Why I'm not using Adsense?
First because I think they pay you less then %1 from the total bid. That's mean if you have less then 20 million page views per month. And all the other pay per click affiliate program out there is giving you 50% and up but thier bidprice is so bad that it wont metter - you will still get the same as adsense or even worse.

And second because my users see its Google and run away. They are beeing fooled everywhere.
Now I use Adpoint and Exitpoint from Targetpoint and I must say that my website revenue after a week has increased. What shoud I say? They gave me the most relevant ads to the content of my site, but also the most profitable ads overall for my site categories. They say they benefit from the HTcheck technology(the best content recognition engine available today) to receive the best matching ads to each of your pages... Maybe they are right. I am very satisfyed with the Targetpoint back-office. They provides me very detailed reports with information regarding click activity by category, cost, rank and time.

What are the most important things in today's efficient advertising?
1. unique layouts and designs: in 1997 you would probably got more then 50% CTR on your banners. Today people see sponsored links or Ads by goooooogle and their eyes move automatically to other direction.This program - targetpoint is giving you full control over the design - i like it and it's work.
2. reports reports reports!!! This is important for all sort of advertising that you place on your site. With targetpoint publisher's program you can view and learn what design works better on what page in what category - all of this sorted by clicks / impressions ecpm and ctr.
you view - learn - change - better performance.
3. BID PRICES - thats the most important thing!!! I don't know why i just mantion it here but if you read until here you probebly don't care.
On one of my site (i have 35 working sites): f1central.net, adsense gave me an avarage bidprice of 7 cents per click. They probebly bill the advertiser for 70 cents with their huge marketplace. Targetpoint gives me an avarage of 40 cents per click and i am very satisfied.
4. relevancy - whats wired is that I found that not always the ctr drops down when you display irelevant ads. But some of your visitors will stop visit your site if you will have too many irelevant text ads on your pages.

I have subscribed to Targetpoint because:
- they dont put there link on the banner as Google and outhers doing
- Exitpoint is a unique option for me to generate money from my exit trafic. And as far as I know no one offer similar product.
- they treat every publisher as a strategic partner

So honestly and experiencially I recommand you to try Targetpoint pay per click affiliate program for your site.
