Add some shine to your AdBrite ads with AdShine
What is this?
AdBrite is the Internet's Ad Marketplace - it gives webmasters the opportunity to monetize their ad space amazingly easily. It's a great alternative to Google's AdSense. If you haven't tried their services,
sign up and come back later.
Whoa, we just got rid of newbies :). So, as an experienced AdBrite publisher, you probably know that Adbrite is an excellent service with some annoying issues. For example, AdBrite ads cannot be customized that much - even if you set all the CSS settings, your ad still looks like an AdBrite ad... Or the speed problems: sometimes AdBrite ads are appearing very slowly, slowing down your site to an unacceptable speed.
AdShine, this short JavaScript/CSS code addresses these problems: it expands AdBrite's CSS capabilities and doesn't stop your site when the AdBrite servers are slowing down.
Example
Let's see how it looks:
Move over your mouse the ads! It may sound funny but this little modification increased my revenues by more than 50%. And people can still use my site if there are problems with the AdBrite servers.
I want this!
If you want to give AdShine a try, just download this example file:
adshine.zip (2k)
Unpack the zip and load the file readme.html to your browser. You will need some HTML experience to put it to your site, but it's not that hard.
Disclaimer
As far as I know, AdBrite allows these modifications. I've been using the script for months without any problem. However, if you decide to install it on your site, you have to do it at your own risk. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at
