How to Sell More Online Advertising Effectively



1. Place banners of your own on available space with an 'Ad Space For Sale' graphic, indicating that the available spaces on your site have not yet been purchased by other vendors and are available for purchase or rent. Include an email by which the interested customer may contact you.

2. Free more space on your site to sell at the top of each page. Advertisers are interested in having their ads seen as soon as the page appears without the user needing to scroll down the page. These spaces are more valuable, and you can charge more for them over ads at the bottom of your site.

3. Prepare a statement of your website's activity that you can send to interested buyers. Include how many hits your site gets a day and how many ad clicks the other advertisements receive. Include the number of impressions each currently shown ad has. An impression is the number of times an ad is shown to a viewer, though not necessarily clicked. Prove to the potential buyer that your space has the ability to make them money by showing them that your site is frequently visited. Gather demographic data on the people who visit your site.

4. Offer incentives that the buyers will receive upon advertising with your site. These may include coupons or special promotions for your own company's products. If you are running a blog, consider offering to have the ad sponsors do a guest post for you.

5. Gather customer feedback from advertisers who have already purchased space on your site. Hearing the growth that your other advertising companies have experienced may be enough to convince your potential buyer to give your site further consideration.

6. Price your space correctly. If your site is not as high traffic as your competitors, lower your price until you gather enough testimonials from other companies to give your site the credibility it deserves. Raise your price once you start getting enough offers to fill your spaces and you have to rotate advertisements regularly.

How to Get Paid to Post Ads for Google



1. Set up a blog or website that gives its readers good articles and information on a subject you have experience in and like writing about. Select a blog template that allows for the addition of Google Adsense ads in its structure, whether in one margin or integrated into your articles.

2. Sign up for a Google Adsense account. Fill out the registration form provided at the Google Adsense website and submit for approval. They will ask your name, address, Social Security number for tax purposes, how you want to be paid and website information.

3. Add the Google Adsense tracking code to your website through the administrative section of your software.Google will do the rest. Google selects and publishes ads that pertain to the content of your website and articles directly on your blog. Your readers click on the ads Google Adsense is displaying, and you earn money.Google Adsense ads pay out in cost per click and cost per impression. With cost per click, you earn each time someone actually clicks on the ad and goes to the advertiser's page. Google sets a cookie onto the reader's computer to track where they go and pays you accordingly. Cost per impression is for large volume websites and Google pays out each time your readers just see the ad, usually paying out for each 1,000 sightings, or impressions, to you.

4. Collect and cash your checks or pick up your money. Google pays out on the contractual basis that you agreed upon when you completed your registration form. Google will pay you by check, electronic bank transfer, Western Union Quick Cash, or Rapida, which is a cash transfer system that allows you to pick up your cash at the nearest post office.You can track your earnings right online at the Google Adsense website.

How to Make Money With Banner Advertising on Your Website



1. Define the subject and objectives of your website to determine the types of businesses you would like to advertise on your website. Banner ads perform best on websites that display content related to the product or service being advertised. Review your content and create a specific statement of what your website is about, what its objectives are and what businesses are related to the content displayed.

2. Find affiliate programs to join either by contacting individual companies or by joining a website such as Commission Junction, Clickbank or Google Adsense. Normally, if a website offers an affiliate program there is a link for more information in the footer of its website. Apply through the affiliate website to join an affiliate program. While some programs automatically approve all who apply, there are some that manually review applications and approve only those with websites that offer content related to their products or services.

3. Determine where the best positions are on your website for the banner advertisements. Banner advertisements generally get more clicks if they are placed above the fold. The fold is the portion of the website that appears without scrolling. This includes within the header, left and right sides and between paragraphs within the content.

4. Avoid cluttering your page by displaying too many advertisements. While it can be tempting to display as many advertisements to increase chances that visitors will click on one, displaying too many can be overwhelming so visitors either will skip that section or page altogether. Visitors must be able to read the content easily and clearly, without too many distractions from advertisements or they will quickly move off your website before having the chance to click on your advertisements.

5. Ensure that your webpage loads quickly and that visitors see the banners immediately when the page loads. Placing too many banner ads can result in the webpage loading slowly, causing a delay in visitors seeing the advertisements or even the page's content, especially if the site's content includes images and videos. If you decide to have several banners on your webpage, select static banners instead of ones with dynamic codes, or that use Flash technology. Visitors that reach a webpage that takes too long to load are more likely to exit rather than wait, or will read the entire webpage content before ads are finished loading.
