eAds

General Features

• eAds is short for for Electronic advertisements
• This program is one of the oldest programs on the web. I've known about this program for several years.
• Attempts to target audience by categorizing your site
• Choose the ad that you want to place - however, eAds will be able to change these ads as the advertisers change. You have the option of choosing among 4-5 different advertisers.
• Banners are pulled from the eAds server.
• May put up to three banners per page (as I was told by eAds by e-mail)

Payouts

• Five cents per click
• Must accumulate $10.00 or more (US dollars) before payout
• Paid Monthly

Limitations/drawbacks

• Lacks real time reporting of your earnings (which are displayed on the third of every month).
• The placement of three or more banners next to each other on the same page is not allowed.
• Need to wait over one week (about 10 days) before eAds approves your site.
• Your web site may be limited to the initial category in which you've described it. I've tried to add more categories by e-mailing them several times; however, I keep getting an automatically generated response which has nothing to do with my request to add more categories to my web site. However, eAds claims that it is possible to add categories.
• They arbitrarily assign you a account number and password which is hard to remember.
• Need to modify the cut and paste code to reflect your membership number

Payouts

• Starting April 15, 1988, they will pay 10 cents per click
• Currently clicks start at six cents a click.
• All hosts are paid once a month.
• No checks will be disbursed for an amount less than $50. If the money owed to the host is less than $50, the amount will be added to the next months total.

Limitations/Drawbacks

• Unique Visitors. A "unique visitor" is defined as a maximum of one visit from any IP address per twelve-hour period to each sponsor's website. Host sites will be paid for unique visitors only.
• Only place one of their banners per page.
• Slower to load (banners) than eAds, but this is not unbearable.
