New PPC Options

I've noticed some new players in the internet advertising industry. They are FreeKii, SpeedyAds, and Text Ad Market. What I'm seeking is some feedback on these Ad sources. Also, does anybody have any feedback on AdsenseCamp? Please leave a comment with your honest opinion of these companies.

Account Suspended With Google Adsense?

Does Google Adsense actually suspend your account after they determine "invalid clicks", or other "suspicious" activity? Or do they just terminate your use of their services, and display ads from your "disabled" account for their own profit? I ask these questions because I received the following message today after searching for information about Adwords (Note: My Google Adsense account was disabled in April):

Welcome to the Google AdWords interface.
We noticed you're an AdSense publisher. Were you trying to log in to your AdSense account instead?
While you're here, why not learn how you can enhance your business with Google AdWords, the search advertising program that helps you:
· Expand your marketing presence. With AdWords, you can get the attention of people entering over two hundred million search queries per day.
· Get qualified leads. Your ads appear when people search for keywords you choose for your business. You're reaching an audience already interested in what you have to offer.
· Earn more. With AdSense, you make money when people click your site's Google ads. Imagine the additional revenue you can earn through AdWords.
· Keep your costs down. Relevant AdWords ads get better placement. If your ads are targeted, you can enjoy the most visible positions without necessarily paying more.
· Focus on your business outside of advertising. Create your ads. Set your budget. Activate your account. Then let AdWords bring new customers to you.

Just wondering.

Big Dreams, No Rewards

The Google Adsense Monster has struck again! Have you noticed many websites serving Google Adsense have had their publisher accounts disabled and suspended? I have, I was one of them. My account was disabled, appealed, and suspended within 5 minutes. I expected 24 hours to pass before getting the bad news, but I guess Google Adsense pre-determined my account's fate. I received no warning or anything. I hadn't accumulated much income, and my CTR was in the low percentile. Their reason for suspending my account was due to "Invalid Clicks". I kept track of all activity concerning my ads and was sure I was complying with their TOS. I forwarded all requested information on the appeal form immediately, expecting the appeal to be handled fairly. But, within 5 minutes I got the news; SUSPENSION OF ACCOUNT. They even thanked me for understanding their position.

I understand Google is in the business to make money for Google, so let me ask a question. When a publisher's account is suspended, their unpaid balance is supposedly returned to the advertisers. The question is, does Google return their portion?

Anyway, beware when dealing with Google Adsense because your account can be suspended for any reason they see fit. I guess there are 3 entities you do not want to fool with: The Tax Man, Your Homeowners Association (hopefully you don't have one), and Google Adsense.

Always have a plan B, C, and D when dealing with PPC advertising.

Payment Processors

Has anyone used any other payment processors besides Paypal? I have accounts with AlertPay and E-gold, but do not receive any payments through them. Paypal seems to be the processor of choice.

Is AsianPay or StormPay any good? Please let me know, because I feel I'm missing out on customers by not offering more payment options.

Also, has anyone signed up for Revolution Money Exchange? Do they really give you $25 at signup?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

PPC Advertising

Google Adsense is the most popular PPC advertising mechanism used online today. It is also the most misundertood. Many publishers consider Google Adsense to be a waste of time because of the strict guidelines in the terms of service (TOS). Please understand, the TOS is used to protect the interest of advertisers trying to make a living online just as we are. If used properly, Google adsense is the most profitable PPC advertising mechanism online, period!

There are other online PPC advertising sites that may be worth looking into. They are as follows:

Bidvertiser

Adbrite

Adster

Yahoo Publisher Network

Alternate URL

Fair Ads Network

Widgetbucks

Exowun

Clicksor

All Feeds

RevenuePilot

Chitika

FastClick

Veoda

TargetPoint

BidClix

BannerBoxes

...And many more.

All I can say is do your research, abide by the TOS, and work to become as profitable as you can.
