What you guys think of going to your local community businesses and charging a small fee to put there web links on your site? Make it month to month no long term contract.

Might work if you get businesses that have related services or products.

Until you have a ton of site views, it might be best to wait before charging. When you receive a ton of views, then you really have something to offer advertisers. Now, you might be able to sell a few naive advertisers because of your superb looking site and excellent sales skills, but imagine how that person will feel in a few months when he/she evaluates whether your site has converted the businesses' advertising dollars into real sales.

Otherwise, I feel like it is an excellent idea when you truly have something to offer advertisers.

yes yes yes. Thats the only way to go IMO...

have done that for 12 years on my sites and made very good money for it.

Your better off selling a banner add for 10 bucks each (per month) than relying on addwords or the like... a no brainer... market to your niche always.

good luck.

I agree with this approach. Those banner ad clients will link to you and talk about you to their contacts, friends and family. It's all part of a overall great strategy for building site traffic and putting some money in your pocket while you do. You have to start the snow ball down the hill and getting $10 a month banner advertisers is a great place to start. Especially, if you commit to limiting the number of ads.

$10 is the price of two Venti Lattes at Starbuck's for goodness sakes. The local micro-market players are a great place to start. If you feel bad about taking someone's money without traffic, then commit to them in the agreement that you will take 25% of the revenue and put it in Google Ads or MSN advertising? This helps the snowball and its like saving money. If you just do this with each contract/paycheck, you never take the money into spend so to speak, it helps the traffic/savings.

This 25% plan is a win-win. They get a piece of the 25% of everyone else you are selling to and it shows that you have a plan in place to drive traffic. If you're selling a limited number of low dollar ads, you could jack the price up on the next one after you sell out. So it you have 8 for sell at $10 when they sell out, then the next client in pays, $15, when a slot frees up. This way you find a ceiling or "what the market will bear".

In addition-I hope DM allow us to put in our on affiliate links and banners codes.

I wouldn't count on that.

Realistically, DM will very likely be VERY restrictive of what is allowed except for their content/ads/etc/.

We may find ways around it with links and what not, but if you expect to be able to say plug in your google adsense code, I think that will not be likely.
