I've got traffic, but how do I find good advertisers?

    Having used Google Ads for some time, I have recently been approached by a paying advertiser. Apparently this is because I'm averaging about 400 visitors a day. Where do I go to look for other advertisers? (If it helps, the site is an informative one related to careers and employment.) Any suggestions gratefully received. Cole

    If you're interested in selling some ad space on your own website - do so by creating a thread here at DP. Will do wonders!

    The same thing happened to me. I was selling my ad space on a network, eventually they started contacting me directly.

    You mean that if I write precisely that ('I am willing to sell space on my site'), then people will find it via a search?
    Is there any danger of it messing up the current key word traffic content?

    People usually find you, as some people already mentioned, if you have enough traffic.

    Of course you can try affiliate programs also, where you usually get a certain percent of the sales you generate.

    I work for a CPM banner company. We will buy your ad space if you are interested. We only sell 88x31 button banners and are steadily expanding. Weekly payments via PayPal if needed. $0.10 per 1000 unique daily impressions. You can search Button Brokers via Google for the site. Apply and I can get you set up to go quickly.

    If you have enough traffic, you can list it on AdPatron, which allows you to sell your ad space commission free.

    I agree, DP works well, don't pay a commission to Ad Networks, you can partake this manually
