The SEO (Search Engine Optimization) has been the key to success in the i-world.Every webmaster has to work hard on optimizing the blog/site to get good returns in terms of traffic, revenu
e, pagerank etc.
What we are interested in is the factor Pagerank.Pagerank is the indication of how well your site is indexed in search engines.It totally depends upon the quality of sites linking to your site.Better the pagerank of site linking to you, better are the results.
e.gThe value of a PR6 backlink is significantly higher than 1000 PR0 backlinks.Hence, there are many webmasters who look to grab such high quality links for their sites.Many of them are willing to pay good $$ to buy these links.
Thus, if you have a site with good pagerank, you can make good money from it.Even, the sites with low PRs (PR1,PR2) can make some bucks for you. There are quite a few sites offering the link trade services e.g.Linkworth,Text link ads etc..They act as agents between buyer and seller, and hence keep a few $$ for them.This means that you are not getting what you deserved.
Hence, you can try the forums where you can directly contact the buyer and complete the deals.DigitalPoint forums are the best if you want to sell the links.There are many such forums, but DigitalPoint works good for all.
Low PRs--> PR1,2
Mid PRs-->PR3,4,5
High PRs-->PR6,7,8
You can sell the links on monthly, 6 monthly or yearly basis (it depends upon the buyer).The yearly price you should get for each link is around $10-$25 for low PRs, $20-$70 for mid PRs, and minimum $100 for high PRs.You can get even more if you have a site with niche in demand.
With rapid growth in the internet marketing, many advertisers have started realizing the importance of buying ad spaces on popular websites.These websites help them to bring interested visitors to their website.And when they are successful in attracting such visitors, they will get good returns in terms of product-sell or sign up or anything which the advertiser wants.
The website owner who sells the ad space also gets good return and most importantly, the income is steady.
How to sell the ad spaces?
It is a bit difficult task.It needs hard work from our side.But once we succeed, it can turn out to be the main source of online income.
Contact advertisers:
This is important.There are very less chances that the advertisers ask you to sell ad spaces to them, unless you own a very popular website.
1.Choose advertisers-->Visit different websites which are topic-wise similar to your website.You will find few advertisements (they look different from adsense/bidvertiser ads and are generally banner ads).Make a list of such advertisers.
2.Send an email-->The emails to different advertisers may not be the same.Write about the topic, statistics (unique visitors, page hits per month) and its importance in point of view of advertiser.Write about the deal you are interested in, say $50-100 per month (keep in mind that this is very small amount for advertiser).
Wait for their response(don't keep sending the email everyday).
--If the advertiser accepts the deal, he will contact you asking about the ad size, ad format,ad placement etc.
--The advertiser may directly refuse it sending you a "sorry" message.
--The advertiser will not reply at all.
In last 2 cases, contact the advertiser again after a month.Sometimes consistency works!
If you contact 50 advertisers, you may succeed in selling the ad space to 2-3 advertisers.This will help you in being independent of the different CPC ad networks.
