Thanks for letting us know about Adgridwork’s database errors. Really shows their commitment to the people who could make their business reputable, huh? I haven’t been back to Adgridwork since posting this article and won’t be in the future, there are many other ad networks out there for bloggers that are committed to helping bloggers as much as we help their companies.

Just for those who are thinking of using the AdGridWork site, their site has been down for the last month with database errors. And their ads no longer display (I am assuming due to these errors). I did set up a campaign prior to this but have abandoned it, I have also tried to contact the author to no avail.

Interesting findings. Especially the part that when people are already familiar with your ads and therefore don’t click it. I am personally think of using adgridwork but now I will not consider that.

“they are not seeing your ads because of the amount of times the same, exact set up has been seen on many different websites” !!!
Great idea comes to my mind !
I’ll try to swap content part with ad-slots part.
Ad appearing on the left and posts on the right – will attract users attention just because you wrote above – they will not expect to see ads from the right !

Thanks ! I was about to try adgridwork to get some traffic. But I’ll pass, free is not always good and I’ll have to work slowly and building up quality and get traffic from there.

Just updating everyone on this, because when I did get my data it was contrary to what I thought earlier. I got 160 clicks vs. the 113 my site has sent, but I’ve been using AGW over a long period of time.

If you’ll notice, AdGridwork is giving the ads you have written more impressions than your site generated for them… so my guess is that you might need to work on the wording of your ads to generate more clicks for yourself.

I think that adgridwork can be very useful for us.

I think its important to note that adgridwork came out a year before blogrush. Your post almost makes it sound like adgridwork copied blogrush which is incorrect.

Sounds interesting, but I won’t have ads on my blog. I feel they take away from my blog – I did have paid posting on there, but I removed it and cancelled my account with them because I wasn’t getting enough money from it, and I wasn’t interested enough to keep going.

I think all free advertisement offer is not a very good way for any blogs. If you want a high traffic maybe a free add is not enough. We should search for other way to add our blog. Be creative! it’s ok to start from scratch, don’t have to rush everything.

I’m thinking of taking off the ads from my blog… I’m afraid that it’ll take the fun out of blogging

Thanks for submitting this post, Holly, it’s very interesting! I’d been meaning to take a closer look at my own AdGridwork stats, but I just haven’t had the time. Their site is down now, so I can’t check my own stats , but I think they might be a little better than yours. Not enough to make a real difference though.

I agree that their mission is great, and that they’re probably the best free ad network out there (no paid ads, actually looks nice), but it’s hard enough promoting ads when there’s a monetary incentive. In this light, I understand your reasoning behind decluttering them from your blog.
