Make Money Online With Ad Networks

There are 3 basic ways to make money online with advertising network. They are commonly known by their acronyms:
1. CPM - with CPM, you make money online by impressions. You are paid when an ad is shown on your site. CPM stand for Cost Per Thousand ("M" is 1,000 in Greek Numerology)

2. CPC - with CPC, you make money online with user clicks. You are paid when someone clicks on an ad on your site.

3. CPA - with CPA, you make money online when a user takes a predetermined action. You are paid when the visitor does something -- for example, filling out a form or buying a product or service online.

To make money online you need to know the advertising networks. Below is a good list of the major advertising networks to help you get a fast start:

24/7 Real Media

24/7 Real Media offers standard graphic ad units to show a profit online with CPM and CPC campaigns. The account managers are really responsive, but their interface is terrible. Going through the advertisers and checking your income is a really complicated and slow process.

Ad Pepper

Ad Pepper can help you make money online by providing exclusive or non-exclusive representation for your site's ad inventory. They offer several types of CPM ads including graphic, contextual, and integrated text links.

AdBrite

AdBrite offers CPC, CPA, and CPM in a variety of formats including text ads, inline ads, banners, video, full page ads, ads in photos to help you do well online.

They'll sell ads on your site as a weekly sponsorship package with your ad space priced by the week. You set your own rate, which is cool, but advertisers can see your stats, which let's them evaluate your cost per click anyway. If your inventory isn't purchased, CPC ads will be displayed.
