This post is from from my other blog here Do you have a Mom-oriented website or blog? Trying to make some extra money through Google's adsense, affiliate marketing or link campaigns? Here's something we can help each other with - a "Vertical Advertising Network". This kind of network is a bunch of websites and/or blogs that are related by something in common - a common theme, common material, groups, authors or locations. Large advertisers don't typically have the enthusiasm for negotiating advertising rates individually with many small sites, and therefore tend to miss a large "niche" segment of consumers who very well may be interested in their products. When these niche sites all band together and offer their collective website traffic to an advertiser, everyone benefits, the advertiser is able to make a single "buy", and individual website owners get better ads (therefore more likely to be clicked on, and earning some residuals). We've started a vertical network like this, leveraging a service called "Adroll". We've started an "advertising community" called "Work at Home Moms" leveraging this service - find out more about it, join up for free, and put your website traffic to better use! Just click on the Adroll box over on the right side of our blog page - the one that says "We're Related". |
