Google revolutionized internet advertising with AdWords and AdSense. I was totally surprised to be referred to AdGridWork from Bloggingtips, which provide almost the same service as Google’s contextually targeted advertising for 1 penny per click. No! It is totally free!

Reported on May 24, 2007, AdGridwork has served over 36,236,221 impressions across 12,699,005 page views. Their network currently consists of 2,657 unique websites and is growing daily.

Back in November 2006, two young men suddenly thought of creating a free, open advertising network and allow bloggers, small businesses and other website owners to submit their ads into their ad network. It will be a mutual benefit between the advertiser and publisher, except the middle man (AdGridWork) didn’t charge any commission for building the platform. This is a marvelous idea. I really need to salute the founder Nick Mazza and Kyle Johnson for their effort. The end result would be a giant community of websites that would all help one another promote and market their products, ideas and service for free!

Since the founders don’t intend to monetize their service, the benefits are spread equally among the advertiser and publisher. Users should take their advertising campaigns seriously (as opposed to just slapping the Ad Code on some hidden page where visitors won’t see it), AdGridWork established a Merit-Based Ranking System. The idea is simple: Sites that generate higher numbers of ad clicks will be displayed more on other sites.

Take a look at my site’s Campaign Metrics after one day I joined the network.
