Commercial organizations tend to have their own websites as a part of their product’s marketing, cataloging, display or information sharing purposes. Some websites do provide web services and earn money from those services. But some sites are there which neither belong to any commercial organizations nor provide any web services. For example: Photo sharing site, personal websites, blogs, forums etc. Although the purpose is not anything commercial, still the author of the sites can earn some money if their sites are really popular and have some good traffic. I know many people don’t like the idea of having advertisements in their website for various reason. First of all the ads really disrupts the theme of the site and secondly it is not easy to influence someone to put their advertisement in your site. Both the problems are solved now a days. Some third party advertisement agencies have solved these problems. They collect advertisements from the advertisers and puts those ads on your site. They just don’t put anything in your site, rather they have algorithms which selects random ads that matches the content ant theme of your site. For example, if your site specializes on photography, then the ads that will appear in your site will be something related to photography. The doubt that you might be having is something whether you’ll be paid or not and how… The third parties are some companies like google, yahoo, msn, adbrite which really do have some value with their name upon which you can rely on. Moreover, this advertising system is getting so popular now a days that you should really rely on the ad agencies.
Let’s consider some popular sites like facebook and HI5. Now let’s consider some E-mail address providers like GMAIL, HOTMAIL, YAHOO. I’ll not believe if you say that you are not part of these social networking sites or don’t use above mentioned free email addresses. Did you pay anything to these sites? or do they have any offer which requires you to pay to get those? No…. You don’t have to pay anything to get those services. Still those sites are growing in terms of their asset and revenue earning… Where do they earn from? Yes, advertisements… Some other things are ofcourse there- like a big network of people and their information. But still their major portion of revenue do come from the advertisement they serve in their pages.
You might not earn that much, but you’ll definitely feel the urge to develop your site and enrich content of your site which will increase traffic or visitors to your site ultimately resulting more clicks on the advertisements that you’ll serve in your website. More visitor, more clicks, more earning- really interesting when you apply those to your site. Yahoo Publishers Network/ Adbrite / Google adsense do have some easy and convenient way of payment which definitely gives you a chance add something to your wallet, and If you can ensure a great number of visitors, you can expect the amount to be a decent one.
Look at the right side bar in my blog, and there are numbers of advertisements there. If you click there, I’ll get about 4 cent per click. These are advertisements from Adbrite network. Adbrite’s advertisements do have something interesting like- If you want to provide a portion of our site for advertisement you can have ad from advertisers for continuous display of which for a fixed time you can earn a fix money regardless of if someone is clicking on the ad or not. Moreover you can your own bid as well as allow advertisers to put their bid and you get the power to choose whose ads to approve. I’ll write an individual post on Adbrite’s advertisement policy.
