I have finally decided to join Bidvertiser, an online advertising program for both advertisers and publishers. Because I think it is a good deal, besides, it’s compliance with Google AdSense, so there is nothing to lose, but more to gain. All you need is not to display similar ADs as Goole AdSense.

Some people argue that Bidvertiser do not have high paying keywords and etc. I find that funny because most of the keywords and niche you are in, perhaps you might find it very cheap then realising your niche has too many contents spamming around already. However, all those top earner sites have bidvertiser ads display even though they would say, their pay is low. To be honest, I have no idea.

For example, It is very painful to have ads on my site, because nowadays everyone is using making money online as a key-phrase and half the time, most sites will ask you to sign up, force and tell you to buy or resell. Therefore, ads around money making online become cheap keywords and perhaps used by more publishers than more advertisers. You only need to find the real deal out of it. As for myself, I found some useful sites by using “making money online” key-phrase, but most of them are useless to me too.

Ok, here are the reasons why I choose bidvertiser.


  1. FREE to join
  2. Fast Paid Amount ($10 for paypal, $50 for check)
  3. Money can be used as advertiser, referrer or publisher).Can be advertiser, referrer and/or publisher at the same time.
  4. Very easy to choose, setup and configure.
  5. Comprehensive tools and help.
  6. Great customer relationship
  7. Variety types of Ads
  8. PPC (pay-per-click based, meaning, you get paid every time it gets clicked legitimately, no need to wait for completion of sales you refer or person you refer, one click creates sudden earning)
  9. Great control of click fraud.
  10. All of the above knowledge I have done in just a couple of hours. Exactly, two hours and all set and done for me. Very easy to setup and great pay.

Even in my category which has more publisher than advertisers, I can see there are some clicks worth over $7 per click, which is pretty impressive, if you have solid traffic and fantastic content, I am sure you will get that kind of click more often. So, you can either become Advertiser, Publisher, and Referrer at the same time. Become one or all of them, and start making money.

As a advertiser, you can have two types,

A dedicated hosting service, dedicated server, or managed hosting service is a type of Internet hosting in which the client leases an entire server not shared with anyone. This is more flexible than shared hosting, as organizations have full control over the server(s), including choice of operating system, hardware, etc. Server administration can usually be provided by the hosting company as an add-on service. In some cases a dedicated server can offer less overhead and a larger return on investment. Dedicated servers are most often housed in data centers, similar to colocation facilities, providing redundant powerHVAC systems. In contrast to collocation, the server hardware is owned by the provider and in some cases they will provide support for your operating system or applications.


Operating system support

Availability, price and employee familiarity often determines which operating systems are offered on dedicated servers. Variations of Linux (open source operating systems) are often included at no charge to the customer. Commercial operating systems include Microsoft Windows Server, provided through a special program called Microsoft SPLA. Red Hat Enterprise is a commercial version of Linux offered to hosting providers on a monthly fee basis. The monthly fee provides OS updates through the Red Hat Network using an application called up2date. Other operating systems are available from the open source community at no charge. These include CentOS, Fedora Core, Debian, and many other Linux distributions or BSD systems FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD.

Support for any of these operating systems typically depends on the level of management offered with a particular dedicated server plan. Operating system support may include updates to the core system in order to acquire the latest security fixes, patches, and system-wide vulnerability resolutions. Updates to core operating systems include kernel upgrades, service packs, application updates, and security patches that keep server secure and safe. Operating system updates and support relieves the burden of server management from the dedicated server owner.

Bandwidth and connectivity

Bandwidth refers to the data transfer rate or the amount of data that can be carried from one point to another in a given time period (usually a second) and is often represented in bits (of data) per second (bit/s). For example, visitors to your server, web site, or applications utilize bandwidth as the traffic moves from your server to the Internet and vice versa. Connectivity refers to the “access providers” that supply bandwidth, or data transfer rate, through various connection points across a network or footprint to one or multiple data centers where dedicated servers are housed.

Bandwidth measurements are defined (per telecom standards) as the following:

  • First – 95th (measured using average bits and speed of transfer)
  • Second – Unmetered (measured in speed or bits)
  • Third – Total Transfer (measured in bytes transferred)

95th Method: line speed, billed on the 95th percentile, average or peak usage, refers to the speed in which data flows from the server or device. Line speed is measured in bits per second (or kilobits per second, megabits per second or gigabits per second).

Unmetered Method: The second bandwidth measurement is unmetered service where providers cap or control the “top line” speed for a server. Top line speed in unmetered bandwidth is the total Mbit/s allocated to the server and configured on the switch level. For example, if you purchase 10 Mbit/s unmetered bandwidth, the top line speed would be 10 Mbit/s. 10 Mbit/s would result in the provider controlling the speed transfers take place while providing the ability for the dedicated server owner to not be charged with bandwidth overages. Unmetered bandwidth services usually incur an additional charge.

Total Transfer Method: Some providers will calculate the Total Transfer, the measurement of actual data leaving and arriving, measured in bytes. Measurement between providers varies and includes one of the following equations:

  • Method 1: IN TRAFFIC + OUT TRAFFIC = TOTAL TRANSFER
  • Method 2: IN TRAFFIC = TOTAL TRANSFER
  • Method 3: OUT TRAFFIC = TOTAL TRANSFER

One of the reasons for choosing to outsource dedicated servers is the availability of high powered networks from multiple providers. As dedicated server providers utilize massive amounts of bandwidth, they are able to secure lower volume based pricing to include a multi-provider blend of bandwidth. To achieve the same type of network without a multi-provider blend of bandwidth, a large investment in core routers, long term contracts, and expensive monthly bills would need to be in place. The expenses needed to develop a network without a multi-provider blend of bandwidth does not make sense economically for hosting providers.

