Where to get advertisers?

On the beginning, however, you will need to hunt advertisers down. You just put up a few ads on your site and wait for the cash to roll in, right? Direct advertising is one of the best ways of monetizing a website. However, getting advertisers for your website and eventually closing the deals, is not a simple matter. The most difficult part of the process, however, is to actually find the advertisers. I included some places where you can look for in that article, but I felt that it would be useful to have one post listing all the ways you can use to find advertisers for your website. The following are some things that will attract advertisers to your website:

• People linking to your site or articles: If a company is willing to link to your articles or to add your website under its "Links" or "Resources" section, it is also probably willing to discuss about advertising on your site. Keep track of those incoming links. If you notice a link from a company blog, you could again contact the company asking if it would be interested in becoming a sponsor. If they liked your content enough to link to it, they will certainly consider an advertising deal.


• People leaving comments/e-mails


• Reply to all press releases and review requests

• AdWords advertisers


• Other advertising networks


• Banner advertisers on similar sites


• Create a "Potential sponsors" bookmark folder: This technique produced outstanding results for me. I have a bookmark folder on my browser called "Potential sponsors". Every time I come across a company or website that could be interested in sponsoring my website, I bookmark it. Currently I have over 100 bookmarked sites on that folder, and I have not approached half of them yet.
