For a small blog/website, in my opinion, AdSense is better, I suppose because you do not have to “care” too much about your sponsors.

Hi,

I have a design related website with 70-80k page views per month. I have 6 ads via buysellads and 5 of them are currently filled. At the start it was a bit slow (took about one month before I sold first ad) but atm most of the advertisers have renewed and so most of the ads are filled all the time. It is not big money, but for 80k pageviews that is understandable. I also like how you have full control over the prices, which add you approve, etc.

Sorry I misread as well, but my friend has a site with bsa, and its quite nice. He gets people to buy alot especially if you have good stats. He also has gotten loads of renewals, so it is some nice extra cash to possibly pay for hosting or even more? Its always worth a try, and if it doesnt work out, im sure you can just stop?

I’m getting about 3000 visits a month at the moment and no where near 80k on page views (I don’t have many pages to view!). I might stick with Adsense for now, until I grow the traffic further, then it might become worth while.

Thanks for sharing the knowledge guys, helped a lot.

I don’t even think BSA would allow to sell ads with that few views? Your site needs to go through an approval process. Besides, with that few views, you could only sell banners for like 3 dollars anyway.

@Zeplix: official requirement is 50k pv a month, but it is a soft rule, I have seen a few sites with around 30k pv.

My site was approved by bsa when I was only starting, with around 5K visits per month. It is an idea, not actually a rule, if they see potential in your site they will approve it.

Like someone mentioned earlier, the advantage with BuySellAds is that you can view related sites that use it and you can see exactly (by clicking on their empty ads) how many pageviews they’re getting a month and what prices they’re charging and obviously how many ads are filled. I find that to be invaluable information that you won’t get with sites that used Carbon, etc.

I’ve used them a few times before but never generated any work through them, I’m thinking about trying again but using the ads from better sites that are more popular but that means dearer ads.
