ADSDAQ- A MUST HAVE Adsense Add-on!

Not too long ago someone brought up the subject of Adsdaq on my blog forum. Until then I had never heard of it. Being the curious George that I am I visited the site and loved what I saw.
This program runs as a COMPLIMENT to Adsense. Basically you can choose your cost per thousand impressions and if adsdaq has an add that can be displayed at that price it will; if not your adsense just loads up. Currently it has two formats; one of them is a full horizontal banner while the other is a full vertical skyscraper. It’s installed on the adsense on the left hand column of this blog. Chances are you’re seeing adsense but some of you will be seing the adsdaq ads. (Note this was written before I rented the site out as Run of Site; once that rental expires they WILL be back.)
If you aren’t using adsenes anywhere and want to use adsdaq I recommend you add adsense as well because if the service has no advert to serve up it just shows a generic one from the company which isn’t the most attractive or productive; you’d be much better off with adsense as a backup.
What’s cool is you control your OWN rates. An example; at 1$/thousand impressions you may be serving ads 60% of the time; you can increase it to say $2 and notice a slight decrease; although a decrease in impressions you’re now earning double per impression so the decrease in impressions is negligible as long as it’s not half. Currently this blog is running Adsdaq at a rate of ~2$/thousand impressions. It makes a few extra dollars a week that I didn’t have previously and my adsense earnings have remained basically unchanged.
I spoke with the company on the phone at length and they were INCREDIBLY helpful. One thing that I wanted to verify was whether it’s against adsense terms of service as losing that would be devastating. They say that nowhere in the TOS can they find anything that indicates the program is not compliant. Thousands of people are using it without a problem so I believe it’s a safe assumption. One interesting tidbid however that the lady I spoke with passed on is that 40% fill rate is what you should be aiming for to maximize earnings. You can keep playing around with the CPM until you find a rate that gets served at ~40%. For this blog that is ~2$. Not bad!
Try the program out on ALL sites / blogs that you own. On my blog forum I was at ~0.25$ - 0.50$ / thousand impressions serving ~15-25% of the ads while on this one the service and cost per thousand is MUCH MUCH higher albeit the traffic much much lower.
Adsdaq takes a few minutes to setup and once setup you can set it and forget it. It will bring in some extra money depending on your blog type. If you are currently running adsense on your blog / site I highly recommend you give it a shot.
