Ad Networks That Pay In Bitcoin - and What Is Bitcoin?

clippings

If you have a website or blog and want to earn ad revenue paid in Bitcoin, or you're an advertiser and want to buy ad slots and pay in Bitcoin, this November 2015 review is for you.

AnonymousAds has a marketplace element: website owners have to decide which category their site fits into, advertisers can limit the categories their ads will appear on. Pays by impression and click. For the first few days you may only get an "advertise here" message. There is no site vetting, everything is automated. If you have a query you will find their customer support is excellent.

CoinURL has AdSense-like CPC ads and pays in Bitcoin. You have to sign up to get into the website but when you do it has nice stats etc. You can request payment in Bitcoin at any time - there's no minimum payment threshold. Advertisers can buy ad space and pay in Bitcoin. Like Google AdSense, adult sites are not allowed. This ad network is human-run, sites are vetted.

OperationFabulous is a marketplace: advertisers buy the right to have their ads on your site and pay per day, not per click. Update: seems to have ceased.

BitcoinAdvertising was the market leader, though its ad formats were limited and didn't always display well. UPDATE: this site has closed down.

BitcoinAdSmart had nice ad units and the site was quite good but it did not pay in Bitcoin! Yet the ads it served were related to Bitcoin. UPDATE: this site has also fallen by the wayside.

A drawback with ad providers that pay in Bitcoin is that many of the ads they serve are about Bitcoin - you may not get ads that interest your website's visitors. And, money per click is lower than AdSense: Bitcoin-paying ad networks aren't a good Google AdSense alternative yet. Unless you believe that Bitcoins earned today will be worth 100x as much in a year or so. Maybe Bitcoin-paying ads will take off, but they haven't reached critical mass yet.

Which is the best Bitcoin advertising network? When I first put Bitcoin-paying ads on my site they were from BitcoinAdvertising. When BitcoinAdvertising declined I switched to CoinURL. Now my preferred Bitcoin-paying ad networks are AnonymousAds and CoinURL.

What is Bitcoin, how does it work?

Bitcoins - nice idea, but I can't help thinking that being backed by nothing at all beyond faith they're cruising for a crash. Even the Spanish and Italians panicking about their economies are probably still safer in the Euro than Bitcoin in my humble opinion.

Having seen them shoot up in value so fast, it does suggest it could fall fast too.

I wouldn't buy bitcoins, but at the end of the day, all currencies are pretty much backed by faith and not a lot else.

There's a podcast on iTunes called The Invention of Money from US radio programme This American Life. It's worth 79p to hear an interesting perspective on it.

Whatever "worth 79p" means...
