How To fill An Empty Ad Slot On Your Blog

There are many ways of using the slot to earn an income from your website. Putting an Ad slot into your website is one of these. There is a mistake that quite a few bloggers do. It’s that they using a lot of empty ad spots.

There are many reasons you must not have a lot of empty ad spots: It devalues the ads, It’s a waste of space, It makes it harder to promote other ad, and so on.

Usually, when I have some empty ad spot on one of my blogs use some strategies. Today, I want to give you 4 simple ways to removing an empty ad slot from your blog.

Calls To Action - Calls potential advertisers to action by showing you’ve got an empty spot. You can call it with ‘advertise here’ in order to show how people can purchase advertising on the blog.

Add an Affiliate ad - Despite you haven’t a paid advertisement doesn’t mean you can’t get cash by it. There are so many affiliate programs out there. My prefer are: clickbank.com, Advaliant, shareasale. An affiliate marketers can earn from several ways: Pay-per-click, pay per sale, and pay per lead.

Placing an ad from another ad network – Usually, I use AdSense and then begin run other ad networks to see what converts and what don’t, such as Chitika.

Remember, never put all your eggs in one basket. I always said that you should look into as many different monetization methods for your blog as possible.

Promoting another blogger in your niche - Do a deal with another blogger and ask to him to show an ad into his blog in his empty ad spot, while you put an ad into your blog in your empty slot that link to his blog.

Leave At Least One Empty Ad Spot

In my experience, it’s important to leave one empty ad spot. So, you shows to your readers you accept advertising. It’s just better not to have a lot of empty ad spots.

  An electronic mailing list, is a list of names and addresses which are often used for widespread distribution of information to many Internet users.
  
  Typically refers to four things:
  
  1. A list of e-mail addresses; 2. The people (“subscribers”) that receiving mail at those addresses, 3. the publications (e-mail messages) sent to those addresses.
  
  Now, if you don’t have traffic to you site, it’s similar to opening a store in the middle of the desert! No one will find you. So the biggest ways that you have to know so much to make money with the affiliate program, is how get traffic to your website.
  
  Why?
  
  high traffic = high money
  
  Well, one of the most easiest methods to have success as marketer online is to create an good advertising campaign.
  
  But what does it means the word ‘advertising campaign‘?
  
  In a nutshell is a list of advertisement messages that share a single information which make up an integrated marketing communication and it’s important to directing people on your blog/site.
  
  A mailing list is one of the most powerful marketing tools you’ll ever have in your blog. With a mailing list you could know anyone are and what they are interested in. You can manage subscriptions and send them information about your website and invite them back to your site again and again.
  
  When someone signs up to your mailing list, it receive email from administrators. By offering unique contents is the better ways to receive many subscriptions, also if the trouble is that a lot of people are lazy and they enter their names in lowercase.
  
  If you get your visitors to subscribe to a mailing list, you can also getting people to click on ads. Is one of the better ways to increase your profit dramatically and very fast.
  
  Normally, the web form your autoresponder provides you looks like this:
  
  I’ve been using this look and it works fine, but many people also add a red lipstick round the button.
  
  Some online products and services offer to their customers the software for keeping in a simple spreadsheet all subscription.Without that, your site is never going to be successful.
  
  Firstly you need the software to bulk Email Marketing Services. If you don’t want to pay a $19/month with Aweber, you can use PHPlist. You can also use FeedBlitz which allows you to monitors RSS feeds and Web URLs and provide greater reach for feed publishers.
  
  FeedBlitz manages subscriptions, circulation tracking, testing, and is compatible with all major blogging platforms and services such as Blogger, Typepad and FeedBurner.
