Publisher Spot is the brainchild of Tyler Cruz. It claims to give “professional reviews of ad networks.” But does it live up to its promise? Let’s find out.

Design

The design is looks professional. It’s got a nice logo and attractive graphics.

The first thing you’ll notice is news section above the fold. This section gives the latest updates of the site. I don’t have anything against a news section. It’s a good thing to have. However, for a review site, it shouldn’t have the prime location. I would put it below the fold.

What should be above the fold then? The most important content. And Tyler’s most important content is definitely his reviews. So, I would stick a review where the news section is. He could even highlight a different ad network every month or week to keep the front page fresh.

Content Quality

I was impressed with the quality of the content. The reviews are lengthy and cover a lot of relevant information. Here is some of that information:

• Features
• Sign Up Process
• Ad Formats
• Control Panel
• Payment
• Customer support

As you can see, Tyler’s staff did their homework.

I particularly like the customer support section of the reviews. Tyler’s staff tests the customer support of the ad networks. In the Bidvertiser review, they called Bidvertiser customer support. In the PayPerPost review, they interacted in the PerPerPost customer support forum. In the AdSense review, they emailed AdSense with support questions.

Miscellaneous

Tyler should add an RSS feed and email newsletter to notify people whenever he reviews a new ad network.

There are no ads, which is awesome for the visitor experience. This is also a good monetization strategy because Publisher Spot is an affiliate site. Ads can distract the visitor from the main goal, getting an affiliate sale through an affiliate link. Also, Tyler masks his affiliate links with clean URLs, which adds even more value to the user experience.

As of this post, Tyler has 19 reviews with more to come. His reviews include well-known and reputable networks like Google AdSense, Auction Ads, Kontera, PayPerPost, Text Link Ads, and ReviewMe. I’m surprised Yahoo Publisher Network didn’t make the list. I would review them next.

You can rate the different ad networks in their respective reviews.

Publisher Spot has a good search feature. In the basic search, you can search by rating and category. The advanced search function allows more search options including payment methods, ad types, and ad sizes.

Conclusion

All in all, if you’re thinking about joining an ad network, I recommend reading the Publisher Spot review of the network. Publisher Spot is a great place to learn more about the different ad networks. It has some small issues that I’ve talked about, but its content is excellent. The reviews are useful and comprehensive.
