I was using Bidvertiser as an alternative to Adsense but removed them more than a year ago because they just wouldn’t match up with my content like they said it would.

I even tried to manually select the ads I wanted and went through hundreds and hundreds of ads to turn them off. Instead of having them all active I think they should have had them all inactive until I turned them on.

Anyways I, like I said, I went through a lot of ads and when I was done I was only seeing ads that promoted Bidvertiser. The ads I was left with didn’t even show on my site.

I communicated with them for a while but they kept pointing the finger at me rather than help me figure out what was wrong. That doesn’t work too well with me and I just dropped them.

Well I got over it after about a year and decided to try again.

I added a web site to their system, a site that has nothing to do with gambling or mortgages but once I was setup and let them choose the ads they only put ads on my site that were casino and mortgage based.

I waited for a few days to see if they need to be on my site for a bit before they could match ads to my site.

Then I decided I would pick two other niches I work, again nothing to do with gambling or mortgages but all the sites had the same exact ads on them.

The two blogs are in the following niches: 1) gardening and 2) fly fishing, niether have anything to do with casinos or mortgages but all the ads were.

It’s like Bidvertiser has three or four ads but they are all about gambling and mortgages, the big money makers.

By The Way: My sites get more than 80% of their traffic from organic searches based around my keyword research.

Very annoying to have to put up with that so I guess I will be dropping them again. It’s time to look for another Adsense alternative that works a little like Adsense.
