How to get more advertisers
Have an “Advertise with Us” page
This is the most basic and important way to get noticed by the advertisers. It should click to an advertising information page, and provide easy details on the issue and have an easy way to contact you for further information. Have a graphical image to attract advertisers.
Be specific
Know your niche and let it be very specific, so that visitors are interested in clicking the ads about the same niche your are writing about. There by both advertiser and publisher makes money. For example if you have an ad of “food” on a blogging tips site then visitors won’t click that ad, or rather if you had a ad of “web designing”, then probability of click through rate is more.
Show them banners and ad space
Provide every other detail to your blog, the specification of ad space and the cost of it. Also allowable formats and links. This is good way to strategise, because depending on the ad space available you provide the chance to the advertiser so as what is to be chosen?
Boast about your site
Tell the advertisers why should they advertise on your blog. Provide them at least two solid reasons and proof. Show them your blog stats and traffic.
Have “About Us” page
The advertiser should be able to know more about the site and the site owner, so make it simple to have a contact for more information about your blog.
Throw a “Free Bonus”
This is a marketing strategy, if you are advertising then this is important. For example, say you have a 125×125 ad space which costs $10 per month, that makes a $30 for 3months. Other wise – Ask you advertisers to book for 3months and get a 15days extra advertising.
So be creative in your thinking, marketing and promoting is a important part of advertising.
Facebook Strategy
When facebook started, initially it did not have any advertising on its page until it hit a 150million users. People stay on facebook – because its “Cool!”, and ads are uncool. Anyways, Facebook advertising started when they decided to monetize their site. So, advertising is the way to make money but think on “How to advertise?” Many a times the better the quality of the offer, people will definitely buy it.
Know your niche and let it be professional
Keep you advertising space to limit, and focus more on your niche and content. And always remember let it be professional. Visitors like professional, and every now and then if they receive pop-ups they would hate your site, and remember “love is better than hate!”.

A lot of great points regarding converting traffic to advertising dollars. I believe that knowing your niche is by far one of the most important. Smart advertisers will always favor spending money on websites that are closely intertwined with their own niche then slightly higher traffic sites with no real correlation. Thanks for the post!

HI Suraj,
I think you are very much right when you say know your niche. Advertisers search for websites according to niche and want to target niche visitors and so if your blog/website is without a niche it really becomes hard to get advertisers.

Facebook’s strategy was a genius one. I see many new bloggers that make a website and the next day they fill it with ugly google ads when they don’t even have people to click those ads.
They do it in the wrong order. First you need loyal visitors, only then try to monetize your website. Not to mention you’ll have a hard time selling ad space if you only get 2 visits per day.

In my opinion, there are two things that especially important: 1) many targeted traffic 2) target topic. It seems easy, but to succeed is not easy.

You can also use networks such as Puxee and Buy Sell Ads.
David Shaw recently posted..3 Impressive SEO Infographics
Have you tried Puxee? How do you like it. I’m testing a few different ad sites and haven’t had a change to test Puxee yet. I also just got my first direct ad this month.
I didn’t have anything on the site to host direct so it was a lot of work and it still doesn’t flow with the site correctly

Always understand niche and value of your blog . Do some research before charging a specific amount for ad space . I have noticed that many blogger never understand the real value of place and start charge what ever they want .
Create a good ” Advertise with US” page but think like a advertiser and quote a price. Because it is necessary to know , that will your advertiser get benefit from buying ads and is he making profits . By this you can make good understanding of ads value and advertisers will stay for long time .

I never thought about having advertisers on my web site or blog. Great idea!
This is a really good idea. You know, I have not tried experimenting with banners but I am thinking of doing this.
I’m a little nervous stepping to this since this is new to me. I guess the first step is getting a banner made and purchasing ad space.
Also, don’t forget to put your banners on your own site! This way other people can advertise for you.
Well written article, thank you!

I think this is good advice. I’d be curious though: what do you think is the cutoff for when it’s worthwhile to sell space directly to advertisers, vs. just using existing ad networks?
If your traffic is low, I’d imagine that it would be more headache than it’s worth to try to recruit advertisers and sell ad space directly, but I don’t have a good intuition point as to when it would start being worthwhile.

Hi Suraj,
What about posting your blog visitors statistic on advertise with us page (capture from Google analytics), long time ago while I worked for other company and look for advertised on blog or any advertising site, the first row of my contact will be the one who showed their visitors statistic.
Thank you for great share and good luck with the contest.

Hello Suraj,
These are great tips on letting advertisers know you are available to work with them. Of course, if they don’t find you, you can also e-mail them directly to get the ball rolling.
Good luck with the contest! Cosmin.
I’ll have to admit I wasn’t real happy when facebook started charging for some of the advertising and click through options. The changes they keep making are hard to promote your business. Don’t mess with what’s worked!!!
