People say, days of Pay Per Click (PPC) ads are gone but I personally feel that, even those who say that make the maximum out of PPC ads only. In other words, it is still the best method to make money online – predominantly using Adsense or other alternatives to Adsense. So, I sat down last night to find a quality Adsense Alternative and I ended up with this website called “Queryads”.
Queryads provides publishers PPC ad block similar to Adsense to make money online. From the reviews around the web, I found that their ads are relative to a website’s content unlike other alternatives. For example, if you run a website about food, the ads are predominantly oriented to food. Well, this is the most important criteria that a publisher should look out for.
Secondly, as a publisher, you should look out for the speed with which the ad blocks load and I feel it is certainly quick when compared to other alternatives. Moreover, it is compatible with Google Adsense. In fact, you can insert your Adsense ID to avoid repetition of advertisements – something that many alternatives do not care about.
You earn 70% of the revenue that you generate – the remaining 30% is absorbed by query ads as commission. The minimum payout to withdraw your earnings is $10.00 (seriously way too low) and you can maximize your earnings via affiliate sales by referring, both advertisers and publishers. You’ll earn 10% as a commission for every amount that the advertiser (the one you referred) spends on queryads or when a publisher generates income via queryads.
As an advertiser, I don’t have much expertise about the same. However, from the perspective of an observer on their site (watching the video and other stuffs), I feel you might get quality publishers to advertise your product. Moreover, you get 100 free visits initially – so, you may give them a try. You may refer to the FAQ page for further details - Queryads FAQ.
To wrap up, as a publisher, I feel this is a better alternative to Adsense - definitely not the best. Nevertheless, it's free! So, what you waiting for? Just sign up for free and try their service. Later, share your opinions via comments below.
