A New Way To Advertise/Monetize

My Dear Readers,
Many of you, I know, own websites.
And many of you have products you wish to advertise.

Well, I’d like to introduce you to a new service I’ve been working on for some time: BuySellAds - Online Advertising Platform.

I was originally asked by owner, Todd Garland, to rewrite BSA to use CodeIgniter, which is of course, my speciality; and now I am a partner in this venture.

In its first few months in private beta, BuySellAds now has a huge inventory of great sites!
BuySellAds is simple advertising service that’s different from the others. We stand out from the crowd for a few reasons:

For Publishers:

  • you want the benefits of selling ads through a marketplace but don’t want to pay high commissions (our rate is 25%)
  • automation - from accepting payments to putting ads live and then taking them down, the entire process is automated
  • we sell your ads as subscriptions and they renew at a higher rate month-to-month
  • you can cash out whenever you want, it’s your money
  • you want a happy experience, we’re friendly
  • more advertisers will discover you if you’re in our network
  • our system is easy to use (set it and forget it)

For Advertisers:

  • you want fixed prices month-to-month
  • potentially some SEO value - is at the publishers discretion
  • you don’t want long-term commitments
  • you want to manage your campaigns from one centralized location instead of dealing with individual publishers
  • our network of niche sites is where you will reach your target audience
  • our system is incredibly easy to use (set it and forget it)
  • we’re friendly and easy to deal with

The service is simple, competitive, and most of all, the support is great!

Here’s what some of the publishers think about BuySellAds:

I already have enough crap to deal with on a daily basis, this saves me a lot of time and is completely worth the reasonable 25% commission that BSA charges. 25% is about as low as you’ll find anywhere.

Overall I’m very pleased with the service and expect to stick with it

So if you’d like to advertise on some of the most popular and specialized niche websites. Or, you have a website that you’d like to monetize. Then register with BuySellAds.

I’m really excited about this service, and I hope it continues to grow. If you have any questions about BSA, just post in the comments.

  2. I have requested my account there 2 weeks ago but they seem to didn’t want me… they look very selective on witch website they are accepting.

    So it’s promising for the people who has websites that are already popular, if your website is good and “promising” you may have no chance with them (personal experience done with my CodeIgniter Directory, it’s new, I have already a lot of visits, but they don’t care if your PR or Alexa rank is low or if the website doesn’t look like the next web 2.0 buzz…)

  3. Hey Christophe…
    Because it’s in private beta, we’re very selective about which sites we let in. The system will be much more open once it’s fully launched.

    Nice work, really! Just a few details: the cart is at the left of the navbar under IE6 (and not at the right). Also, the top and bottom border don’t appear on the small “follow us on twitter” box. It takes one minute to fix!
