Ideas for you webmasters , everything you wanted to know.

Site owners can earn money from their site by putting advertisements on their website.

There are a few different publisher programs out there and different styles of advertising. First off unless you have thousands of hits on your site i would not recommend putting ads on your site because you will never make enough to reach min payout. I know this from experience , dont waste your time. I know you want to try it , but really work on getting more traffic before you put ads. If anything you should be buying ads not publishing them.

Publisher programs

The most popular program is owned by google , called google adsense. Adsense is popular because of the many advertising and publisher features , plus the vast amount of advertisers. Other popular programs include clicksor and bidvertiser . Most programs you will have to have a certain amount of traffic before they will even consider you to use their program. Others dont have min. requirements but they will check your site for content.

Types of advertising

Banners- You can place banners on your site and get paid in different ways. You can get paid per click , every time someone clicks on the banner you will get paid a certain amount that the advertisers is willing to pay. The amount is also determined by the programs depending on the popularity of the keyword. Some programs offer CPM , which is for every 1000 impressions you will get paid a certain amount.

Text ads- Text ads are just like the banners , except they are no images , just text. They are not as popular and sometimes are harder to notice than banners. You get paid per click on text ads.

Search- I know adsense has this option where you can put a search bar on your site. Every time someone searches on google with the bar you will earn a certain amount.

Affiliate- Affiliate works a little different than those other methods. Instead you can place text ads , banners or links of a product and if someone buys the product that came from your link/site you will earn a referral % of the sale. Many big shopping sites have their own affiliate programs you can join. There are also big programs like clickbank that you can promote thousands of different products.

These are the majors publishing/advertising methods. The more traffic you have the more money you are going to earn. Its all about getting quality traffic to earn off ads. If you only have a couple hundred hits a day i wouldnt recommend you advertise products on your site , because it wont be worth it. If you have thousands of hits daily then this is a great way to make extra bucks from your site. Another thing i want to mention , dont over advertise. If your site is filled with advertisements it doesnt make your site look good. Keep it minimal by putting them in places they can be noticed. For example in the middle of an article or at the top.

This should get you started , if you have any questions comment.
