Well, going to AdToll, I see a pretty appealing page. It's got some easy to find and read buttons, to wherever you need to go. You can choose to peruse the examples of Premium Publisher Site's, or you can move on to look at blog entries or search for a place to put your ads.

 

At the top, you find a spot to check things out, in various roles: Publisher, and Advertiser. Publishers being those that wish to have adtoll ads on their site, and an advertiser is one who wishes to put one of their ads, on someone elses site to attract some traffic.

 

When you click the small, "Create and Account" link at the top, you'll find a very well laid out registry page. The first, and definitely most important choice, is whether or not you are an advertiser, publisher, or both. I am both... and thus chose the "Advertiser and Publisher" radio button. Moving down the list you enter your name, email and other contact information that adtoll may require to get into contact with you. The "Other Details section is optional, however out of courtesy, I filled it in, entering other forum, and the various information required in this small section.

 

You can subscribe to their blog via e-mail, but that's a totally personalized choice. I did, but that's just me. You HAVE to accept their ToS and other policies, obviously.

 

Enter a password, confirm it, and "Create Account". Now, I've already got an account, so I cannot walk you through what goes on, but if my memory serves, you can continue shopping for adspace, which is nice. Check your e-mail though, as they do like to send you e-mails to update you on the status of your account and other such USEFUL e-mails. Not spam mail, useful stuff.

 

Once in the "My Account" section, (button at top of page) you can view your ad information. Ads you have paid to have put on someone else's section (As an advertiser) will be in the "My Sponsored Ads" section, and any sites that you have put adtoll on for purposes of your own, will be in the "My Sites" section.

 

The overall appearance of this page is very nice, easy to read, and VERY easy to understand. You do have some other useful functions, which are divided according to what role you are playing. You have an Advertiser section for anyone that is Advertiser (Or both), and you have a Publisher section for anyone that's Publisher (or both). Each of these sections has some useful links. We'll use the advertiser section because most people on the net want to advertise their sites before they have adverts ON their sites.

 

There's two options, Buy a Sponsored Ad (Buy adspace on a specific site), or Buy a Run Of Network Ad (Pay to have your ad on all sites that use adtoll in your categories etc) We'll click the sponsored ad, and come back to the run of network.

In the Buy a Sponsored Ad page, you see some useful things. Choices to narrow your search, which really do narrow it a lot. First and foremost, adult sites, non adult sites, or all. You can also choose the ad format, (ie. Text ad, Full BBanner 468x60 etc) and the language of the site you want to advertise on. There are also categories to choose from, such as Automotive, New Sites, Business & Finance etc. I'm going to check out the Automotive category, even though the page is defaulted to all.

So far, everything has been exceptionally put together, with a nice color scheme and a generally attractive layout. Well done for getting this far, and it seems they only go further with their good theming.

 

Well, the form is exquisite (Form being look/appearance), and the function is just as pristine.

 

RATES: You will find that rates are hugely varied, based on site traffic and how often ads are clicked. If you want a cheaper ad, find a site that's got less clicks/views, while if you can spend a pretty penny on some ads, you'll get considerably more traffic through the higher traffic websites.

 

There are some really neat features, including the RATE CARDS, which show up-to-date information on the pricing of a site's various ads.

VERDICT: AdToll is really well put-together, and you can probably find a site to advertise anything on. There are many good things about adtoll, even for publishers.

 

VISUAL RATING: I'd give this a solid 4/5, yes it's beautiful but there is a LOT of white.

FUNCTIONALITY RATING: This site gets a clear out 5/5 for functionality, it has too many nifty tricks and some really nice added benefits for being a member that lets you see things in a wide variety of forms.

 

I highly recommend AdToll as a publisher, and if you can't seem to find places to advertise, you'll probably find one here, for a fair price.

On the Advertiser side: You get much better demographics and statistics where your ads are being placed.

They also offer some nice geographical data not just on traffic but clicks. AND its not like some bullshit Alexa stat.

Here is a advertiser with some data to show you what I am talking about:

Here is what a order page looks like when you goto it.

Some other interesting things. You can use AdToll for sites that normally you could not use competitors for. Like poker/gambling/porn/adult. Both as a advertiser and publisher. If you do not want those ads on your sites you just do not approve them.

I look for good things from this company and I am already happy with the results and service from them.

From using AdToll as an advertiser, I must say..very impressive.

A lot of views & clicks when on a network ad.

Sponsored ads are great too, as you can select from a wide range of various sites where you want your ad placed.

Just ordered one for yuwie, and currently running 2 network ads plus 2 sponsored ads on CE.

Re: Adtoll review by Vorlen

Well I just purchased several ads and wow, nice extra option for advertisers

This option is much easier than creating ref IDs for each different ad you buy on the net.

Goal tracking

To set up Goal Tracking for this Ad Booking, copy the following code exactly as shown, do not modify it.

Paste it into the body of the HTML of a web page on your website that a visitor can only access if they perform an action that meets your defined goal.

For example, if your goal is to obtain a purchase from your site you would place the code on your "receipt" or "thankyou for your purchase" page. If your goal is to have the visitor sign up to your newsletter, place the code on the "subscription confirmed page" that a subscriber would see immediately after submitting their details.

Once the Goal Tracking code is in place and your webpage has been accessed, we will report your Goal Tracking statistics on the Ad Statistics page. Statistics include the number of conversions, the conversion rate and cost per conversion.

The tracking cookie we use to track conversions is valid for 7 days and due to this you should keep the code on your site for 7 days prior to your campaign ending.
