How can you monetize your website? If you have no idea, Social Bar’s ad solution can help! It’s one of the best ways to earn additional income from your site. Here’s how it works…
Working hard on a website, but not seeing any returns? Social bar ads from adsterra allow you to monetize your site and make money from it. The more people who visit your page, click on your ads, and engage with your content, means you will earn more money.
What are Social Bar Ads?
Using social bar ads on your website is a great way to increase your ad revenue. Adsterra monetization ads only appear when you want them to, and users can interact with them just like they would any other piece of content on your site. These social ads allow readers to tweet, recommend, or +1 content without leaving your site, giving you more chances to attract and engage new readers.
It includes sharing buttons for all major social networks (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), as well as sharing buttons for some of adsterra’s partner sites (Buzzfeed, Huffpost). A user visiting your site can click these buttons to share an interesting post they found or something they enjoyed reading. When someone shares your content through one of these social bars, you earn a certain amount of credits per interaction depending on what network is used.
Why use adsterra social ads?
The Adsterra social bar, which is one of many in a growing market of native-content ad placements, has been growing in popularity because it helps you maximize your revenue from traffic sources by finding where your audience is going and placing ads where they’re clicking. More important for smaller publishers, though, is that monetization doesn’t require special relationships or lengthy contracts.
Just choose your template and set it up on your site with just a few clicks—and let Adsterra take care of getting paid. Although you can earn less per click than some other advertising types such as Google AdSense, if you have a high volume of unique visiting regularly, it can easily make up for it!
Examples
Once you’re signed up and installed, there are a few very simple steps to getting your social bar live on your website. Getting started is a breeze, even if you’ve never added an advertising tool to your site. Here’s what you need to do:
1) Install Adsterra Script (easily done via FTP);
2) Enter Account ID in html;
3) Copy the ad code and paste it on the web page.
The value of links as a business asset has been well documented over time. As search engines become more sophisticated and user-friendly, it becomes increasingly important for businesses to build their link portfolio. However, not all links are created equal – some can have negative effects on your search engine rankings while others can be beneficial or neutral.
Social Bar ads pricing
As mentioned, there’s a 30-day free trial. This is a relatively long period of time to get acquainted with all of Adsterra’s features, so you can set up campaigns and test them out before you begin paying anything. However, after your trial ends, pricing ranges from $49 for a basic package to $799 for an enterprise solution.
These price tags are only if you pay monthly—if you commit to an annual plan, though, then prices range from $29 per month to $599 per month. When compared to other services like Taboola or Revcontent (or even Facebook ads), Adsterra definitely has one of the cheaper packages on offer. Adsterra monetizes through two different channels: social bar links and content links.
The former allows advertisers to create custom tabs that users can add to their site in order to generate revenue; these tabs include things like surveys, polls, games, and more. With content links, advertisers are able to place sponsored content at specific intervals throughout any website they choose; it’s similar in function to Google AdSense but without requiring publishers to display any banners or widgets on their sites.
Setup and installation
In order to monetize your website, you need to install Social Bar’s tracking code. It’s a one-time process and it involves adding a piece of JavaScript code to each web page on your website that contains third-party links. Once that is done, setting up an ad campaign is as simple as browsing through ads and selecting which ones you want to show on your site. This can be done for free, but if you have multiple websites or are looking for more control over ad placement then paid plans to offer greater options. The free option can still get you started though so there is no reason not to try it out!
