Black Web 2.0: 10+ Tips to get the most out of an Ad Network or Rep

    I personally had to threaten AdGroups after I smelled some “shady” dealings/practices. “I don’t care if you’re Black owned, where is my money?”

    I've been working with Common Sense Media as the ad firm used by my blog since back around the time of the 1st Blogging While Brown conference. I've been happy with their responsiveness ... the types of ads that they promote fit the theme of my blog. I get a small residual check on a monthly basis from them with a clear/documented report on my earnings.

    They are low-maintenance and the ads don't muck up my blog.

    Who are other competitors out there?

    peace, Villager

    Hi Akeet,

    I think it is important to note that ad networks and rep firms apply to all most websites not just blogs/blogger. Thx for commenting.

    Yes, this is an excellent article. It would be nice to know a little more about the actual author, rather than just "BW 2.0 Staff." I've been looking for an ad rep that would work well with my content. I know I'm not optimized with Google Adsense. I'll be coming back for more tips.

    Thanks Indo, The author is the CEO of a very large independent site and has experience running a number of sites. They did not want to be identified but thought is was important to share this kind of information. I agree that many of us really needed to hear this kind of advice. Thx for commenting!
