Web Site Advertisement

Hi all,

I have a number of sites and was thinking about putting some proper ad banners on them.

My site is a Sheet Music Archive for the band Nirvana. My main page receives 400 hits a day, but there are a number of other bands catered for also, and these pages receive about 300 hits – people reaching these extra band pages do not generally do so from the Nirvana page, as all the various band pages are indexed by search engines. Therefore I get about 600 unique visitors between all my band pages.

Once a “customer” reaches a band page, they then click on a link, which displays in text, the song of their choice.

I have a new site too, which gets about 50 or so hits, but it has the potential to get much more than this. This site shows the distribution of various surnames in Ireland.

Anyway, I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice with respect to putting ads on my site.

Is it feasible considering my site hits and content? On what pages can I put Ads on? Which Ad Companies are best? How much might I expect to make? – every cent counts for an out of work programmer

I’m also a competent at Perl, that helps. I see that some sites use cookies so they can target different ads to the same visitor as they go from page to page.

Anyway my site is hosted at http://baz.perlmonk.org and the surname one is at http://baz.perlmonk.org/surnames.cgi

Thanks for your help.

Barry

Is that legal?

Anyhow.. I don't have much experience working with advertising, but you could always look into some affiliations as a very simple way to add it. Get in an affiliate program with some music and book shops and viola, you're advertising on your site.
