It may seem like a daft question, but I have never known how to get advertisers on my blog/forum. I have five slots available of various sizes, so how do I get adverts for them ?
1. Get to the best known ad-networks: google adsense, yahoo publisher, text-link-ads, linkworth, buysellads, chitika etc. Get an account and see if you get advertisers. 2. Open a thread in webmaster/admin forums and announce the ad position availability
Buysellads is quite difficult to get accepted into but once one of your sites has been accepted then most other sites you submit usually get approved. I started off by getting AF accepted, now I have over 10 sites using BSA
Forum Assist still hasn't been accepted but I'm thinking of submitting it again after the revamp, they do take potential into consideration don't they?
Learning a lot of new things here, thank you guys! Has anyone had any luck with convincing the local vendors for ads on your site?
Believe it worked for me, I've a few vendors putting up their products for sale in my forum as well as bought ad space
It really depends on the forum niche, for example, my forum's niche has a lot to do with travel and tourism, so I let local agents advertise and sell their services as well as buy ad space..
I still haven't applied to BSA, but from expirience of others, it's really good. Shady, do you have any tips on how to get accepted there ?
The only way to get accepted is to have good amount of traffic and your forum niche should cover the ad categories they have. I applied for mine and it got rejected..
