10 tips to sell more ads on your blog

There are hundreds of ways people are actually using to monetize their blogs and websites. But banner-selling remains to be one of the highest money making option for a popular blog in any niche. Do you have a blog with decent traffic, but don’t have much advertisers to make money from, I will try to solve this problem statement with this post where I’m will be sharing top 10 tips for selling more advertisements on your blog:

First thing that you have to get more advertisers for your blog is create an Advertising page on your blog and share it on prominent positions on your blog in the form of text and banner links. And don’t forget to include major advertising options, ad slots available, customers testimonials and how you accepts etc.

And in case you don’t get much success in selling direct advertisements on your blog, you can try some popular ads buying selling networks like BuySellAds, AdvertiseSpace, OIO Publishers and PerformancingAds. All of above networks will send advertisers to your blog and in return will charge some percentage of your earnings except OIO Publishers which takes one time fee for using it’s service and will forward all of your earnings into your account.

Why don’t create promotional posts on your blog informing your blog readers about various advertising slots available for sale on your blog. Lots of readers on your blog may be interested in buying ad space on your blog. So by creating posts around advertising options, you will be able to convert some of your blog readers into direct advertisers.

On some occasions, it really works to blog about the best ad slots available on your blog on all major social networks where you have lots of followers like Twitter, Facebook, Orkut etc.

It really works to keep your advertising rates to the lower side if you are finding it hard to get advertisers for your blog. And once you see some advertisers purchasing banner subscription successively for 5-6 months, you can think of increasing your advertising rates to some extent.

It’s most important to show advertisers banners on places where they will get maximum impressions and clicks. You cannot make big money through banner advertising if your advertisers are not able to get decent business in exchange for the monthly fee they pay you. So you should look at ways to give maximum benefit to your advertisers.

Patience has also a big role in whether you will be able to sell some ads on your blog or not. Lots of bloggers will show Advertise Here banners on their blog for a week or two only and then removes them from their blog. I would suggest keeping the patience and keep advertising banners and links live on your blog for few months at least before reaching to a decision.

Spend some time on popular blogs in your niche and see who is actually advertising on these blogs. Create a list of advertisers and send them polite email informing them about the advertising options that you have and the kind of benefit they will get in case they decide to advertise on your blog.

Regular blogging concept applies to getting more advertisers for your blog the same way it applies for building traffic, trust, authority and backlinks for a blog. No advertiser will love to put their ads on a blog that has not been updated for months. So you should aim at updated your blog regularly with the targeted content around your niche.

I think this really motives your existing advertisers and people who are thinking of advertising on your blog when they see special posts coming on your blog around existing advertisers. You can create posts like ‘Thanks to Sponsors for this Month’ where you can draft a post around your current advertisers showing a snippet of your advertisers website and services with textual links and banners.

  1. Google Adsense is an easy way to make money from your blog. All you need to do is add a script from Google to your website and start displaying ads.
    You will get paid for every time a user clicks on the ad. These are called CPC ads.
    What is CPC? CPC stands for “cost per click.” By displaying CPC ads with Google Adsense, you receive a set fee every time an ad on your website is clicked by a visitor. The cost per click is set by the advertiser. (This is in contrast to CPM ads, where you’re paid for ad views instead of clicks. CPM means “cost per thousand impressions,” where M is the roman numeral for 1,000.)
    Google Adsense is a good way to start earning money online when you are first starting out.
