Selling ad spaces
on your blog is one of the blog monetization methods
you can use in earning money online from your blog. By advertising websites, blogs, businesses etc on your site, you can easily make money online
from banner advertising.
There are many advertisers online willing to place banner ads
on websites and blogs using direct advertising without third party programs like Google Adwords
. Hence, if you are willing to rent an ad space for such advertisers on your blog, you need to add “ advertise here
” banners to your blog. It can be as simple as having two 125×125 banners in the sidebar or just one 336×280 “ Advertise here
” banner.
Before placing “ Advertise Here ” banners on your blog, you should consider creating an “advertise” or “contact” page where you explain how to place ads on your website to advertisers i.e the terms, cost etc. You can check out the advertise page of my blog for ideas.
More so, you must ensure that the width of your blog sidebar is greater than the width of your banner. For example, if you want to place a 336×280 banner on the sidebar, the width of your sidebar must be greater than 336. If you want to place two 125×125 banners lying side by side, the width of your sidebar must be greater than 250 (125 + 125, for two banners).
