Great Ad Network for Owners of Niche Websites

I came across this ad network a couple of days ago and am impressed by how easy it is to get setup and in position to accept banner ads from larger advertisers without lifting a finger. What’s really nice is my Google ads will keep running up until the time I, or a community I’m connected with, get an advertisers to place an ad in the preset ad spot. Only upside.

Larger advertisers have a tough time reaching niches that are perfect for their products. That’s because most niches are made of small- and medium-sized websites and it’s very efficient for them to establish manage individual relationships with each of them.

This ad network solve this problem by letting Website publishers combine ad inventory through a social network-style matching system to “roll-up” their ad space into highly targeted packages that advertisers can buy across. By grouping your ad space together with a community of sites like yours, you give advertisers a way to find your site and other relevant publishers (with similar audiences) that they might not otherwise have discovered. More importantly, these advertisers can easily establish campaigns across all of these smaller sites encouraging them to do so.

The ad network is Adroll and I encourage you to check it out starting with the short video clip below. I’d also appreciate if you would check out 3 communities I’ve setup for moms and WAHMs.

Directory Submissions will Help Your Site

Directory submissions are a great way to get your Website moving up in the search engines. Here’s why:

Google, Yahoo!, MSN and other search engines use the number of links to your Website they find across the net to determine how popular your site is. It’s far from the only thing they look at, but it is an important factor. The more links pointing to your site, the more popular it must be, right? This popularity as determined by these search engines in turn helps determine where your site is shown in search results. If your site is popular and one of your important key words is “children” your site will show up higher in the results then a less popular site everything else being equal.

So links in quality Web directories let the search engines know that your site is a “contender” with links to it from other quality sites out there. The video below is a good place to start if you’re new to SEO or Web directories. Check it out.

The directories we like the most are: Moms and Big Internet Guide. And yes, we are very biased. : ) Both of these directories offer permanent links for $10 or less and they are both growing in page strength and traffic.

Project Wonderful Ad Network is Great!

Project Wonderful is a hot ad network that is spreading like wildfire. They allow publishers (website owners and-or webmasters) to easily offer space on their websites to the highest bidders. Advertisers can outbid a current advertiser and be on a desired website instantly. In addition to their ease of use for both advertisers and publishers they only take a 25% slice of the advertising dollars making them the lowest priced ad network I’m aware of.

You can find more about them here: Project Wonderful Ad Network
