Good news for all my reader,now Adgridwork just launched its new service to help bloggers to promote their sites by advertising on other websites through content targeted ads. You know Google Adwords advertising? It's definitely same but this service is FREE, you don't have to pay to serve content targeted ads on other websites. Is this interesting?Woo....
We want to create a community of businesses, blogs and start ups that all need to advertise their product without spending a dime! And how will we pull this off? Sharing. Its simple, we will serve your ads on targeted and related websites, if you in turn display ads for other users. Think about it as old-school Banner Exchange with a middle-man (us) to take care of the ad serving, coding, metrics, and other technical stuff. Better yet, think BitTorrent for ad distribution: You serve ads for other users and they serve them for you. - adGridWork
What is content targeted ads?
Content targeted ads means ads that are only shown on the websites where have the similar related keywords to your ads. First, the adGridWork system will analyse the website which is going to show ads with keyword density. If the keyword of the website suits your ads keyword, you ads will be shown on that website.I have try it on my old blog,it's very easy!
This is the example ads shown by adGridWork. You can click on it to enlarge it. But, now, adGridWork only offers 7 different ads layout such as 800X90, 600X90, 400X90, 200X90, 200X360, 200X270, and 200X180. According to adGridWork, there will be more ads layout coming out soon.

Nick from adgridwork.com. Thanks for the kind words on our site! We love hearing feedback from the community as they are the ones we have designed this service to help. I wanted to clear up a few things that I read in your post:
Con
2.Cannot customize the ads color.
You actually can customize the ad color. In your Ad Code, you will see six variables =
var title_color = '000000';
var description_color = '646360';
var link_color = '7FBE00';
var background_color = 'ffffff';
var border_color = 'dddddd';
var body_color = 'ffffff';
You can change all the colors of these variables and they will in turn change the color of your ad!
We are working on a cool color selector (like Google's Adsense does) but until then, you have to edit it like this (trust us, its really easy :)
3.Not many website join this program yet since it just started for 3months!
Actually, we have only been running for 4 days :) We launched on December 1 and were Dugg through the roof on December 2. So far we have over 500 registered users and 400 sites on the network so your site will receive good exposure if you sign up early.
Anyways, glad you like the service and thanks again for the review.

Thanks nick for drop by and the adjustment of my mistake,i have correct it and wish adgridwork.com will be popular soon.(Don't Forget me o)!I have already register it for my old site.(Since that site not high traffic,then you for testing purpose)
Yes buddy,this ads is against TOS,so i would recommend it for new blogger and low traffic site only,if you wish to use it,remove your adsense(i think you won't remove it,hehe!!^^).
"Competitive Ads and Services
"We do not permit Google ads or search boxes accessing Google search
services to be published on web pages that also contain what could be
considered competing ads or services. If you have elected to receive
contextually-targeted Google ads, this would include all other
contextually-targeted ads or links on the same page as Google ads. This
would also include ads throughout the site that mimic Google ads or
otherwise appear to be associated with Google on your site. Although
you may sell ads directly on your site, it is your responsibility to
ensure these ads do not mimic Google ads. If you have elected to
receive Google search services, this would include other search
services on the same site and non-Google query-targeted ads. We do
allow affiliate or limited-text links."
I not really understand by this sentence,would it's mean adgridwork may display with adsense?
Nick here from adgridwork again. Just wanted to let you know that we just released an update this morning that will allow you to use adgridwork in conjunction with Google AdSense (and other advertising services as well)! When you create/edit a site, you can now specify whether you will be displaying adgridwork ads alongside Adsense ads. If you select this option, we will turn off the contextual targeting for your website. Your site will still be displayed on other related sites, but you know are only serving random (NOT TARGETED) ads on your own site! A nice loophole in the Adsense Policy :)
We hope you like the service and best of luck with your ad campaigns!
