In an attempt to provide the best possible marketing tools to all internet marketers the developer of the Celtnet site has make image-based ClickBank contextual (adsense-like) ads available to all. Anyone with a website can use these new image-based ads on their websites, and all for free.
‘Ad Blindness’ is a major problem for all internet marketers where site visitors get used to seeing text ads on sites and automatically tune them out. As a result click-through rates and incomes for website developers fall. To make ads stand out experiments are currently underway with image and video advertising, all to make ads stand out so that click-through rates increase once again.

It is a truism that ‘an image is worth a thousand words’ and recent studies have shown that including images in and around ads can significantly increase click-through rates. Using this recent research as a basis, Dyfed Lloyd Evans, developer of the Celtnet site has created the first ClickBank based ads system that incorporate images of the product websites into the ads themselves. These ads are completely unique and its the first time this has been done for ClickBank products.

The ads themselves plug into the Celtnet ClickBank marketplace which displays human-edited images and human-edited text for all ClickBank products. The ads themselves are contextual, and the user can chose the latest ClickBank products, any section or subsection of ClickBank or can specify their own keywords to generate the ads from. The code is generated automatically and use is a simple matter of copying and pasting into a web page. As the ads themselves are created dynamically from the Celtnet database the ads change each time the web page is refreshed.

For more details and to try the code generation pages for yourself visit: Celtnet Image Ads Generator where you can try the ad generation code for yourself and instantly see the results. Just like AdSense code you can modify the entire ‘look and feel’ of the ads to suit any website. The ads are offered as ‘Donationware’ and 8% of all proceeds go to the Celtnet site’s Help Stefan charity campaign.

The Celtnet site aims to support small webmasters and those starting-out in internet marketing by providing tools and applications that allow anyone with a website to benefit from internet marketing. The site then uses a percentage of any revenue gained to aid the charity it supports. The aim is to make the best tools available at the lowest cost for all. These novel image-based ads bring a whole new level of marketing that’s available to all.

Best For: Making money with little effort

Google AdSense

What it does: Displays text, image, and video ads based on your site’s content

What’s cool: Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) searches your site and serves ads that are relevant to its content. Its smart technology and huge pool of advertisers typically translate into above-average payouts. Once you’ve been approved as a publisher, any site you run can use Google AdSense. You can block competitors from advertising on your site by blacklisting their websites.

Drawbacks: It doesn’t let you approve ads before they run on your site. In fact, because Google’s ads are based on your site’s content, there’s a good chance the ads will tout goods or services that compete with yours.

What it pays: Typically from 5 cents to $15 a click, depending on the content in the ad.

Best For: Selling ads to your customers

AdBrite

What it does: Serves up a wide variety of advertisements, including text ads, banner ads, and interstitials–ads that briefly take over an entire page of your website

What’s cool: AdBrite lets you approve or ban specific ads before they appear on your site. Plus, you can place a “Your Ad Here” button on your site that allows visitors to buy an ad in that slot. So if your company makes, say, business software, your customers could advertise to one another on your site.

Drawbacks: Interstitial ads could annoy your visitors. Also, you’ll have to spend a few minutes a day approving or banning new ads if you want total control over what will appear on your site.

What it pays: Depending on your traffic and the type of ad, expect to earn 10 cents to $10 per 1,000 views.

Best For: Keeping rivals at bay

AuctionAds

What it does: Delivers ads that feature random items being auctioned on eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY)

What’s cool: If you don’t compete with eBay sellers, there’s little chance of undercutting your own sales. With AuctionAds (which is not affiliated with eBay), you get a commission if a visitor from your site ends up buying what the ad is touting. AuctionAds lets you set keywords–like DVDs or automobiles–so you get ads only for items fitting that description. You can also specify that only eBay items in a certain price range get shown in the ads.

Drawbacks: You get paid only if visitors buy something on eBay after clicking on your ad (unless they sign up for eBay–see below).

What It pays: You get about half of the fee sellers shell out to eBay, which is typically from 3 percent to 4 percent of the sale price. You can also collect about $25 if someone who clicks on your ad registers for the first time at eBay and bids on an auction within 30 days.

Best For: Promoting ancillary products

Chitika eMiniMalls

What It Does: Serves up image ads that hawk consumer products. Each ad contains up to four products as well as a short description, pricing, and links to retailers.

What’s cool: The ads are relatively slick, and you get to decide what sorts of things are in them by choosing from 45 categories of stuff. A travel agency, for example, could promote products–such as digital cameras and camcorders–that its customers could use on their trips. The ads are available in 15 sizes.

Drawbacks: If you make or sell products, especially electronics, the items in Chitika’s ads might compete with yours. And the ads allow visitors to preview information about the products without clicking on the ad.

What it pays: From 20 cents to $2 per click, depending on the product

Best For: Keeping visitors on your site

Vizu Answers

What it does: Conducts market research by placing polls on websites. You get paid when visitors see a poll on your site.

What’s cool: You control the look of the polls and can customize them to fit into your site’s design. Plus, you can designate different polls for different parts of your site. The poll questions aren’t controversial, because they are related to market research, but if you object to the content in a poll, Vizu will remove it immediately. Best of all, poll takers never leave your site while they are answering questions.

Drawbacks: Research demand drives the placement of polls. Only sites with desirable demographics and a high participation rate will get the top fees.

What it pays: For every 1,000 people who view the poll on your site, you get from 50 cents to $10.

Best For: Displaying banner ads

ValueClick

What it does: Offers banner ads from national advertisers

What’s cool: ValueClick has one of the largest pools of marketers and serves up ads for well-known brands, such as Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and eBay, that probably don’t compete with your company. You can also approve or ban specific ads to control exactly what appears on your site. ValueClick also offers a separate service called Commission Junction, which pays small commissions every time clicks from your ads lead to a certain action, such as a purchase or filling out a form.

Drawbacks: The banner ads often feature video and other flashing graphics, which may distract visitors or tarnish your site’s design.

What it pays: From 25 cents to $2 for every 1,000 people who see the ads
