the ads running for an entire month so i would get a better perspective of the effectivness of the auction ads.

After one month here are my final auction Ads stats:
Total           1372029     3828     0.28     $81.87

I got 1.4 million impressions. Got 3828 clciks and made about $82. That averages out to a little more than 2.2 cents a click. OK but not stellar. Since I didn’t have adsense ads on Myspace-resource.info I was expecting more revenue for a month worth of clicks. With adsense I can make between $10-15 a day with my site. Auction ads earned me a a measly $2.8 a day. Not so great.

Does auction ads work? For some people , yes, but it doesn’t seem live a very good adsense alternative. The main problem with acution ads is that the person clicking the ads has ti auctually buy something. That is a MAJOR barrier. With adsense you get paid per click regardless if anything is purchased.
