ShoppingAds - New CPC Program from Text Link Ads

Text-Link-Ads has launched a Cost Per Click (CPC) Ad program called ShoppingAds. I received a private invite to this program and if you are a TLA publisher, you might have received it too. I have made quite a few observations that might be of your interest if you are looking at trying out new Ad networks for making money from your websites.

Here are my initial observations about ShoppingAds.

• Similar to Chitika and AuctionAds- This new program is very similar in appearance to chitika and AuctionAds, except that the Ads from ShoppingAds look much better than those of Chitika and may yield in higher CTR just because of their good appearance. The clarity of images of the products that appear in your ad unit is excellent. Note that these ads are not auction ads.
• Higher CPC - When I last experimented with Chitika on my website, the CTR was low (due the nature of content I post) and also the CPC value. On an average Chitika paid $0.02 per click whereas, ShoppingAds claims to offer upto $0.20 per click on an average.
• Variety of Ad formats - ShoppingAds offers almost all the Ad formats that AdSense offers. Customizing the look and feel of the Ads that will appear in your site is very very easy in the panel offered by ShoppingAds.

Overall - I am very pleased with the appearance and overall design of their control panel. It’s simple and good. I am yet to arrive at a conclusion if this program will perform better than AdSense on my blog and when I am ready, I will write another post to tell you more about it.

Currently ShoppingAds is running through private beta, when they launch it for public, do give them a try. If your site’s niche is electronics, you will like ShoppingAds.
