Website Advertising
Helping you generate income from Affiliate Programs
Help, advice, and configuration of the popular web configuration programs
It is helpful for your website? It depends on:
- How many hits you get
- What you website is about - websites about diamond rings or web hosting will earn far more than ones about paper-clips
- Can you target your ads - a website about Lake District walks can advertise accomodation services, but a UK wide walking website would not be targetted enough

- Install their code on your website.
- Block types of ads you do not want to appear, e.g. gambling, pay day loans, direct competitors
- Advertisers pay per 1,000 impressions or per click.
- How much they pay depends on how much they value your website - 10p to 50p per click is typical
Paying to Advertise on other People's Website
The big daddy for advertisers is Google's Adwords program.
- Choose a geographical region for your ads to appear in, e.g. Italy
- Choose 1 or more selections of keywords, e.g. If you choose "Molise" and "holiday" and "rental", your Google search will need to include all 3 terms for the ad to appear.
- Choose between paying per impression or paying per click
- Choose a daily budget and a monthly maximum
- Switch your ad campaigns on and off depending upon how much business you have, and how much you need
- Note that for charities, Google has a very generous free ads program
