Bidvertiser Offers FeedBurner Solution

They want the CC in case you go over the limit. Don't worry they will not charge you. I used my $20 worth and never went over and they have not charged me a cent.

I think it is a great deal.

Yeah, a lot of people complain about the credit card thing but to me it just makes sense. I mean if you bid $1 per click you're going to burn through it pretty quick. The company has to be getting something from you, these types of deals are pretty standard.

AdWords/YSM/AdCenter have the same approach, it is simply common sense to implement something in order to make sure that people are not going over-board as far as taking advantage of the offer is concerned.

It allows you to keep your feedburner stats and use the feed at the same time without transfering the feeds to bidvertiser and loosing the increased stats etc.

Good points. I am implementing this plugin right away.

Thanks

Let me know how it goes, I'm thinking of doing the same thing.

Thats a nice idea, although you should focus on implementing some form of advertisements to start earning revenue from your blog so readers are building with your ads their otherwise, if you implement them later on...your readers will kinda get abit annoyed and you'll loose some with them saying "i only came because, you were ad free" etc.

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with monetizng your website right from the start, as long as the content you are publishing on a regular basis makes your resource worth following.

Adsense is the easier option, since Google bought feedburner its not like you even have to use as many steps as bidvertisers option to implement.

It all depends on how it works out for publishers, if there will be some great reports it's quite easy to imagine that more than a few bloggers will be trying this one on for size.

Why wait? If you wait until you have a larger number of subscribers, you could risk ticking people off when you start putting ads in your feed.

If you put the ads in from the get-go, you reduce that chance. Plus, you could still get some income (pennies though it might be) now too.

Not that I've followed that advice, but then again this wasn't available previously. ;-)

They're not becoming better, just the way they go about their business is getting better and they are trying to compete on a level which isn't targetted by rivals to adsense.

Hah, i have actually never liked bidvertiser, their ads have never been targeted and the click through rate was yikies. I would rather see them displaying more relevant ads rather than playing around with feeds, but I will give them another try.

There are other options including adsense with is another easier and more efficient service to implement. Although bidvertiser is trying to build market share in this sector, i still think bloggers will stick to adsense because, its easier to implement.

Shoooot! I get an error everytime I try to use them with my feedburner... followed their steps, but when it comes to placing their new feed into the original feed place in feedburner, there is an error generated.
