About Us - Bidswamp

What is Bidswamp?

The Bidswamp marketplace is all about buying and selling Ad Space directly.

We are NOT an ad network. We are a fully transparent open auction website for Ad Space.

Our site provides a medium for advertisers and site owners to DIRECTLY interact and transact.

Site owners list their available Ad Space, describe their site and stipulate the type of advertisements which are acceptable. Advertisers can evaluate and compare the Seller’s website and advertising space prior to making any commitment.

Our website is aimed at helping small/medium sized websites and businesses.

An intriguing marketing solution!

In the online world, there are three ways to buy ad space: (1) automated placements through an ad network, search engine or internet portal (2) finding appropriate websites and negotiating directly with them yourself or (3) employing an ad agency.

Ad networks, search engines and web portals use automated systems to automatically place your ad and cannot provide the level of attention as a human. You have limited control over when and where your ads will be displayed.

Alternatively, you can use the professional services of an ad agency to find highly targeted ad space for you, at a cost. However, if your budget is limited, you can perform this task yourself.

The benefits of finding ad space yourself are enormous. Not only can you find and negotiate some bargains, you have the ability to locate websites with related content based on your knowledge of your target market. Visitors from such websites are highly targeted and prequalified.

This is exactly what Bidswamp is designed for. Those small to medium businesses who wish to find quality ad space themselves at a reasonable price. We simply make this process easier.

As a direct buyer of ad space, there’s no more looking around countless websites and writing endless emails. It’s available here, all in one place.

At Bidswamp you choose where your viewers come from, allowing you to expand your marketing strategy and possibilities. Best of all, you control how much you pay for each specific ad space after determining its worth.
