Hi there, So that is the question. Is the answer simply "Have a lot of traffic" ? Please take some of the precious internet-reserved time to have a look at my forum. The link is in my signature. See the banner on top right? That's commission junction's. How do I make people buy something once they land on 3rd party website? I have about 200 clicks on that banner, but not a single sale or lead. Oh, and while you're here, do you think I should create a blog on the similar topic as my forum? Thank you so much for your time.
Webmasters convert hard. And 200 clicks aren't enough to draw any conclusions. Get some good stuff which webmasters will love. Consider some NeverBlueAds offers. Good luck!
Sorry, but banners stink. People browsing the Net just look away from them! Even with a huge traffic, you won't be able to earn from banners on a forum as much as from links in the content of a website/blog. The conversion rate will always be low with banners.
Don't ask peoplr to buy....but guide them how to make money...finally they 'll buy something from you..he..he..
