With Adbrite, your ad would be published within 24 hours of setting up your account and you can start to earn once your zone was approved. They are quite prompt and accurate in their summary reports, and it is delivered at an efficient pace. They are nonetheless quite strict with sites where webowners are so motivated by monetary incentives that they have no qualms about showing multiple ads from various ad agencies. Adbrite displays a variety of ads for different visitors and those are pretty high-quality ads.
Many people have the impression that Adbrite serves adult ads to publishers, but this is not the case at all. They have an adult branch known as Blacklabelads. You may wish to check it out if you are dealing with adult-related material on your website. It's to do with behavior-targeting ads.
Advertisers, on the other hand, get to choose and control the ads that appear on the sites they desire so as to make sure they hit the targeted audience.

Bidvertiser - A Good Alternative to Adsense?
Bidvertiser claims to be one of the best PPC advertising networks out there that provides quick, timely, detailed and accurate reports about your earnings and statistics to your website. Despite complaints about Bidvertiser offering lower rates than its hugely popular rival Adsense, it offers at least a higher level of transparency (and security) than the latter. Honesty and integrity is what I look for in my hunt for reliable PPC advertisers. Therefore, I suggest you give Bidvertiser a try. It is hard to be convinced by Bidvertiser, especially with rampant rumours online about the firm cloaking links to deceive advertisers. Therefore, the best thing would be to find out for yourself whether there are any truths to such complaints. In fact, with Bidvertiser, advertisers have the luxury to pick the best sites for the display of their ads and it's certainly value-for-money while publishers stand to gain too. It's definitely a win-win situation. I am really impressed by their excellent ad targeting. Furthermore, ads would appear immediately on your website within seconds of setting up your ad zones so that you can start earning money as soon as possible. Depending on your performance and web content, sometimes bids can go up to as high as $4 or more per click. Also, what I like about Bidvertiser is that they pay through paypal, which is easy and convenient. Moreover, you can get paid sooner. You will receive payment as soon as your account hit a max of $10.
However, if you are looking to earn some quick bucks, I will advise you not to consider Bidvertiser as you are likely to witness a slow increment in the amount of money in your account. Also, do not be too quick to jump on the bandwagon as you are likely to suffer some setbacks if you get too impatient with it. I have heard that many of my friends got their accounts banned or terminated by Bidvertiser just when they are about to receive their first payout. Hence, I will urge you to be careful to consider the dangers involved in PPC advertising and to weigh the pros and cons before joining Bidvertiser.

Make Money from Adult Affiliate Programs
Forget about using Google Adsense if you have adult-oriented content on your site.
If you are an adult webmaster, here are some tips of how you can monetise your website with relevant ads:
1. Sign up with Adult Friendfinder as an affiliate. You will be paid a minimum of $1 each time someone signs up as a member. Depending on the scheme you are on, you may get up to 50 % (or more) of the earnings if you are able to direct a massive traffic of unique visitors to your website. One common payment method for adult affiliate programs is through Epassporte. Alternatively, you can choose to pay by check or some other means. You are able to promote all of their plans once you become part of their network of affiliate members. One tip for maximising your revenue as an affiliate is to put banners and posters all over your website, but try not to make it too obtrusive as it may kill the joy of visitors to your site, and achieve the opposite effect of making it an unpleasant experience for them. I have been to some adult sites with really in-your-face AFF ads that jumps up at you whenever you hover your mouse over them. All in all, AFF is a good try if you are looking to make some money from your website as they have rather good conversion rates. If you are a website with mature content that does not contain nudity, you might want to check out Passion.com instead. It's more subtle and toned-down version of AFF, and is part of the Friendfinder family. Webcams.com offers the same way of monetising your site, that is, it depends on the amount of click-throughs generated.
2. If you have no knowledge whatever of creating a website and is looking forward to having your own free dating website, you may want to consider diydating. It is a UK-based website that gives its members a chance to build their own website in exchange for 50% of the revenue earned if you manage to refer someone to the website who would later go on to upgrade their accounts to paid status. Of course, you would then have to decide if it is worth it, whether what you are receiving is less than or just what you deserve. Afterall, you are the one in charge of setting up the website, you are the one who puts in all the hard work furnishing up everything so as to attract visitors to your site even though tools such as html editors are provided free-of-charge by the company. They do not offer payment through payment firms like paypal. Instead, their payment method involves depositing straight into your bank account, so British citizens are at an advantage over those from countries outside from the UK. The tempting promise of having a steady stream of income delivered to you without the need to work might be hard to resist, but do conduct your own cost-benefit analysis before plunging right into it. And you would have to be equipped with at least some marketing know-how before you decide to go ahead with affiliate marketing.
You may be eager to make the most out of your adult site, but please be careful to do your homework before you get tricked into signing up for any of those thousands of affiliate marketing scams and frauds frolicking on the World Wide Web.
Hope this helps. Best of luck to whoever is reading this!

