ADSDAQ beta is open to all web publishers
ADSDAQ sent me an invitation to their beta release. ADSDAQ is a publisher program where you make money by serving only graphical ads. It’s a banner ads only program. Banner formats available for serving are: 300×250, 120×600, 160×600 and 728×90. They do not have 468×60 banner format. I am not sure why, but most probably because of the banner blindness for this format. I had blogged about ADSDAQ here previously.
The Difference
It’s different from other publisher programs in one way. You can set your own price. You can set different CPM rates for different campaigns. For example, if you set $10 per CPM, then only banners (advertisers) that bid more than $10 per CPM will be displayed on your blog.
It’s one way of controlling SPAM banners. Those IM smiley banners won’t appear when you can control the price, and when you set high CPM rates. Usually those spam banners will have very low CPM rates, something like 0.05 - 0.50 per CPM.
Note: Setting too high CPM will eliminate too many advertisers, thus making your site too expensive to advertise on. So be careful about it.
As for me, for testing purposes I have set my CPM to $5.00. Maybe that can be guide for you. You need to keep testing with different rates, in order to get optimal CPM rate.
The Performance
I had joined the program, and will be serving 160×600 banners on the left column of this blog. After 1 to 2 months I will blog about the performance. Till then stay tuned! ;)
Should you join?
Why not. Give it a try and if it will work out for you, then don’t forget to drop here and leave a comment about it.

Thanks for sharing new affiliate program. I like to test new program as well.
Have you heard much about this company? Reliable payouts? Enough advertisers to fill your CPM requests?
Looking forward to your follow up in couple of months.
