Blogertize is a network for bloggers who want to make money by getting low cost traffic. Google Adwords is not a great program for budding bloggers because of its cost. If you do not have a great plan to monetize your blog or website, it is not a good idea to get into advertizing on Google Adwords. This is the USP of Blogertize. They are providing a low cost advertizing alternative to the blogging world, with a fixed price ads which cost as low as $5 a year.

This means that your ads will have viewers and you can expect real traffic, which is all that matters after all.
With over a thousand members, Blogertize is going strong. They are running a beta and the ads are not yet visible. They will be opening the site for public view on May 31st, 2009. They are accepting members and have a very few pixels left in almost all the categories. They have sold almost half of their inventory and will not be long before they are done with the rest.

There are various Advertising Exchanges, places where you can signup and get Ad Code, to publish on your website. For example, Google with their Google Adsense program, Adbrite,
/* , WidgetBucks etc but BidVertiser seems to be the best. Google, being the most profitable program, has its own problems. Google is very harsh on publishers due to its ‘click-fraud’ policy. Your competitors may click-bomb your site and you will be punished with your Google Adsense account being disabled. If you can avoid that, no doubt Google Adsense is a wonderful program.
Not to forget that each of the other programs mentioned here have their own benefits. They are all serving a different purpose, like WidgetBucks has partnered with shopping sites and it displays product listings, relevant to context.

It does mean a value add for your visitors and more money for you!
BidVertiser is a different type of network. It is simple, requires least intervention and is almost automated.