Free Web Host Reviews
The inefficiency and unreliability of many free web hosts lies with their "here today, gone tommorrow" type of reputation. But there is still a proliferation of websites that offer such services in exchange for a simple favor of placing their banner ads on the website you are using.
Fishing for the best deals while looking for a free web host? Let me provide you with my own list of well-established hosts that offer web hosting services at no costs.
Bravenet
Description: Bravenet's excellent for beginners who know next to nothing about web design. They have all the webtools to get you started, and have just about everything you need for a website, from calendars and forums to classifieds and chat rooms. All you need is to copy and paste. You can even track and monitor the traffic to your site. In addition, they have extras like daily horoscopes, web cartoons, speaking characters and even password-protected pages. You can choose to use their freely available and ready-made templates or add your own customized layouts. Either way, you won’t stand to lose. For folks who simply do not wish to fork out a single cent for web hosting and yet are eager to own their own websites, they offer one of the best solutions ever. But if you wish to have better services you would need to pay for it. All in all, it’s easy to use and I would recommend you check it out and sign up for their services. I myself am pretty impressed and satisfied with their services.
Cost: From free to at most $12 per month
Rating: 4½ out of 5
Vlexo
Description: It’s one of the best free web hosts around. They have all the tools and software that support scripting or programming languages from php to ruby on rails and you need not worry even if you do not have any relevant expertise in web development. They have clear, step-by-step instructions in the form of video tutorials to guide you through the process of how to effectively make use of the services they offer. In addition, you can take full advantage of their in-built rvsite builder and get an efficient website up and running in no time. Also, the friendly administrators are always there to assist you in case you run into any problems. You can contact them through an email or simply post a thread on their community forums. They also offer sub-domains and add-ons. And one thing is for sure, they boast 100% uptime.
Each client is entitled to up to 3 web-based emails for those using the titanium package. All you need is to place an ad banner at the top of your home page to support their services. There are no file size limits, but from what I know, you are allowed a bandwidth limit of up to 15,000 MB per month. In fact, you can do whatever you want with your site, provided you do not post racially insensitive and adult-related content. You will at least be reminded when your account is about to be suspended or terminated. And you will definitely be informed of the reason so there is a fair amount of transparency there. I am fortunate enough to be a part of their community and I can testify to their fast and reliable services. Learn more about their various hosting plans, as well as the terms and conditions on their website
How you can apply: You just need to request for free hosting from their website. Your account would be created only upon approval by the company.
Cost: Free

