Using Ads To Profit From Your Website
There are many varying advertising methods available for webmasters to use on their website, ranging from the traditional banner advertisement to the newer video overlay - but what are the most profitable and effective ads to use on your website?
Third party banner ads vs. "in-house" advertisements
Depending on the popularity of your website, you'll either opt for third party banner ads or to run your own "in-house" advertising system. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but the latter is definitely the most profitable of the two.
With in-house advertising you're able to restrict what ads are displayed, how often they appear per day or hour and what the ads look like. You can also choose to only accept ads that are related to your website's niche, ultimately resulting in more received clicks. This means that with a higher CTR (click-through rate), you'll be able to charge a higher CPM (cost per thousand impressions) than what other advertising companies will pay out to you.
Contextual ads
Contextual ads are extremely profitable for any website, regardless of it's niche. All that's required is a steady stream of traffic and proper ad placement to ensure that the visitor is exposed to the ad. Unfortunately, AdSense is currently the only contextual network worth your website's advertising inventory.
Video ads
While it is a relatively new advertising method, video embedded ads are making a huge impact on the advertising industry. They are particularly useful if you have a video website -- many advertising networks offer static ads that are displayed before, during or after the video.
