| OneRiot Advertisement network catering to Twitter apps. Basically they do advertisements to put on Twitter apps - which puts money into the hands of application developers and puts ads on these apps for Twitter. The biggest advantage is that the advertisers will have their ads seen by literally millions of Twitter users. They claim to be able to target audiences based on influence,interest profile, demographics and realtime conversations. Eeeeks! What happened to privacy? Of course, some users do not like the fact that there are advertisements on their Twitter but then even developers have to eat right? |

| Kanoodle Basically a collection of search engines with advertising in mind. That means they have a collection of search engines and you get to advertise in them. One thing I don't trust such search engines which have advertisements as their main focus is that their results are highly inaccurate. And if the results aren't right, who would want to use their search engine when Google and the other major search engines do a better job? Makes no sense when it comes to the advertiser either. They want real users to click on their adverts. They want real visitors who are interested in their products. If you are looking for an Adword alternative, then you should look elsewhere. However, I always support the smaller guys and if you are looking for an Adwords alternative, you should perhaps check out their offerings. Your adverts are basically text-based sponsored links at the top of the search results. |

| Kontera The most irritating online advertising network ever. I mean, seriously irritating. Have you ever been to a website that have tons of underlined text which when your mouse hoovers over, some sort of advertisement appears? It gets in the way of proper reading and you have to keep your mouse perfectly still so as not to have these advertisements appear out of no where. Well, this is the group that provides these advertisements and the mouse-over technoogy. Thanks to them, once I see these kind of advertisements, I hit the Go Back button on my browser. Although I have to admit, the idea is rather sound - you get relevent audience who are actually reading your site's content. But I guess the delivery is way off. Don't you just hate it when you are reading something, an advertisement appears and block everything. Anyway, if you are thinking of making money from your website, you might want to sign up as their publisher. |

| ShareASale Need to make some money from your website? Well, nearly everybody does. Not many of us have the financial means to support a website without any form of support from our visitors. For me, I usually go for subscription based fees if at the very most, those Adsense kind of advertisements. However, if you are a blog reviewing items, you might get better results from affiliate marketing whereby you help promote (and sell) a particular product. It actually works better than advertisements which requires clicks for you to make money. It will probably take months if not years to make some real money. "Affiliates" use their service to find products to promote, and then earn commission for referrals on those products, just like Amazon. They even have a platform for you to manage all your campaigns - just like Google Adsense. Of course if your website is like mine, then I think it is not the correct advertisement network. You should always choose the correct network for your website type. |
