Yeah, that's me, the new guy... I'm new to internet advertising and I have no idea where to begin. I started up a website about 5 months ago and I have watched my traffic increase steadily so I think the upside is there for what I'm doing. I don't know when I should start to monetize it or how to go about it though. Ideally I would like to charge a flat rate for banner advertising but again, my knowledge on the subject is limited at best. If anyone can point me in the right direction on these forums or suggest some reading that a 'new guy' can actually decipher it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
You might want to try Site & Server Administration forum, then go over to Advertising forum. Good luck and welcome to DP.
On which Niche you had created website? Adsense is best option if they approve you and if it's about some product then you can try affiliate programs or just find your advertiser yourself. You can try here https://advertising.digitalpoint.com/
