I've used them before. At first I was making decent money ($100/month) and growing with my list of advertisers growing. But then they implemented a change to their program, which showed performance an all-time performance snapshot of the different ad zones to the advertiser before they signed up. This seemed to turn off any new advertisers to my program, since I was basically selling ad space at the footer of my site (not high clickthrough, but cheap). I ended up pulling them from my site when they stopped performing.
Never did see a check from them either. They owed me over $100. After a system upgrade to their reporting tool I went back in to find my stats wiped out and their reports showing nothing in my earnings.
Oh well. I'll send a few token emails, see if it gets anywhere... Otherwise chaulk it up as a loss. Pocket change compared to what I make with other programs...
btw, is there any ad network which can be run on the same page as adsense and would also be allowed by adsense TOS?
Adbrite is NET 90. Therefore I think they are on time with the payment. Stop giving me a scare! I just got my first advertiser with them.
this really reminds me of the good old days reading FC...
And they are expanding, looks like they are going public.
They are more picky these days over the page impressions a site has to deliver in order to be accepted, but in our experience they pay good money (> $1000 per month), regularly.
Adbrite, we trialled, but were not impressed with.

I was earning about USD 300/m from AdSense on my site and after the new Google algo change i am now earning avg. 170/month a big change. My site has more than 35000 unique visitors a month and the content is hardly changed in last 1 and half years. It is all html pages about 300 in total. Infect my site was showing only one AdSense skyscraper before but now I have added two no difference yet.
Is it worth to turn it off AdSense and move to Adbrite? As I understood you can not run both. Experience advice required.
Thanks
We do not permit Google ads or search boxes accessing Google search services to be published on web pages that also contain what could be considered competing ads or services. This would include ads that mimic Google ads or otherwise appear to be associated with Google on your site. If you have elected to receive content-based Google ads, this would also include all other content-targeted ads.
How does Adbrite violate this part of the TOS?
Looks like the adsense police is here... give it a break. Whoohoo he stated an average income off of his adsense earnings. This is really getting old, we cant have a discussion without someone coming in about the google terms and conditions being broken. Let me tell you a secret, google is not god.
You are that same person who wouldn't think shoplifting is stealing. "All I did was take a bag of chips, so what, no one will miss it". I hope you are not a webmaster because if you have customers they probably don't know you don't have any morals or ethics. Rules are rules and if I sign something (electronically or physically) then I live by the terms, not outside of the box on what I believe is right. Thumbs down to you.
Let google handle their own stuff. People state numbers all the time. It's their decision...
All the Best,

(yes the same VC firm that help fund Google & Yahoo.
So, how about it. Can you run both on the same page, or no?
Well, that is no longer relevant, saying publicly how much you make, due to google revised TOS permitting it.
From my understanding Adwords terms are still the same. Adsense policy has changed and it only pertain to Adsense not Adwords.
I'm not policing or enforcing anything just trying to clear up speculations. Thanks.

Apparently not -considering that there is Adsense and Adbrite on the site that GoogleGuy pointed out to (and was kind enough to help them get reincluded after they were dropped from G) at the URL he has mentioned in his post (msg #21) at: [webmasterworld.com...] I would want to believe that had this (running Adsense and Adbrite on the same page) been a violation of Google Adsense T&C, that site would not have probably survived a scrutiny that it would have received while being considered for reinclusion in Google index.
But then this is still mere speculation/extrapolation on my part. If you want to play it safe, check with Google/GoogleGuy/Googlette.
