BidVertiser is a unique type of PPC (Pay Per Click) network which pays for every visitor that clicks on an advertisement placed on your website or blog and an extra revenue if the click turns into a conversion.
Conversion can be filling up of a form, signing up to a website, buying a product etc.
So there is always a dual chance to make money: one from clicks and second from conversions.

How it Works?
Here is the working of BidVertiser which is again somewhat unique!
1.Advertisers set Bids for their Ads to be displayed in websites or blogs of some specific category or niche.
2.BidVertiser checks the Publisher’s site’s (website or blog) category and displays the highest bidders on his/her site.
3.When visitors click ads, publishers earn money. They make extra revenue if a click turns into conversion.
4.Publishers get paid at the end of the month!
Note: Publishers will see a constant improvement in their bidding over time, as both their visitors and BidVertiser’s advertisers will be exposed to the opportunity of bidding against each other on publisher’s ad space.

Cons
1.Design of website is not attractive. This is one of the reasons that only few people Sign Up to BidVertiser.
2.Initially Earning is low due to less exposure of your website to the advertisers.
3.There are fluctuations in daily earnings. You may earn one day $12 but at the very next day only $3.
4.Ads are displayed according to category and may not be relevant if your niche is small.
5.It may sometime appear that BidVertiser is not counting some the clicks you get; it is because of their click protection algorithm and fraud detection team which do not count repeated clicks on same ad, invalid or fraud clicks. This is done to ensure that advertisers pay only for real and valid clicks.
6.Quality of ads is not very good.
What are Revenue Points?
Revenue Points or Click Points are a joint measurement of your traffic’s potential to drive conversions to advertisers and additional revenue for you, combined from various campaigns served (CPC/CPM/CPA) and optimized to maximize your revenue. Revenue points are partially updated on real time but are fully updated along with Daily Revenue Update.
BidVertiser Vs Adsense
Every network has its ups and downs; it’s true for Adsnese and BidVertiser also. Let’s see comparison between BidVertiser and Adsense:
Sign Up Process and Approval
BidVertiser: Sign Up process is just as easy as 1 2 3…No Minimum Age requirement. There is No Approval Process. Any website/blog/subdomain/warez site accepted, even newest blogs/sites are accepted.
Adsense: You must be at least 18 years to apply; if you are not, use your parent’s account. Applying is easy but approval is the hardest. Some of the times even professional sites are not accepted.
Fill Rate, Quality and Type of Ads
Fill Rate = (Number of times ads was shown / Total number of page impressions) × 100
BidVertiser: Fill rate is approximately 100%. Quality of ads is not very good. However, it has many ad types which is one of the reason I like it.
Adsnese: Fill rate is 100% in Adsense also. Ads are of best quality. It supports text and contextual ads related to content of site.
Pay Per Click and Earnings
BidVertiser: Pay Per Click is good but not the best. In some niches it pays really good PPC but some of the time it pays less. Earnings from BidVertiser are decent which is proved from $288.83 that BidVertiser sent me.
Adsense: Pay Per Click is the best, no question about it. PPC is good in most of the niches. You can expect more earnings from Adsense than BidVertiser.
Minimum Payout and Payment Methods
BidVertiser: Minimum payout is only $10. Payment methods are Paypal, Check, Western Union and Wire Transfer.
Adsense: Minimum Payout is $100. Payment method is Check only.
BidVertiser as an Adsense Alternative
I guess, more than half of you who are reading this post are not getting approval for Adsense or you are banned from Adsense. The previous statement would have been scary if there would have only Adsense as an Ad Network, but it’s not the case. In fact there are hundreds of Ad network other than Adsense to monetize your site and one of them is BidVertiser.
Let’s see why BidVertiser can act as a good Adsense Alternative:
1.It is quite similar to Adsnese as it provides text and PPC ads. The only difference is that Adsnese displays ads according to content while BidVertiser displays according to category.
2.Its Pay Per Click is lower than Adsense but higher than most of the other networks out there.
3.Similar to Adsnese you can customize the look of the ads.
4.It has 100% fill rate and pays for traffic from any country.
