About developing a name

[peteboy]

Hi all.I'm looking to develop some names I have but I don't know what is the best way to make money with them.Should I sell advertising(banners)?If yes, how much should I ask weekly,monthly?May I sell links on a site,specialy on adult search sites or is it better to receive commission on sales?Is there others ways to make money with a developed name?
Thanks.

I guess the *best* thing to do at this time, in weighing the different alternatives ... is to find out how much traffic the domain is currently getting. Track it for a while, check logs, etc. Banners, reciprocal Links or Ads, PPC ("Pay-per-Click") are all options, IMHO.
Good Luck.

if your looking to develop your site develop it and then check your traffic and decide how much per month your traffic is worth to sell banners on it

Yea, obviously you charge more mothly for banners if your site gets a lot of traffic...

Whats the best way of checking traffic? Just a simple counter?

no! Use a statistics programs. AWStats is built into cpanel6.0 I use that. Webalyzer is a free one from www.mrunix.com (i think that was the site). you need advanced tracking of the names. Unique visitors is the important field.

Advertising can bring in BIG bucks if you get lots of traffic.

yes, statistics programs are better than counters... and wha kind of traffic your getting determines the advertising ammounts.... good luck pete
