AdDynamo Stats

I see many South African web sites switched to Addynamo.

AdDynamo is a Pay per Click engine, similar to Google Adsense and Adwords. What I like about AdDynamo is that they have the advertising and publishing side on the same site, not like Google where it is two different sites with two different names.

I prefer to support local business where I can and I think Google is operating their business in a mafia way, so I decided to give it a try.

Unfortunately it did not work out very well for me.

It seems like there are not many advertisers using the service yet. The ads displayed on my sites were mostly two Casinos and one Insurance company. I think this could also be the reason why there were hardly any clicks as well.

So I removed the ads as I thought it was a waste of advertising space. For about 8,000 impressions it only earned me R36.44 compared to at least R250 I would earn on average for 8,000 displays on Google ads.  So you can see that it is a huge difference. If it was a small difference I might consider leaving the ads on but the difference is too big.

Question:

2. OfferForge and TrafficSynergy have not earned me anything yet. When I asked them about this it was suggested to me that I write articles to fit in with their adverts.

I must say I am intrigued by the idea and look at it as a challenge. The Google Adds are earning me some money. I am considering removing all the TrafficSynergy adverts from my website.
