Alexa selling advertising space?

Expand Post »
This is something new to me.

Oh goodness! I think I figured out what dataware is talking about (in this thread). If you browse around Alexa's site, you'll notice colored boxes that represent the old style of Google Adwords boxes, labeled "sponsored links". When you click on it, it takes you to this page: http://www.adbrite.com/mb/commerce/purchase_form.php

Very, very unprofessional if you ask me!

Re: Alexa selling advertising space?

Hello cscgal, I looked at the site and have a question for you. If you where to buy ad-space on other high traffic ranking sites through adbrite would that increase the traffic rating for your site? and do you think it is a good inexpensive marketing. Thanks small business

Re: Alexa selling advertising space?

It will get you traffic, but it won't raise your ranking in search engines because the links aren't static, and therefore spiders can't interpret them. What do you mean increase traffic rating? Are you talking about the dreaded Alexa. Take anything Alexa says with a grain of salt - their stats don't mean anything.

It's not at all unprofessional for Alexa to sell advertising space. I just think it isn't very professional for Alexa, a web service owned by Amazon.com, to use measely little AdBrite to sell ads. THAT is what is unprofessional. It's like seeing Google AdSense ads on MSN.

looks like Alexa is sold out at $1.83 per click... never underestimate Amazon's ability to maximize revenue.

i think it's less about "measly little adbrite" and more about earning almost $2 per click -- try matching that with adsense... heh

looks like MSN uses Kanoodle (smaller than adbrite) and Overture (bigger than adbrite)

do you find Microsoft to be unprofessional also? you're a regular bill gates

Not sure how many of you know this, but I feel it's my duty to point out pud's the "CEO" of AdBrite. I put this in quotes because it's just too much irony for me to write with a straight face. Sorry pud.

Re: Alexa selling advertising space?

Hi

I just want to ask why this is unprofessional. All large companies use other companies to deal with different aspects of their business. A good example is HP, they don’t make any part of their PCs, they just sub contract all there work to other companies and then sell the final product off for a nice profit.
I own a website similar to Adbrite and I think it is a very useful service, although I could just be bias. Anyway my point is that all companies use other companies all the time to get the job done more efficiently, as no one company can do everything. :eek:
