$100 CPC ad over at AvnAds

Posted by Simon on July 28th, 2007 in AdBrite | No Comments

This is crazy. An AvnAds (AdBrite’s sister site) publishers have reported a $100 CPC ad. Yes, you heard right. That’s unbelievable $100, per click.

$100 CPC Text Ad

I am not 100% sure about what kind of revenue share AvnAds has but if it’s similar to AdBrite’s revenue share the CPC price should be 70% for the publisher and 30% to AvnAds. So if not my math skills are completely whacked the publisher would get $70 from every click he generates.

Don’t trust me? Check out the screenshot taken by the publisher himself.

The ad has soon been running over 2 days on AvnAds and it doesn’t seem to be an error in the AvnAds system. Maybe the advertiser has misspelled the amount? What do you think?

Fujitsu claims world’s most energy efficient server

Posted by Simon on July 17th, 2007 in Webhosting | No Comments

Primergy TX120

Fujitsu Siemens Computers says that their brand new tower server Primergy TX120 is the most energy efficient server in the world. Primergy TX120 is said to consume 40% less energy than conventional tower servers. The Primergy TX120 is also one-third the size and makes half the noise (producing 28dB while idling and 31dB in operation).

TX120 uses a redesigned heat pipe air cooling system. Although previous systems have used heat pipe cooling, reducing the size of the unit required a new component alignment strategy. In the TX120 all heat producing components, CPU, chipsets, etc, are strictly aligned along a linear heat pipe. Two small temperature controlled fans also sit either side of the pipe in a push-pull arrangement. Another benefit of the heat pipe is it enables the user to choose either vertical or horizontal server installation. Unlike water cooling used in some small servers, heat pipe provides similar quiet operation, requires fewer components, and with no potential leakage problems is more reliable.

According to Fujitsu Siemens Computers the use of TX120 instead of a larger tower server can reduce CO2 emissions by the equivalent of planting 31 cedar trees per year.

AdBrite’s Revenue Share

Posted by Simon on July 5th, 2007 in AdBrite | No Comments

If you browse the AdBrite Forum you will often stumble upon topics that talks about the revenue share between its publishers and AdBrite themselves. But what is this “revenue share” then? It’s simply what AdBrite and you as a publisher get for every click generated. Yes, AdBrite also get money for the clicks your site or blog generates. They must be paid in some way for offering this service.

It seems that most people think that the revenue share is 75% for publishers and 25% for AdBrite. But that is not correct. The revenue share is actually 70% for publishers (you) and 30% for AdBrite. That means that if a visitor clicks on a CPC text ad that is worth $0.25 you will get 70% of that and AdBrite will get the other 30%.
