5 Things Not To Do When Advertising On Your Blog

by Ramkarthik

Ever wondered as a blogger how to advertise and how not to? There are few things which you should not do when advertising in your blog/website. The following are the 5 things not to do when advertising on your blog:

1. Don't place ads at lower places:

When it comes to comes to the placement, you should place the ads where people can see it well. You should try placing your ads in top or right/lest side of your content. Your readers should be able to see it without scrolling.

2. Don't place your referral ads with the paid advertising:

I have seen few blogs which has their referral ads like Text link ads and others placed together with the paid ones. There are blogs which say Featured sites and have their referral ads to show that they have advertisers. By doing this you are only losing the opportunity of getting new ads.

3. Don't keep the prices costly:

When your blog is doing well and many advertisers are approaching you, you might ask for very high prices. You can increase a little but not too much. To check what is the correct price for an advertisement in your blog, you can calculate it using the Text Link Ads Tool. It shows you the best price. You can also calculate it on the basis of Cost per 1000 page views.

4. Don't Advertise Bad/Unrelated Sites:

If your blog is about money making and blogging tips or it is about technology, you should place the ads related to your niche and you should not be placing Gambling sites which will pay more. Placing such sites might even get you some bad results.

5. Don't Display all those Flash And Animation Ads:

These type of ads will get your advertisers a very good result. But using that on your blog will lead you to losing your daily readers. It is a distraction for your readers. You should care for your readers. After all without them your blog won't be having much page views. So place only the simple and effective ads.
