<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">First...what is advertising real estate? Since there is only so much space on a web page (okay so technically there is nearly unlimited space on a web page, but being realistic, there is only so much that is considered quality space) advertising real estate, is that space that a network creator allocates to advertising.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">A few of tips before moving forward:</span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Too much advertising can take away from the site visitor's experience and too little can be lost revenue. Finding a balance that works for your demographic is key.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Work within your chosen web design. Placing advertising in awkward places on the site just to draw attention can be counter productive. Yes, you may get a visitor's attention, but by diminishing their experience on your site can be a huge negative.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The key to success in advertising revenue is going to be return site visitors. The amount of effort and cost to get a new visitor to your website can be very costly and usually is. Keeping a balance of new visitors vs returning visitors is key. The balance and mix of these two variables is dependent on the site business model. For a social network, heavy percentage on return visitors is a must. If they aren't returning, something is wrong.</span></li>
</ol>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Okay, so how to manage the ad space? First, what are the variables that affect ad space?</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">They are:</span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Ad size</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Ad placement</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Ad cost</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Ad exposure</span></li>
</ol>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">In a nutshell there are just four variables to consider. Let's break each one down.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">First,</span> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_banner#Standard_sizes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Ad size</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">. Ad size is defined by the actual space that the ad will occupy on the web page. Whether placing graphics-based or text-based advertisements, the space requirement should be considered. Banner ads are typically sized by</span> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">pixels</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">, so for example, a 160x600 banner requires 160 pixels for the width and 600 pixels for the height.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Second, Ad placement. There are many combinations that can be used with regard to ad placement. The typical placement on a Ning network will be the right column. This space will receive the highest exposure because nearly every page on the network will have this column visible. It is also easy to manage by simply placing a text box and adding a banner image. Network creators can also easily place ads in all three columns on the network homepage. With bit more work, posting ads in the header, footer, and content areas, can be done; however, at present this will require a bit of javascript code and may offer some unpredictable outcomes.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Third, Ad cost. In determining how much to sell advertising space for, there are numerous considerations.</span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">What are the demographics of the site?</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Who could benefit from advertising?</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Do I charge</span> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_per_click"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">CPC</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">, or</span> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_per_impression"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">CPM</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">?</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">How much traffic does this network generate?</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Where will the ad be placed, (for example</span> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Above_the_fold"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">above the fold</span></a> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">or below)?</span></li>
</ol>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This consideration (ad cost) can be expanded even further, but I will leave that for the comments.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Forth, Ad exposure. Ad exposure has four basic variables. They are:</span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">How many times an ad is seen by an individual.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">How often an ad is seen by an individual.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The geographical location of the individual seeing the ad.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The time the ad is being seen by an individual.</span></li>
</ol>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">There are additional variables, like age, gender, browser type, etc., but those are beyond the scope of this discussion and can be explored in the comments.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Managing the complexity of advertising space can be daunting if not properly equipped. for the task.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">For this reason, I recommend,</span> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.google.com/dfp/info/welcome.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Google Ad Manager</span></a> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">as a solution for managing your advertising campaigns. This robust solution offers handy tools for managing your campaign along with providing confidence in reporting for your advertisers.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">What experiences do you have regarding generating revenue via an advertising model?</span></div>

