This thread (posts dated Oct 2, 2008 through Nov 3, 2012) captures opinions from that period: several members favored AdSense, and a few reported account bans or disliked in-content/mouseover ads. That history is useful, but the core decision factors remain the same. Choose an ad solution based on measurable site variables (traffic volume and quality, audience geography, page intent and session length), not on brand alone.

Advertiser demand drives what publishers earn. As hinted, when more advertisers compete for a given audience the effective CPM goes up; when demand is low you see lower RPMs. To improve yield focus on audience quality and placement tests: create separate ad units for key page types, run short A/B tests to compare revenue-per-thousand (RPM) and engagement, and prioritize unobtrusive placements that match user intent (mobile-first formatting, native placements, and standard high-performing sizes). Do not rely on a single network; measure each network by site RPM, not just total clicks.

Several posters (, , ) describe bans. Practical, low-effort precautions reduce that risk: remove any language that encourages clicks, filter obvious bot/referrer spam in analytics, use separate test pages for new ad formats, and monitor sudden CTR or traffic-source spikes. If an account is suspended, gather analytics and server logs, remove policy violations, then follow the network’s appeal instructions with timestamps and evidence.

User experience and diversification matter. Intrusive hover/pop ads may boost short-term clicks but harm retention (as noted) and can violate policies. For long-term stability combine contextual/display networks with direct-sold ads, affiliate offers or memberships, and track everything. Quick checklist:

  • instrument ad units with distinct identifiers and track RPM by page type
  • audit traffic sources weekly and block obvious bot/referrers
  • avoid wording that asks or incentivizes clicks
  • run any new ad provider on a subset of pages until performance is proven

This guidance supplements the thread: use measured tests and clear policies as the basis for choosing or switching networks.

I suggest to choose adsense. It's quiet good than in adbrite.

Member Avatar for Doctor Inferno

And why?...

Member Avatar for mark1993

I 'd say go with adbrite you know why? well guess what happened for no reason i got banned from adsense and they said My site had invalid clicks i mean my site is perfectly normal you check it out youself if you dont believe <snip URL> nothing wrong right? Thats why I suggest change to Adbrite one small problem your site has to have a lot of traffic reason is there are more publishers than advertisers in Adbrte

Member Avatar for Dani

More publishers than advertisers means that, as a publisher, you're not as much in demand, and advertisers won't have to pay premiums to get onto your site ... This translates into lower eCPMs.

Stick to AdSense. But don't click your own ads.

Member Avatar for x3mario

And why?...

And based on my experience, adsense gives more income that in adbrite.

Member Avatar for mitz

Is adbrite the ads scattered throughout the article? And when you mouseover an ad comes up... Well if thats it, I hate it. I bet you it annoys everyone!

Adsense is the go if you have traffic.

Adsense is the go if you have traffic.

Yes, it's true. You can have a good income if you have also a good traffic on your site.

Member Avatar for ithelp

adsense is better as long you do not get banned , then you need to try adbrite , bidvertiser , chitika ,etc.

Member Avatar for mark1993

Well I have been banned for adsense for no reasons and i am quite frustrated.

Member Avatar for x3mario

Just because adsense team cannot trace who is and where the clicks came from. If they found out that you clicks suddenly increases they will ban you even if you are not the one clicking your ads.

Member Avatar for mitz

I think I am talking about that kontara thing that goes in your content...
But adsense is the go for sure... then yes...if you get banned, try the others.

Member Avatar for aneesh.nl

I also get banned.

Member Avatar for x3mario

Well I have been banned for adsense for no reasons and i am quite frustrated.

And you are another victim of the "click fraud".

Member Avatar for mackone

As replied by others here google adsense is the best. Occasionally will ban people for random reasons, some are legit, some are not.

Member Avatar for sree22_happy

i too got banned from adsense now i am using adbrite.It has lower earnings but doesnt ban anyone .....

Member Avatar for tiger86

Has anyone tried contacting google adsense about a innapropiate ban? If you have a good legit case they may look into it.

Member Avatar for callingbells

Hi,
Another concern is the glocbal reach. Can anyone tell me whether adbrite supports in India and the middle east.

Member Avatar for sree22_happy

Yes... Adbrite is more profitable if you have high traffic...

Member Avatar for jones2010

both of them

Member Avatar for camijuli

Adsense is better. Has more advertisers and the payments are faster.

Member Avatar for wiicopy

adsense should be your main priority, the reason is pretty simple because adsense has more advertiser then adbrite, and mostly you get pay higher with adsense over adbrite with same impression and CTR level you collect from your traffic

Member Avatar for KarlWood95

Regards
Karl

Member Avatar for clickzads.com

adsense is much better the AdBrite
But depend on your site ...
like if your site user dont like to click on ads ... then AdBrite popup is better

Member Avatar for goodsamaritan

adsense is better, the bag thing is that you can't put adsense on certain webpages like gore, or violence. Adserving to my site has been disabled until i can fix it... go figure. SNIP

AdSense is definitely a better option than Adbrite as it shows related advertisements and variations across time barriers.
