Well, when I'm just about done with my website and ready to make money with Google Ads, I hit a roadblock.

My website is in Albanian, because I feel that it is one of the markets that I will be able to benefit from more than the rest for the following reasons.
-Most Albanian websites are crap. Users are fed up.
-Most Albanian websites are cheap. Using bloggers, etc.
-Most Albanian websites are never large. They suck at management.

So, I have created a "masterpiece" in Albanian. That's when the problems start. It's Albanian.

I have signed up with Adsense. Well, filled the application. Currently waiting for an answer. However, I really don't know what the deal is. I signed up, and under "Website Language", there was no Albanian in SIGHT. Tried to leave it blank, but no such thing was available. I put English. Then I signed up with a few other ones, including Bidvertiser, Adversal, Clicksor and not too bad. Accepted into Bidvertiser and Adversal, but waiting for Clicksor.

Now:
Do you think I have a chance with Adsense, or Clicksor?
What ads will get me the most revenue (if I do or don't get accepted into Adsense+Clicksor)?
Another words, what are some other options that will generate good revenue?

Anyone?????????

Possibly Yahoo! Publisher Network might help (they're Yahoo!'s answer to Google Adsense.)

Clicksor is a sick joke. You don't want their ads on your site. they're just annoying.

Once Google sees your site is in Albanian, you probably won't get in. They would have to have advertisers that promote in Albanian in order for you to have ads on your site in Albanian.

Personally, I think this is a case where you're likely to have to find your own advertisers since it's not that common a language.

I'll accept English Ads 100%. Most of my Visitors know English and live in either Canada, UK, or USA but I went ahead and made it in ALbanian because from a poll in my previous website, about 70% of visitors are English Speakers, and the rest are non-English Speakers. That translates to about 5000-10000 unique visits, monthly, that are non-English. now 5-10k isn't a small numer so I just made it in Albanian.

That's not the point. You can accept whatever you want, but when the ads are contextual and based on page content, they'll be designed to match whatever page the user is on. So if that page is Albanian, the ads would have to be in Albanian as well on that page.

So if you've got Albanian pages, I doubt you'll be accepted.

ahhhhhh. I know a lot of Albanian sites, who have no English content at all, but have Google Ads. (kosovarap.com for example)

Anyway, I'm still waiting for an answer from a few advertisement companies. Hope to get accepted into one or another soon.

keywords wont do? meta tags?
