How to Get Paid for Having Ads on Your Website

1. Insert pay per click ads. Pay per click (PPC) ads are ads where you get paid for the number of times that your users click ads. Google AdSense, the Yahoo! Publisher Network, and Bidvertiser are three popular services that provide pay per click revenue. Sign up for one or more of these sites, which allow you to target what types of ads you will have on your site to your user (for example, pet stores for a blog about pets), insert the code into your site and you will have ads generating revenue on your site.
2. Join a cost per mille network. Cost per mille (CPM) networks are like PPC networks, except they frequently use banner ads instead of text ads. You also get paid a certain rate for every thousand page views, rather than getting paid for every time a person clicks on your ad. CPM networks include Casale Media, Burst Media, and Value Click. Again, CPM revenue is as simple as signing up, entering in information about your website for targeting, and inserting the relevant code into your website.

3. Shop your website around for direct banner revenue. Directly selling banner space on your website works just like selling advertising in a print magazine. Go around to local businesses or other, larger websites which have similar content. Tell them why they should advertise on your website. Then quote them a price and a duration for the ad to run.
