In-Text advertising seems to be the latest thing in blogging. I must admit that I, too, am a fan of it because it is an easy and fun way to make some extra money. After all there is only so much space to put banners and Adsense ads on a webpage. So I decided to write a review of some of the best places to use for this service. From the blogger's point of view of course:)Lets begin with Blogsvertise.They are one of the best for beginner's because they are not as picky as far as the requirements for your blog to be accepted. Though it must be a blog that has some kind of page rank for people to want to use it.
How it works is an advertiser asks for an ad to be placed. They may ask for you to write the review of the site or they may send you a pre-written Guest Blogger request which you can then accept or deny. Keep in mind that if you turn down too may offers, especially in the beginning, your offers may stop. If you accept the offer then you have a specific time period to complete the request by. The sooner you get it in the better. They will then review that post and either accept it or tell you what is wrong with it and give you a chance to fix it.
They also offer, after you have been with them awhile and have proven yourself, grab bag ads. Which means, next to the title of each blog you have submitted it a symbol of a bag which you click on. Inside there are many different types of ad requests that you can choose from. Anything from Guest Blogger requests to PayPerClick can be in there. If you like it you accept it...but its entirely up to you.
They pay once per month and have always been very accurate and timely in paying me.
I highly recommend them for some extra revenue...the only thing negative that I can say about them is that often times the ads they ask you to place do not really correspond to your content. But...that is really minor because a lot of times, niether does Adsense.
