Starting a new site or increasing traffic to your current site, either way the useful traffic resource of the adGridNetwork is a tool you cannot forget.

The adGridNetwork is a free link exchange with a difference, contextually targeted ads.

The AdGridNetwork effectively combines both the affluent worlds of link exchanges and google's (and others) adSense and adWords programs, taking the best from both.

How Does It Work?

Free Advertising

First of all, click that link ^^

Then you follow the simple instructions and create a profile for your website (this helps your site ads get exposed to related content) and also create your own advert text.

The next step is to implement the advert code on your own website, this is a simple copy and paste procedure, just like adSense. And your done, now site back and enjoy the free hits :)

The Site Itself I have to admit, the site is very good. Its not very often i am impressed by a website, but the open design, ease of use, and simplicity without loosing functionality really appeals to me.

I find it truly refreshing to see such quality in a new site.

Hows it working out for me?

Currently i have a ratio of about 40% for ads displayed on my site, to ads displayed on other sites, and unfortunately a poor click through ratio. I have yet to optimise my advertisement, which should hopefully increase my click through ratio.

I have included the advertisements code into my bespoke ad-rotator system, so half the time google ads, and the other half, adGridWork ads. I figure this will provide a unique change for users on the site, away from the typical banner/google ads.

Ideas for improvement/features

There are a few features i would like to see, or atleast talk about with the site. First of all:

I would like to see more options for changing the display, including font size of the displayed ads, also i would like to set how many ads are displayed per block.

Secondly,
I would like the script which is to be included on my website to contain a javascript variable relating to the advert being displayed (like trade doubler do), this way i can track how many clicks are created myself, to backup or contradict your own statistics.

Thirdly,
Geo-targeted advertisements: Although this is not required for this site, some of my other sites are very specific to the UK.

Finally.
Banner ads. I know i know, banner ads are mean, but i suggest banner ads are only used as a reward to users with a much better display ratio to receive ratio.

It could help even out the balance for each sites display/received ratio.

Conclusion

The site is awesome, and i look forward to doing much more business with them in the future. All you web-masters out there, sign up and help this wonderful network.
