We are often asked - "How do I get advertisements on my site, so that I can
bring in some advertising revenue?"
Many web-based advertising schemes are ineffective. Here are two that can
bring results:
We suspect that many small businesses will have difficulty in finding a
scheme where the advertiser will pay you just to place an advertisement on your
site. The available schemes (and Commission Junction is no exception) pay out if
someone looking at your site clicks on the ad (and additionally, in most cases,
the click-through has to result in a lead or sale). You then get automatically
paid an amount of money, which can be a fixed amount for a lead, or a
significant percentage of the sale.
This means that it's crucial to have ads on your site that relate to the
subject matter of your site - otherwise people will tend to ignore them.
To give an idea of the scale of Commission Junction's operation: on their
site there are about 1700 advertisers in the "personal care/health and wellness"
section alone. This means that you should be able to find advertising material
that is both reputable and relevant to your site.
Our suggestion is that you go to
their site and join up as an affiliate. Choose a small number of
advertisers, as relevant to your site as possible.
If you are constructing your own site, download the code to put on your site
in order to make the ads work.