</div>Round Up From SXSW For Creatorshttps://creators.ning.com/blogs/round-up-from-sxsw-for2010-03-20T01:00:00.000Z2010-03-20T01:00:00.000ZDShanhttps://creators.ning.com/members/DShan<div><p>Hey guys! So I was one of the lucky winners to spend some time with Ning down in Austin, and I just wanted to drop in to give some feedback from the perspective of Creators.<br />
<br />
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://sxsw.com/interactive">SXSW</a> is billed as a Tech Conference, but it's really a Festival. I think what that means to Creators is the following...<br />
<br />
This is aimed towards those who are interested in <span style="font-weight: bold;">making money</span> via your network, and feel ready to do that (big audience, big traffic, unique segment of a market). I know that's not everyone, but I feel like it'd be one major agenda that might drive you to consider going to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://sxsw.com/interactive">SXSWi</a> if you haven't been.<br /></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Industry People:</span> Austin is all about people. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Everyone is there.</span> Bloggers, Company Founders, marketing teams, PR people, advertising people, and thought leaders. There's lots of educational and non-profit conversations happening. If you wanted to meet them, hear from them, or pitch them (in a non-pitchy way), Austin is a great opportunity. I'd build a list of hopeful meetings, reach out beforehand to set a few coffee chats up, and then spend your time there using <a rel="nofollow" href="http://foursquare.com">Foursquare</a>/<a rel="nofollow" href="http://gowalla.com">Gowalla</a>/<a rel="nofollow" href="http://twitter.com">Twitter</a> to track down the one's you don't have on your schedule.</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Feedback:</span> The early adopter crowd is there in full force. They're willing to hear your ideas, your community dynamics, and your story. Literally everyone there has a story, and is open to share it in exchange for yours. There's no reason to be shy, because rather than criticize or shoot you down, you'll get valuable feedback and insight into what else is happening in your space.</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Promotions/Marketing:</span> I was really underwhelmed at the 'buzz building' tactics in Austin this year, despite the opportunity. With 15,000 early adopters/open minded geeks walking around, all carrying with them an audience of interested parties, you can really make a bang with very little COST. It's more a matter of doing something really innovative. Perfect example: the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Ning</span> team hands out <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ningrvip.com/events/pie-day-and-office-hours-with">free pie slices during their 'office hours'</a>...and they were not only gone in short time, but generated buzz that I heard for the next 24 hours at parties and via twitter.</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Parties:</span> Parties are a big, big part of the agenda down there. Problem is that they're expensive and exclusive, generally. Thing is, the best ones happened off the radar. If you want to bring people together to talk about you or your community, do that in a social setting 'off campus'.</li>
</ol>
<p>I'm sure there's more, but that's a lot. If anyone has questions, just let me know...I'm happy to share!</p>
</div>Where to Find Advertisers: post ads and earn moneyhttps://creators.ning.com/blogs/where-to-find-advertisers-post2009-12-08T14:15:24.000Z2009-12-08T14:15:24.000ZBenjamin Brandaohttps://creators.ning.com/members/BenjaminBrandao<div><p>Finding the right ads to post is easy... if you know where to find the advertisers. To help save you some time, or maybe give more work then you were expecting, here is a list of 232 Affiliate Ad Networks. I personally have experience as an Advertiser on Commission Junction and multiple internal affiliate programs for my employer. As a part-time affiliate publisher in my free time, I get links to monetize my personal sites and Ning Networks from Commission Junction, LinkShare, PepperJam, Amazon Associates.<br />
<br />
Links to apply to all of these networks plus reviews and opinions from other affiliate marketers on which is the best programs or ad networks to work with, I find OfferVault to be extremely thorough<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.offervault.com/" target="_blank">.</a> That site will also help you find which network the company you want to promote is found on and where they are paying the most.<br />

<p>I personally prefer the convenience of working with the networks, but remember, companies with internal affiliate programs pay more then those that are listed on ad networks. The ad networks will charge an extra 20 - 30% fee to the advertisers on top of your commission per transaction. So that means if you can partner directly with the company you can earn 20 - 30% more.<br />
<br />
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://pm.web.com" target="_blank">Website Hosting Affiliates</a> earn $90 - $150 per sale, among the most profitable type of ad you can run. Often retail affiliate programs only provide a 10 - 30% commission; average sale less then $100. But don't be discouraged by smaller commissions per transaction, a popular retailer, especially one your audience is interested in, can generate significant traffic and commissions, from your members online shopping.<br />
<br />
<b>Strategy Tip:</b>One idea that plays on affiliate ads is to start a page for Member Discounts. Collect the best coupons and special offers you can find then keep your members updated with online savings to help them pinch their pennies. Not only will this strategy ad valaue to your network's content, it will give your members another reason to return frequently to check out the latest deal that you have uncovered.<br />
If anyone finds a great printable coupon affiliate program. Please write a review, as I am in the search for the best places to find that type of offer to run.Happy Ninging,ben</p>
