BuySellAds.com: The Advertising Marketplace: Blog Orientated
In the last few weeks a new advertising service has been slowly emerging and has signed some of the power blogs around the blogosphere already, that service is BuySellAds. I came across their service a couple days ago via BloggingTips, and thought I would let all our readers know about their service.
Buysellads are basically an advertising marketplace or a serlf-service platform which allows publishers and advertisers to meet in one single location and automate all of their advertising needs. The platform itself is not overly new, because it has been done in a similar way by Adbrite for many years now. However, that being said Buysellads is blog specific at present and has a more professional and better layout style than Adbrite.
Currently Buysellads take a 25% cut from all advertising purchased across their platform, which isnt niether high or low, because more of their competitors charge in the region of 20-30% as their standard fees, eg Blogads.
Buysellads does I think have a better understand of what is required when it comes to blog advertising. On the publishers individual pages they have details stats like alexa ranking, compete ranking, delicious, technorati and inbound links. This allows the advertisers to gain more of a feel about the popularity of a site.
Publishers can set the number of ads which will be displayed in an ad zone and you can also sell more ads than are being displayed and simply put the ads in rotation. All ads are sold on a monthly basis and you can decide yourself whether banner ads use the nofollow tag.
The entire system is automated, thus allowing advertising to interact where appropriate, and allowing publishers not to have to worry about controlling advertisers schedules, invoicing, credit control, etc etc.
BuySellAds is still in a beta stage at the moment however the standard of websites seems to be very high so don’t be alarmed if your blog isn’t accepted (sites are reviewed individually). Current sites already using the service, bloggingtips, freelance switch, psdtuts, logopond and cssmania.
Im thinking about trying our Buysellads for myself so I can let everyone know if they perform or not. Should I try to get into their beta?

Thanks for the link Steven
I think once the site gets some more exposure it will start to be a viable alternative for bloggers.
Now if I could only get an invite!!
Hey Steven… try to get into their beta and of course waiting for your feedback later on!
@ Steven, thanks for the review! Of course your site would be accepted into the private beta, if you haven’t already registered, please do, we’ll approve you right away.
@ Kevin, thanks again for your review that sparked this review
@ Davinder, your site would get in too, just register and mention this post
Thanks for giving us a shot guys, hopefully we can sell some ads for you all!
@Davinder I will test it out for a while and of course report about the experience back here on Crenk.
I think technorati engage is better because if your ad space is not yet bought, they will run cpc ads, and every click gives .10 to .20! Not bad!
One more thing, Technorati engage is easy to use and cute dashboard for publishers too!
I wonder how buy sell ads is getting on these days. Any new reviews on this? Interesting comment from qarla.
Interesting market place I love the fact that I saw many of the bolgs in my sort of niche on their website.
It sort very good., I might give it a try.
