Abrite and Nigerian bloggers

If you are seeking to make money online from your web content, I suggest you try Adbrite. If you already have a blog, you can still use Adbrite.
Adbrite is an online advertising company just like Google adsense, that allows web publishers to make money from their sites by signing up on the publisher program. Online advertising is growing and have not yet reached it's peak in Nigeria and so, if you are still waiting for later to start making money online, it could be too late by then. Even if you already have a means of making money from your website using Google adsense and Amazon, adding Adbrite could help you earn more.
I have been using Adbrite for a while now and I'm getting used to it. When I first started, the income was very low compared to what I made from other advertising networks like Google but Adbrite is slow and steady and offers tools that Adsense does not offer - Selling text links on your website.

Selling text links directly with Adbrite
You set your own price per day, week or month, you don't need anyone to tell you how much you can. This is what most Nigerian bloggers have always wanted - the ability to sell ads directly on their website without having to outsource it. When you user the publishing tools offered by Adbrite, you will be able to set you website worth and sell ads at your own price and at your own frequency.

Showing Full page ads
Full pages ads are javascript ads just like Google adsense ads but they are different in appearance - it displays on the entire page. Adbrite's full page ads appear after a certain interval of page views and it depends on your settings. Once you increase the frequency, it will bring you more income and you get paid whether visitors click on it or not. You should be able to put the interests on your visitors in mind when using this feature so as not to be too obtrusive while at the same time trying to make some quick dollars from it. You can earn as much as $0.001 per impression and you can set it to display after every single page view and 6hrs per user and the good thing is that you can use it on the same page as Google adsense.

Using Adbrite as an Alternate ad
Tired of displaying those Adsense ads that pays you nothing per click. They are also called Public Service Announcements and generate no earnings per click. The best thing you need to do is go into your Adsense account and set an alternate ad when Google adsense no longer has any paying ad to display and redirect it to your adbrite ad page or code. This would allow you to automatically display Adbrite's ads on your website. In doing this, remember to use the same ad dimension as the Google ads. I prefer using 728 by 90 for both adsense and Adbrite which would both pay me per click whenever a user clicks on them

Payment mode
Adbrite pays monthly and normally sends you a cheque even if you are in Nigeria, whenever you reach the minimum threshhold of $100 or the target you set for yourself. I have set mine at $500 before receiving the cheque although I have currently earned over a $100 from it.

Conclusion
If you are a Nigerian blogger and have not yet started monetizing your website, why not try Adbrite today. If you are already using other PPC networks, you can still include Adbrite in other aspects such as direct text links selling and others. It really does pay.

Update:
Adbrite is dead! You can still try out Clicksor, a better alternative.
