Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Design and Content : putting adverts on my site

[DomainProblem]

Ok, I didn't expect my site to launch quite like this, i've had 3000+ on the first official day of launch, and now I want to put advertising on it ASAP

I have two spots on my page where a graphic banner can go - how do I go about getting people to want to advertise? Should I contact companies?

Thanks

yes you need to contact related companies, you also show on your site that "space available for advertise" Or you can use adsense etc.

Sure you can contact companies themselves, you can use services like adsense who connects you to advertizers, or you can give something like Project Wonderful a shot where advertizers find you.

good idea Ariolander

yeah why not try bidvertiser, if you have a lot of visitors then it increases the rate of an ad being clicked, when clicked you earn something like i dunno 0.01p lol.

Before you jump into advertising. Think about it quite carefully. Would you visitors/clients like it? Would it detract from the user experience? Personally I hate adverts on websites. They can also mess up a good design.

Defiantly look at adsense though. They are usually quite plain ads.

Stick with adsense and you should do fine if you've got a good flow of traffic daily.