50webs
Description: Its free service is for people who have not been hosted before and have no experience in setting up a website. No specific scripting is enabled. However, users have to at least know something about html coding. Also, the home page can be slow to load at times, as opposed to those enjoying paid plans, and it can get really frustrating sometimes. And you are forever encouraged to go pro". Those on free web hosting plans do not have access to a proper MySQL database. In short, it does not offer the service of free data and information storage. However, it is not strictly limited to English-language sites. You can set up websites in any languages, but what you can actually do with your website is in fact very limited. For its paid hosting plans, you can choose to pay through paypal, which I feel, is quite a convenient payment method.
How you can apply: Through signing up from their home page
Cost: Ranging from free to a few dollars per month
Rating: 2 ½ out of 5
Morph
Description: This is another website that provides free web hosting in ruby on rails and javascript. It has been used by programming professionals and beginners alike. But I guess you'd need to possess a certain level of admin knowledge in order to fully make use of their site (I was quite confused when I first started out; I was dabbling in Rails programming stuff when I discovered this website). They do provide web videos that show you how to navigate through their website and find your way around the seemingly complicated layout, helping you through the process of deployment and so on. One clear advantage they have over other free web hosts is they offer a space storage of 1GB at the very least for customers who are using free plans. Sub-domains are also freely available. Alternatively, you can use your own domain name.
How you can apply: Through their website, where there is a table informing you about the pricing offers.
Cost: Ranging from completely free to a few thousands a year

000webhost
000webhost is great for novice web developers with absolutely zero knowledge of html codes, php, javascript and other programming jargon. They have two amazing and easy-to-use website builders that could help you set up professional-looking and dynamic sites within a few hours. If you have the content ready, you can just copy and paste them onto the ready-made templates. It’s even better than blogging. You have a webmail through which your visitors can contact you, and if you need to receive, process and analyse data, they have a MySQL in place through which you can easily store and manage information. You also get 1500 MB of disk space and 100 GB bandwidth. They have a personalised touch to their services, which is what I like about them. As soon as you sign up for their services, you will receive an email from the friendly administrators asking if you need any help, guidance and support. If you run into any problems, you just need to submit a ticket, and they will respond to you in less than 5 hours, which is pretty fast and efficient for a free web hosting provider. Alternatively, you could inform them about the difficulties you’ve had with your website by posting a thread on their forum. They are even more reliable and trustworthy than any of those paid web hosts that I have tried in the past. If you have a busy schedule and hardly have time to maintain your website, 000webhost is perfect for you as it saves you the cost, time and effort needed to design your web pages. You can simply select from any of their freely available templates. They offer a wide and eclectic array of templates for all kinds of purposes, from hobbies to businesses. You can also choose to modify and edit the layout, design and structure of the template to suit your liking. In short, they provide free web space with all the web hosting tools you could possibly ever need.
Another advantage is that 000webhost doesn’t require you to put up an ad banner on your website to promote their services for them, unlike most other web hosts. They don’t force users to market their services for them. Their service is also special in that there is no limit as to how many web domains you can have. If you are looking for a fuss-free and painless experience, join now.

Get paid to write
If you are looking to earn extra income, you may consider penning free-to-republish articles for Triond, Helium, and AssociatedContent. For AssociatedContent, you can be paid a minimum of $1.50 per thousand views, and if you are fortunate enough, you may be able to receive an upfront payment of no more than $10 for your article. But sometimes, you get nothing at all, depending on your content. For aspiring freelance writers who are eager to promote their personal blogs and websites, you can try writing for ezinearticles instead. It’s an excellent website, as it contains the possibility of luring millions of readers to your site, without you having to fork out a single cent for promotion through the placement of advertisements, and it certainly allows you to market your talents to the world. However, those with out-of-date information are likely to be tossed out after a period of 6 months. But you’d be lucky if the content you wrote is picked up and republished on other sites, with links to your website, which, in some instances, may be put on display for an indefinite period of time. Ezinearticles require its writers to submit unique and original articles in exchange for greater exposure to their websites. But you have to be prepared to write for free. In the end, it’s all worthwhile for those who have seen a spike in the number of visitors to their websites ever since they start contributing to Ezinearticles. It is slightly different on AssociatedContent, where you can only republish the headlines and a summary of the article. After which, you need to link the article back to the original one on its main website. The motive of it all is to drive greater traffic to AssociatedContent itself. Nevertheless, it is always wise to contribute. You can place a link to your personal blog or website at the end of your article if you aim to increase visitors to your site.
