AdvertiseSpace.com, Anything New to Offer?

  • Sharebar

Since late last year, I’ve been quite seeing a small buzz around a startup advertising network that simplifies the process of buying and selling ads which is called Advertise Space. I’ve seen them advertising on big blogs around the blogosphere and was quite intrigued about them.

Ultimately I signed up on their service because it’s free and there’s nothing to lose. Now as I was navigating their whole site I wondered “does this site have anything unique to offer?” I mean since blogging has emerged there are sure tons of third party networks that present themselves to “automate” the process of selling ad spaces on our blogs and obviously most of them have just died in the process.

Unfortunately I really haven’t seen anything new about their platform. You sign up with them and get approved (or not) and you can start displaying the script and their ads. Obviously, there’s nothing in their system that I find appealing. When you click on a blank ad space you are redirected to page like this:

And when you click on the buy now button you are redirected to a paypal payment page. So frankly speaking, I find it absurd. I mean sure they’d find the advertisers for you and in exchange get like 60% of the revenue but these days that isn’t anything that can make us get excited. BuySellAds does have the same program BUT they have better features like showing site metrics and also takes small percentages. Obviously OIO Publisher has been still one of the leaders and gets NO cut at all (and you’d be crazy not to take advantage of their $15 off promo for this month seriously!)

To end this one, should you still give AdvertiseSpace.com a look? Definitely! It’s free, there’s nothing to lose, and you get to blame no one when you don’t make money. ;-) Again that was just my sheer opinion in it and you should not base your decision on it.  How about you guys, what do you think of this new startup platform?

      You are right Melvin, I have been among the first bloggers who joined this new advertising network. Put their banner on blog but nothing new, only the support for iPhone. I do not recommend it too, I love BSA!

      I’ll have to agree with you that this seems like “yet another” one that doesn’t offer anything unique. There is a chance that they will come up with something unique, but at the moment, it is questionable and I don’t see any big advantages to OIOpublisher which does the job AdvertiseSpace does and takes no cut as you mentioned.

      Adtoll is better than this one in my opinion.

      Advertise Space is a great platform for AD management (for start up). But I love OIO-Publisher.

      Hey Melvin,

      Thanks for testing out our system, and thanks for the review.

      One feature that you didn’t mention that does separate us for others is our built in affiliate system. So even if you don’t sell any ads on your site, anyone that clicks through you ‘advertise here’ banner and signs up, you will get a referral payment of 5% – 10%, and it is monthly recurring.

      Also the percentage to the publisher is on a sliding scale and only starts out at 60% and it can go as high as 80% based on site quality and advertiser feedback.

      I agree with you on not showing enough information on the profile, and we are working on adding more info.

      Stayed tuned for more features.

      Thanks again!

      Chad Randall, CEO
      AdvertiseSpace Inc.

      Hehe they couldn’t think of anything revolutionary so they just made something that already exists all over the Internet – how many times have I heard that one. Nice post though, thanks for giving us the heads-up so we don’t waste or time on it.
