A month or so back, I’ve subscribed myself to Adgridwork.
I read on another blog about their service and thought, why don’t I give it a try?
What they do is pretty nice actually. Their some kind of Google Adsense clone, except their totally free.

You can make your own advertisement text which they’ll display on other sites that are subscribed in the Adgridwork network.
How many times your ad is displayed, depends on the times your displaying other ads on your own site.
Blogrush uses the same calculating scheme, except they add some bonus points also.

Because you can’t really customize the ads from Adgridwork, I made the decision to place their ads on the border of my blog. By doing this, I know I wasn’t going to generate much click trough, which will earn you extra points to display your own ads, but I was testing them out to see how much traffic it will generate to my own site. That’s the main purpose.

But after this month of testing I must say that it’s really depressing to see that there were only a few click troughs to my site.

I think that the problem with the Adgridwork ads are that they aren’t that customizable to give them good spots on a site. So why bother with giving valuable ad space up for nothing? I better look into some new advertisement programs then.
After saying bye bye to Blogrush, Adgridwork has to go also.

On the other hand, I see that my tryout with Project Wonderful is worth the space at the moment.
In the beginning I even thought I hit the jackpot when it stated that advertisement on this spot costs $0.80 a day. But the next morning it all went back from $0.04 a day. It all depends on how many are bidding on those ad spaces.

And the traffic generator of the moment is Entrecard. I feel stupid not joining them earlier

In fact, I’m thinking of giving some Entrecard Credits away in some kind of contest.
I have a few ideas in my head that I need to work out a bit, but I’m putting at least 1 contest up to start in February.
