If you are running a blog and are getting a decent amount of visitors you can cash-in by placing banners on your site. One easy way to get banners on your site is with DartMedia who are based in Kuwait. They pay up to KD3 for every 1000 impressions their banners get. So if you get 1000 visitors a day thats KD93 a month. Both Kuwaitism and Zaydoun have been using them for a while now so DartMedia must be treating them well or else they would have stopped using them ages ago. If you are interested in having banners on your site you can go apply on DartMedia’s website. Here is their link. [Link]

how much do you make every month?
thanx for the tip dude
If i was a client, i rather pay for 1000 clickthurs, not impressions..
*click thrus
Moryarti when you see an advert in the newspaper can you click it? What about an outdoor ad can you click that?
Advertising isn’t only about clicking ads. Clicking is a bonus but majority of advertising is based on impressions not click throughs.
Also let me give you another example on why clickthroughs dont work. Say I make a deal with you and tell you I will put your banner up on my site until you get 500 clicks on the banner, then I will remove it. Cool? Now what about if your banner is ugly. I could be giving you a million impressions but if your ad is ugly or useless no one will want to click on it. That means because of your bad banner it could remain on the site indefinitly which isnt fair.
Dent Xpress have an ad on my site. They might not be getting any clicks but people are seeing the ad and its being embeded into their heads that Dent Xpess fixes dents. Next time you have a dent where will you think of going to fix it? What if your friend asks you if you know a place? You will think of Dent Xpress. Its an awareness ad, it doesnt need to be clicked to work.
Cool deal. you think they deal with nonkuwait based blogs?

These are 2 different mediums chief .. lets not compare apples to oranges.

Give me some credit here chief, I am in marketing for a company that’s on Interbarnd’s top 20 global brands… I am an occasional writer for Campaign, GMR and Communicate. Please don’t lecture me on advertising 🙂

Your analogy, did work well … around the second half of the 90s. But it’s all gone now.
In this interconnected world of blogger, flickr and youtube, in today’s highly cluttered space, where we are interrupted everyday at least a 100 times (radio, TV, print, outdoor ..etc) by advertisers who want nothing but our most expensive asset, our time and attention, advertisers are bending over backwards with all sorts of cosmetics, bells and whistles to make their product stand out against 10 other brands, who might be doing the same thing, and could be as good.
But guess what. Ads don’t make people choose products or services anymore. People make people chose which product or services they wanna go with.
Ads do help, I agree, in reminding people of the brand’s identity and maybe its core preposition. But Ads don’t cut the deal; Its the endorsement.
When was the last time you saw an ad for a car or a gizmo in a newspaper and said: “I am gonna buy that straight away..”?…
You would never even THINK of going to the store before calling someone you know who might have bought or tried the product, or at least before googling it yourself to check if someone did an online review of it or something.
That’s the power of the internet; the empowerment of knowledge and choice.
There is an inverse relationship between brand maturity and advertising effectiveness when in the final decision making formula. The more trust you have in any brand, advertising does little to convince you in buying something I already believe in. Thats why big brands are tougher break than relativly new ones.
At your stage, and having said the above, you can paint your entire website with dentexpress corporate colors and , I won’t never use it UNTIL I see you blogging about “you or your friend’s wonderful experience with them in fixing your car’s dent at their store.”
Maybe its time to rework that sales pitch … huh?
🙂
Yalla good night bro ..
Same Question, I did the same..
Moryarti if you want to compare CVs then I have you beat. You said if you were a client you would rather pay for clickthroughs and not impressions. That way of thinking is very late 90s when the Internet was stiill trying to find itself. This is why today top websites sell you ad space based on impressions and not clickthroughs.
With your way of thinking you wouldn’t find a place to advertise online. Major websites like CNN, Digg, Gizmodo, NYTIMES and more all sell you adspace based on impressions.
Your reply really just drags pointlessly without really tackling the issue of clickthroughs vs impressions. Try sticking on topic.
hehe… in ur case then, just sit at home and relax and wait for the cheque to come in cos im sure u get tons of vistors per day:)
I agree with Mark. I never click on ads but I see ads for Dent Xpress and 6alabat everywhere and it certainly is embedded in my head. Do I need an online review if it was a product rather than a service? Maybe. But at least the ad convinced me to research it, more than you can say for the companies who dont have ads. So, the ad worked.
I have been working with Dart Media for 4 months now and I really like their work and the results.
Mark, your are wrong 7abibi!
Major websites use PPC ( pay per click) .
digg.com, can you see the text banners at the top of the page?
This is Google AdSense, which is a contextual advertising system using PPC method to charge advertisers.
NYTimes.com also is developing contextual ads system based on matrix contextual solutions.
Check the top 10 websites at alexa ranking, at least 7 of them ( I don’t know about Chinese sites) using PPC method.
msn, yahoo, AOL, Google .. they all use PPC solutions.
abdul you are wrong.
Major websites use CPM.
Digg.com for example uses CPM. You currently see an adsense ad because they might not have an advertiser but Diggs advertising partner is Federated Media who are CPM based.
Some of Federated Medias CPM clients are:
Digg
BoingBoing
Metafilter
Uncrate
NYTimes might be developing a PPC method but they currently work on CPM.
You mentioned MSN, Yahoo and AOL. I don’t know where you got your information but the three of these are also CPM.
You need to get your facts right dude.
ok.
go to aol.com, try to search for anything (blog for example). can u see sponsord links? do you really think this is CPM based ads? 🙂
i dont know much about digg.com, but i just reloaded their main page three times, still getting google adsense 🙂
MSN, check this page
https://adcenter.microsoft.com/Default.aspx
“Pay only when people click your ads.” .. still think this is CPM ?
yahoo,
https://publisher.yahoo.com/
“Display ads related to the content on your site. You’ll earn revenue from qualified clicks.”
clicks 7abib albi .. clicks 🙂
i think i proved my point .. so their will be more comments by me .. 🙂
Abdulmohsin what the hell you wont give up?
Ok check this
Advertise on Digg
You can buy advertising on Digg through our advertising partner Federated Media.
https://www.federatedmedia.net/
Thats from Diggs site, and as i said earlier Federated media is CPM.
Secondly the link you gave me to MSN isn’t BANNERS its text ads like google adsense. If you only actually read what was written on the site you would know that.
https://fp.advertising.msn.com/WWImages/en-us/MSNKeyWords/adCenter_screen3.JPG
Finally the Yahoo link you gave me IS NOT about advertising on Yahoo, its for publishers which means bloggers and it means any blogger can put Yahoo banners on their sites but they will only get paid per clicks. If you want to advertise on Yahoo its CPM.
As I said earlier and will repeat myself again, major websites have CPM ads NOT click ads. Stop trying to prove me wrong, you will keep failing. Fuck get over it dude.
