True Cost of Advertising on Adgitize

Okay full credit to Ken Brown of Adgitize as this post was written by him. This shows just what Adgitize is really worth and what it does really cost to advertise on Adgitize.

What is the true cost of advertising on the Adgitize Ad Network? I wanted some answers to that question. So, I did what I hope is a statistically significant test. I went to the database and chose all active advertisers that were currently running one (125 X 125 px) ad on the Adgitize Ad Network.

From that list I then randomly selected 13 active advertisers. Then I let the database take the average number of click throughs per day for these 13 advertisers for the last 10 days. I came up with each advertiser is receiving 77 clicks per day to their site from their blog ad on the Adgitize Ad Network.

To be Honest, I Was Surprised

To be honest, I was surprised. I didn’t think it would be that high. What does this mean to an advertiser? Ok, each monthly ad you purchase from Adgitize runs for 31 days throughout our network. Multiplying 77 ad clicks per day times 31 days equals your ad will be clicked on average 2,387 times per month. Remember, this is your ad being shown on a blog in our network and someone clicking the ad to arrive at your blog. This is 2,387 visitors to your blog each and every month.

Cost Per Click - 1 Penny

Cost per click is exactly 1 USD penny or 24 divided by 2387 = 0.01005. A penny per click. Try getting that on Google AdSense. These aren’t college kids earning drinking money; these are bloggers just like you wanting to know more about your life, ideas and opinions.

Numbers Get Better

But the numbers get better. Because if you are an active publisher scoring over 199 points per day and advertising then you are getting money from Adgitize that will help you pay for your ads. I went with an average earnings of 20 cents for the 200 to 300 point tier. If you do the math it is a rebate of $6.20 per month or a monthly ad cost of only $17.80. You get the same 2,387 click throughs each month and your cost per click comes down to $0.007 per click. An excellent price for ads on the Adgitize Ad Network.

Going one step further let’s see how the 300 plus tier numbers look. Active publishers will earn a minimum of 50 cents a day from Adgitize. (Even more under the new rates.) Multiply 50 cents per day times 31 days gives you $15.50 per month. Substract that figure from a monthly ad rate of $24 and you get a per click rate of ONLY $0.0035. That is an amazing number.

Earn More Than Ad Costs

And some people will earn more as a publisher than it costs to place an ad - in effect Adgitize PAYS YOU to advertise on our network. WOW.

Affiliates Earn Even More

Are our rates right for you? I don’t know. That is for you to decide. But, at a penny a click to your blog, why don’t you try it? Be a publisher and earn some of the ad cost back. Plus, as an affiliate you can earn even more driving the cost per click even lower.

Remember these are averages and may not accurately reflect your actual results. To get an average of 77 you might have one ad at 97 and another ad at 57. We make no guarantee of the number of actual clicks you will receive on any given day. It is a function of your ad, where it is shown, on whose blog it is shown and possibly the content of your blog.

300 Points Paying 51 Cents a Day

As a note to current members. I have purposely chosen lower numbers for earnings rates and have not shown the new higher rates because the earnings haven’t gotten to that point yet. They will be getting higher and higher as the month wears on. I noticed today that 300 points was paying 51 cents. In October, 300 points paid as little as 40 cents a day. So, the earnings are rising.

  1. Excellent post! I have been with Adgitize since early spring and could not be happier. I started as a publisher then in the summer decided to take the plunge to advertise my cooking blog. I was really pleased with the results so also bought an ad for my gardening blog and bought a preferred publisher spot. With the price increase I did drop the gardening ad but kept the cooking ad and I am seriously considering buying preferred publisher spots for the rest of my blogs. I’m just waiting to see how the price raise affects things and right now it’s hard to judge traffic trends with the holiday season now upon us.

    Adgitize has been nothing but a pleasant and positive experience for me. Ken is doing a remarkable job for a top notch service! I will continue on as an advertiser increasing and decreasing advertising as needed and I will continue to be an active member as much as possible!

  2. Thanks for the information, during this time I’m curious of how much should I pay if I become adgitize advertiser, I’m glad you give me clue for it :)
