Hi, If I have a directory that is getting a few uniques per day (not many at all, 400 or so unique visits a day) then does anyone have an opinion on a banner network that could be used to monitisie the site a little? Just looking at ways of the directory earning a bit extra to throw back into promoting it really, so needn't be a lot
Ive tried, hosting, domains and other directory related banners, none of them worked. If i was going to add anything id add adsense, but its not exactly a winner on most directories either. What needs to be remembered is if its a general directory (im assuming) what are most visitors going there for? my guess is mostly to submit or reaching it as a visitor by accident while searching for something. It might be a different case for a niche directory (dont know for sure) but if you had a web hosting directory then you might get more joy from placing some web hosting banners as you know the people either are looking for web hosting or wanna read about it.
Your best bet is to sell the banner to some directory submission service ;-). You can also try to banner exchange systems to trade some traffic to your 'other' sites.
