Tips For Getting Approved By BuySellAds (BSA)

Every blogger in the blogosphere is aware about BuySellAds. A space which one could not have sold by directly approaching to advertisers, can be sold using BSA. That’s the technique. Four weeks back my blog was approved by BSA. So I thought of sharing some tips and suggestions I got from the site and other fellow bloggers for getting your blog approved by BSA.

This is what Harsh Agarwal of Shout Me Loud feels about BuySellAds,

“I do not need to worry about my ad inventory, neither I need to contact advertisers. All I need to take care of quality of posts and advertisers will find my blog and everything including payment and adding ads are managed by BSA.”

BuySellAds (BSA) will approve your blog only if it has…

  • We are currently focused on the tech / web design / development / freelancer niche. While we do occasionally accept sites outside of this niche, you may be denied if you are not in this niche.
  • Greater than 100K impressions per month (for new sites, if you (or your team) have a history of creating really nice websites we will accept you).
  • Your website must be live, finished, and have fresh content.
  • No porn or anything illegal or containing even remotely “questionable” content.
  • Site must be in English (sorry, we’re just not able to provide support in other languages right now).
  • If you have a ton of untargeted ads on your site already, we’re not going to approve you (you know who you are).
  • If you do not have your own domain (i.e. you have a *.blogspot.com url) we will not approve you.
  • Getting denied does not mean that we will not approve you at a future date.
  • Last, but not least: we’re not trying to be snobby, but we aim to keep the quality of the network high, and if we feel that your site impeedes on the perception of the network we will not approve you.

  1. You are lucky (your blog stats good) they accepted you to their network. I applied 5 times but they rejected my request. It seems the traffic and alexa rank is the main problem for me. My alexa is always above 100k irrespective of what ever I did to improve it.

  2. Hi folks,

    You must check out AdVeler.com we are new but we have come up with a solid idea of assigning every publisher with his own team and they will take care of all your advertising needs. and also they wont be paid till they bring advertisers to you’re door….and for all this you don’t have to pay quarter of you’re income we just charge 15% !!!

  5. I accept with the criteria and other stuff. But, I don’t understand one thing with BuySellAds. They accepted a site which has got low impressions and visitors per month when compared to mine and the design too looks pretty bad. How is that possible? Do you think they accept sites which are run on WP?

  6. If you are investing a lot of time and effort on your site to come up with good content then surely you will get listed in BSA.

  16. I have two blog, my first blog have page views lesthan 5k/month, and BSA was approved. My other blog have page views about 15k but BSA rejected my submission 4 times :(. I guess BSA considering my twitter follower. Because i have 1.5k follower on my first blog.

  17. I applied but they rejected may be because of less no of PV’s, and wide area of topics i cover in my site, i am thinking of a revamp soon.

  18. I still recommend BSA even though they are not so customer friendly and they are almost not even replying to any queries. That’s the biggest problem with BSA.

  19. Congrats, Pradeep. I haven’t got to try that yet. Not sure if I can make it through daily posting though. Good tip, at least I can keep this in mind whenever I feel like trying. Appreciate the review. Hope you’ll start earning big bucks soon! ^^
