How to Create a Free Website Get Paid

1. Choose a free website host. Often your Internet provider may offer this service, or you can find another free web hosting service (see Resources). Make sure your host offers enough storage space to create a fairly decent web page. A website with 100 mb of storage space isn't going to give you much room to work. Get familiar with the publishing tools your prospective website host offers. These are the tools you will use to design and create your website. You want tools that offer you flexibility in the layout and design of your website, as well as tools that make uploading the files for your website simple. Most free web hosts offer these tools as standard features.

2. Decide on the content of your website. The ability you have to attract advertisers to your website will be based on your ability to attract huge numbers of visitors to your website. Think of topics that will interest the widest possible audience. You're not making a website for your entertainment; you're making a website that will generate revenue. Self-help websites in areas such as 'how to gain financial freedom' or 'how to make money doing (insert subject)' are popular. Websites that offer just about anything free are also big crowd-pleasers. Pick a topic, or several topics, that will bring traffic to your website.

3. Sell advertising space. Once you have a proven track record of a large number of visitors to your website on a daily basis, use your website to advertise space on your website. Track the number of visitors to your website with a free tracker, something most free web hosts provide.

4. Advertise your website wherever you can to increase traffic. Include a link to your website in every email you send out. Visit search engine homepages and submit your website. Use strong keywords in the keyword form in your web design tools.

5. Use Google Adsense. You can sign up for an account free, and Google will place advertisements on your website that match your content. This strengthens the likelihood that visitors to your website will click on the ads, which in turn earns money for you and for Google.

6. Sell an original product on your website. If you're an artist, offer your sketches and paintings for sale. If you write, sell e-book versions of your books. Offer some free content to entice visitors into purchasing your products as well.

What Is a Remnant Ad in Google Ad Manager?

History

DoubleClick was a Google competitor in the online advertising arena. Google eventually purchased DoubleClick and its ad-serving technology in 2007. The company previously used Google Ad Manager to help website owners manage their advertising inventory. The service still exists, but Google rebranded it as DoubleClick For Publishers, or DFP, in 2010.

Remnant Ads

When you sign a contract with an advertiser to deliver a specific number of visitor impressions on your website, you can enter that specific amount for delivery when creating Ad Manager ads. After fulfilling those impressions, you may still get more website visitors. These are remnant impressions. You can create remnant ads in Ad Manager to fill these spots. There are two ways to do this. The first is to create a line item in the customer's order. Each line item is an ad that displays for customers who buy your remnant impressions, which are typically sold at a discount price to sell off your unsold inventory.The second type of remnant ad originates from Google AdSense, which is a publisher network that allows you to run Google ads purchased through the AdWords service. If you do not have any remnant ads set up, AdSense displays ads for your entire unsold inventory. If you are running separate remnant ads, you can also set up your AdSense ads to compete against your other remnant ads. If AdSense can deliver a more profitable click, it will do that. If not, it will display the other remnant ads.

Creating Line Items

In your DFP account, click on 'Orders' from the main page. You then opt to create a new order or choose an existing one. Click on 'New Line Item.' Fill in the details for any remnant ads you want to run. For ads eligible to compete against AdSense, select a network, price priority, standard or bulk ad type. Sponsorship line items are priority ads that display before remnant ads. House line items are for your own ads. Neither sponsorship nor house ads compete against AdSense. Save the line item. You do not have to upload AdSense settings. All account holders must join AdSense before getting an account and include their AdSense publisher ID on the application. As such, the system is already prepared to serve the ads corresponding to your AdSense publisher account.

AdSense Settings

To enable AdSense to display as a remnant ad, click 'Inventory' from the main page and select 'Network Settings.' On the next page, you will see a box to select 'Maximize revenue of unsold and remnant inventory with AdSense.' Put the check mark in the box and save the settings to enable AdSense. When you create individual ad units, you can click 'Override' and uncheck the box to disable AdSense from competing against your other remnant ads.

How to Advertise on Google AdSense

1. Sign up for an AdWords account (see Resources). If you already use Google services such as Gmail or AdSense, you can sign up using that information and keep your Google accounts linked.

2. Enter basic information such as your time zone and the currency type you would like to use for billing.

3. Build a budget for your campaign. You can customize how much you will pay per ad click, and you can customize a daily maximum for your ads.

4. Create your ad. You can either make a text ad (with a headline, description and link) or upload an image-based banner ad.

5. Enter payment information. You can pay for your ad campaign with a credit card, bank account or Google gift card. You can also set a cap for how much you want to be charged to your account at a time.

How Does Internet Advertising Work?

The Webmaster Sets Aside Space for Ads

To generate revenue from advertisements, webmasters first need an established website with a considerable amount of traffic. As the website grows and traffic begins flowing onto the site, the webmaster may evaluate the need for advertising and set aside some space for ads in a slot on the page that tastefully complements the main content. As long as the content remains relevant and interesting, users will continue to access the site and potentially produce advertisement revenue.

The Webmaster Uses an Ad Broker

Web ads are prevalent on the Internet and may have been constructed without any personal contact between the advertiser and webmaster. A number of advertising brokers match advertisers with webmasters, offering a quick and painless registration process and easy integration of the ads onto the webmaster's site. Brokers like Google Adsense and Kontera allow webmasters to place a portion of code on their site; when the page is visited, the code displays advertisements relevant to the text shown on the page. The code embedded on the web page automatically reports vital statistics--such as how many times the ads have been viewed and how many visitors have clicked on the ads--back to the ad broker who, in turn, compensates the webmaster for the advertisement space.

The Webmaster Seeks out 'Sponsors'

Sponsorships are another form of web ads. In a sponsorship arrangement, the webmaster seeks out other websites, generally in businesses that complement his own, that offer 'affiliate programs.' The webmaster signs up for the affiliate program and selects display or text ads to code into his web page. When a visitor to the site sees or clicks on the ad, special codes in the web link alert the affiliate program to the action and update the webmaster's account. Webmasters may be paid a small fee for every 1,000 times the ad is displayed (cost per 1,000, or CPM advertising) or may receive a stipend for each time the ad is clicked (pay per click, or PPC advertising). Ad-bearing websites may focus on an infinite number of topics, but webmasters should use caution to ensure the selected advertising program nicely complements the topic of his site.

The Webmaster Might Sell Ads

Some webmasters prefer a more traditional approach to web sales. These webmasters approach local businesses, retailers, restaurants and other establishments with advertising opportunities. Depending on the website's focus and popularity, ad prices might range from $25 per month to $99 per month or higher. The webmaster places an ad (developed either by the customer, by the webmaster or by a professional advertising firm) on the site and charges the advertiser a flat fee, regardless of how many times the ad is seen or clicked. This approach seems to be most prevalent in small, community-oriented websites, though those sites also enjoy some income from ad broker or sponsorship accounts.
