Auctionads Looks Promising

13. Mar 2007 | 15 Comments

AuctionadsAuction Ads was launched last week & promises to help bring a breath of fresh air for Adsense Users. Whilst I personally haven’t had too much time to test it as of yet I couldn’t help but take notice to this thread in digitalpoint.

The user who runs a site about trading cards, which incidentally is perfect for Auction Ads for a variety of reasons has currently been using YPN (Yahoo Publisher Network).

He’s averaging around 1000 clicks per day off 200,000 impressions & making roughly $800. So he decided to split test 50/50 YPN vs Auction Ads for a week to see how they would compare to each other.

YPN Split Test

As you can see from the picture above with roughly 500 clicks showing 50% of the time YPN is grossing $400 on the site.

Auctionads

Now have a look at the revenue from Auction Ads on the same day showing the other 50% of the time. $1,551.81. That’s an increase of $1,100. Quite impressive.

Obviously this will vary on a site to site basis depending on the theme & the type of products you are targeting. I can imagine tech & hobby related sites really making a killing with Auction Ads in comparison to Adsense.

I’ve changed a few sites over to Auction Ads just to test things out so if they prove more profitable than Adsense I’ll get rid of it completely (thank god ;) ) Oh & if you refer publishers you’ll earn 2% of what they earn for 6 months. So imagine if you referred the guy in the thread, you’d be earning a tidy $24/month & $48/month if he removed YPN.

I’m trying this with one of my blogs and the results are good, much better than adsense

Dennis 14. Mar 2007, 6:32 am

Now only if I had a content site that was getting that type of traffic… :P

Mark Barrera 14. Mar 2007, 8:05 am

I am trying it on a few sites as well. So far, so good.

I think the images help to encourage people to click. I also expect that Google will be following with a similar offering in the near future.

Roland 14. Mar 2007, 10:44 am

Mark, i expect if google launch somthing like that, to do has good has this one. If google do this to adsense, the problem is the same, the low price on clicks for the publishers.

Mattboy 14. Mar 2007, 11:33 am

well i’ve been assraped by adsense for too long, so i’ll see if this works out any better.

i’ll sign up under your aff link, so should be a few extra bucks coming your way

Maybe ad blindness plays a part. People are tired of adsense and clicked on the new ads.

I think the initial results are not a good measure.

Just got my email about this and signed up. I already have it rolled out to one site, and am planning on using it on some others. I’m really hoping that this will out-perform adsense, although that’s not all that hard at this point :) .

I’m trialling Auction Ads at the moment but I have the wrong site for it to work properly. I’m afraid adsense is going to rule my life for the foreseeable future. But it you had a product review site then Auctions might be pure gold. Although I have to say that if you have 200,000 impressions a day then you can do whatever you want and still make coin.

I’ve added Auction Ads to two of my sites and thinking of adding it to a third. I’m finding that I get 3 times more clicks than with Adsense. I’m waiting to see how the revenue plays out over the next couple of months.

The Dino 09. Apr 2007, 5:36 pm

Cool, always looking for alternative to adsense. I have just signed up and added to my list of affiliates.

Alex 28. Apr 2007, 7:48 am

I’ve been experimenting with AuctionAds for a week. I am getting 1000 clicks per day, however with $0 in revenue. I mean literally no revenue at all. Many could argue that AuctionAds only works for niche specific site. But come on… 1000 clicks per day already proves that the ads got people’s interests. And I find it hard to believe out of those clicks, not even one of them took some revenue generating action on eBay.

Could someone share their experience with AuctionAds please?

Johan 09. Jun 2007, 2:24 am

I’ve been testing auctionads on one site and made $3,17 so far this month. That’s from 17 clicks and about 700 impressions. I previously had 3 adsense ads and changed 2 blocks for auction ads. My adsense earnings didn’t drop and I’m making some extra cash off of auction ads. I do think they should provide detailed stats of what happens with those click, which clicks converted etc, as much detail as technically possibly I’d say, this to gain more trust in the entire system because I can relate to the guy who posted above, it’s easy to think the owner is keeping our money. Anyway, it looks promising.

Justin 08. Jul 2007, 3:26 pm

You’d think that were the case, but I get over 200,000 impressions on Adsense and my CTR is 0.07% so…. yeah…. And @ the 0.06 that Adsense pays me, it’s about $25/day. Sad.
