I mentioned in an earlier post about how to make money with Bidvertiser, entitled (stangely enough) Make Money with Bidvertiser, that you are able to work out how much each clickable ad pays. If your make money radar suddenly perked up at that point, I then disappointed you by saying that I’d let you into that little gem of wisdom in a later post.

This is that later post!

As I said before, Bidvertiser is a lot of hard work to get set up for multiple websites or blogs because you not only have to create a separate “bidvertiser” as they like to call each site profile, for every site, but you then have to create a sub-profile for every different variation of ad size ad shape you intend to place on that site. Fiddly and cumbersome, but once set up, you can leave that side of things alone and get on to the laborious task of accepting and declining all the ads for each profile, or “bidvertiser”.

Yep, you have a choice to either manually approve or decline ads or let the system decide for you. Unfortunately, when you let the system decide what ads will show on your site, you’ll get the lot - including totally irrelevant ads for your niche. For example, if yours is a dog training site, you don’t want to see ads for online casinos or choosing a Russian wife!

So it’s best to elect to manually approve the ads.

This is really tedious work, as you really do have to click the approve or decline button for every single ad in the list. Thankfully there are not too many of them - I went through around two hundred and seventy for one make money blog (this one), but that is multiplied by the number of different websites and blogs you want to add to the system.

Yes, you have to go through all that for every single site!

Thats what puts a lot of people off Bidvertiser. Which means better pickings for me!

By manually selecting each ad that you want to be displayed on your site, there is a very useful piece of information that is included with the short description of each ad. The maximum bid price.

This is how you can make a lot of money with this system. By electing to only show those ads at the top of the list - the ones with the highest maximum bid price, you’ll earn much more per click.

Another random factor is that the maximum bid price is not necessarily the amount you will receive per click, but just the maximum it will pay under certain circumstances. Nominally, each click starts at 1c. But when several ads are shown, the click price rises to 1c above the next highest click value. That means when a high value ad is shown, only those with a maximum bid price above that value will also be shown and if clicked, will cost 1c more than the next highest value ad.

So far, the highest value click I’ve attracted has been 50c, but I’ve had several in the 40c range too.

So by carefully selecting the ads you allow to be shown, you can be pretty sure of attracting some high value clicks, meaning you don’t need so many clicks to make decent money.

Bidvertiser also pays via PayPal and their payout limit is just $10, so you could see a regular income from even low click-through rates, unlike adsense where you have to make $100 before they’ll release a cheque.

Still think it’s a waste of time?
