Banner advertisements are one way to monetize articles.
When attempting to monetize the content that you have published on your site, it's crucial to successfully market it in order to draw visitors and let them know what a high-quality website you have.
There are several ways to market and promote your website, one of them being through banner advertisements.
What Banner Ads Can Do For You
Banner ads can help bring visitors from other sites to your own. Although monthly fees can be expensive to advertise on high-traffic sites, in the end, it may be cheaper and/or a faster way to start seeing significant revenue from your website efforts,
rather than waiting for SEO techniques to bring your own site to the top of search engine results.
In addition to paying to place advertisements on other people's websites, there are additionally free banner swaps available.
Below, we'll examine the advantages and disadvantages of every banner advertising strategy.
Free Banner Exchanges
When other websites and you swap banners, it is known as a free banner exchange. Both your banner and their banner will appear on the other's website.
Although this option is free, there are two main problems with it. First, you will need to overcrowd your own site with these banners if you would like your banner to appear on a large number of websites.
This could even shoot you in the foot if you run an affiliate website because,
instead of clicking on your affiliate links, your visitors may be clicking on your banner exchange links.
Secondly, you have to be really careful about the types of sites that you exchange banners with.
Some sites like to gather a lot of banners so that they can be a directory or portal site and not have to have any real content.
These “banner farms” or “link farms” will do nothing positive for your site and, in the meantime, you will be bringing them potential traffic.
Paid Banner Ads
As we saw above, paid banner ads cost money, but they will eventually pay off if you choose the right ones.
You need to ensure that the site produces the amount of traffic that they say and that they have your ad placed in a way
that invites visitors to click without being too pushy. Additionally, you want to pick a site where there aren't too many rival links or advertisements on the same webpage as your own.
All in all, banner ads can end up being profitable for your site if you go about it the right way.
If you do decide to check out banner advertisements as a marketing avenue, be sure to keep the above tips in mind.
