website advertising

[gontofe]

I am looking to set up a website, and need to know how to get people to advertise on my site? How do I start earning revenue from advertising?

Sorry to sound crude..........But firstly create a site that attracts public interest.....Once you can prove the hit's received on your site then ask the same Question.

if you can keep some sort of record of who's visting your site, who your users are, you can charge more to advertisers as their ads will be more targeted, but as adydb says, you need to generate public interest and get people on your site before visitors will pay to advertise there.

Have you considered google adsense? you get paid to have google ads on your site, and if someone clicks one you get some money. 

think about using google adwords too, and use the conversion tracking, then you can tell advertisers what people on your site are looking for - again - more targeted ads = more money for you.

sorry that's a bit jumbled hope it makes some sense.  try forums like webproworld or webmasterworld where they specifically discuss web marketing and the like.

I avoid google adwords because they charge you every time people click on your site. It could cost you a half a million pounds if a whole load of people clicked on your site.

If you are selling books on your website, you could have picture links or logos to companies such as book printers, and you will have made an arrangement with them to earn a percentage every time someone clicks on their picture or logo at your site and buys something. Normally they have to buy something there and then before you will get anything. To be paid you will have to take out an internet banking facility such as Click Bank. I doubt that people with websites that are not advertising or selling anything make much money from pictures and logos of other companies. When the dot.com error first started, some people eager to cash in on it posted miscellanious picture and logo links to companies in the hope that hundreds of people would click on them and buy something. Such websites are all over the internet long forgotten by the people that built them.