Many dedicated server providers include a service level agreement based on networkmulti-homed across multiple quality uplink providers, which in turn, provides significant redundancy in the event one goes down in addition to potentially improved routes to destinations. uptime. Some dedicated server hosting providers offer a 100% uptime guarantee on their network. By securing multiple vendors for connectivity and using redundant hardware, providers are able to guarantee higher uptimes; usually between 99-100% uptime if they are a higher quality provider. One aspect of higher quality providers is they are most likely to be

Bandwidth consumption over the last several years has shifted from a per megabit usage model to a per gigabyte usage model. Bandwidth was traditionally measured in line speed access that included the ability to purchase needed megabits at a given monthly cost. As the shared hosting model developed, the trend towards gigabyte or total bytes transferred, replaced the megabit line speed model so dedicated server providers started offering per gigabyte.

Prominent players in the dedicated server market offer large amounts of bandwidth ranging from 500 gigabytes to 3000 gigabytes using the “overselling” model. It is not uncommon for major players to provide dedicated servers with 1Terabyte (TB) of bandwidth or higher. Usage models based on the byte level measurement usually include a given amount of bandwidth with each server and a price per gigabyte after a certain threshold has been reached. Expect to pay additional fees for bandwidth overage usage. For example, if a dedicated server has been given 3000 gigabytes of bandwidth per month and the customer uses 5000 gigabytes of bandwidth within the billing period, the additional 2000 gigabytes of bandwidth will be invoiced as bandwidth overage. Each provider has a different model for billing. As of yet, no industry standards have been set.

At the very top of the forex market are transactions which are collectively called Interbank transactions. The “Interbank” is not, as some people may believe, an exchange. Rather, it is a collection or compilation of agreements between and among the major money center banks in the world.

An example may make it easier to understand this thing we’re calling the “Interbank” market. In most larger offices or business, perhaps even in your own home, there may be several computers which are inter-connected by means of a simple network cable. Now, each computer operates independently until the moment it needs a resource, program or file from one of the other computers. When that happens, computer A will contact computer B (or C or D, etc.) and request permission to access the needed resource. If the owner or operator of Computer B authorizes it, and if Computer B is functioning the way it should be, then the needed file or program can be accessed. Within minutes, Computer A’s request is fulfilled. It works the same way in the forex market; just substitute Computer A and Computer B for Bank A and Bank B and let resources substitute for currency. You now have the machinations for the relationships that exist within the Interbank system.

By the same context, if you’ve ever tried to locate resources from a computer that isn’t united by a computer network, you probably know full well what a time consuming, inefficient, sometimes futile effort it can be. You have to search each and every independent computer until you’ve found your resource, copy it and then download it to your own computer. Regarding prices and forex currency inventory, the same issue exists within the Interbank market system. If a bank in Taiwan occasionally transacts business with a firm in Sao Paula they need to exchange their currency. In this case, it can be quite difficult to determine what the proper exchange rate between the New Taiwan Dollar and the Brazilian Real should be. Because of situations such as this, the Electronic Broking Service (EBS) and Reuters established their services. For simplicity, we’ll refer to this service as ESB.

In a way, the EBS service acts as a blanket over the Interbank communication links. Through the EBS service, Interbank members are able to see how much currency trading is available, and the price(s) the other Interbank participants are willing to pay. It’s important to understand that the EBS is not in itself a market nor is it a market maker. The EBS system is merely an application allowing bank members to see offers and bids from the other members.

The forex market’s second tier essentially exists within each individual bank. If you were to call your local Citibank branch, they can arrange for you to exchange your U.S. Dollar for the foreign currency of your choosing. In all probability, they will likely just move the desired currency from one bank branch to another one. This is known as a single party micro-exchange, so you are pretty much at their mercy as it applies to the foreign exchange rate you’re quoted. You can either accept their “kind” offer or shop around for a better rate. Anyone who trades in the forex market should consider paying their bank a visit, at least once, to have an idea of their quotes. Certainly, it will be very “enlightening,” if not downright shocking, to see just how profitable these transactions are… for your bank.

Looking for the best intraday FOREX trading strategies? In the foreign exchange market, things move around quite fast. If you want a hand in this, then you must learn to be very precise in choosing your trades. This is a trillion dollar industry that works around the clock, so there is quite an amount of opportunity for the right investor. If you are targeting to do intraday trading, then you must take a look at a few strategies that just might work well for you.

The asking for bids in the foreign exchange market happens in a very short window until the next bid. Usually, the FOREX market will allow a minimum of three pips or percentage in points. You have to be prepared if you are hoping to make something at the end of the day. For each currency pair, there is a wide range of opportunities that are at hand. Try to target fast moving currencies and research on fundamental and technical conditions before initiating a trade.

Be aware that the foreign exchange market does not carry any centralized exchange for trading, which means that pertinent information needed by traders, such as volume and open interest will not be available to them. They have to rely on other fundamental and technical data to be able to make a good trade. Interbank traders, however, have the advantage of seeing the order book at a specific workplace. This is why retail traders have to move faster if they want to be ahead of interbank traders.

Due to the insufficient volume of trades done by intraday traders, whatever investment they pursue will really not have that much effect on the whole market, unlike with larger institutions, such as banks or large financial firms. After all, they have the best intraday FOREX trading strategies.
