Hi Shai!
I’m in the process of taking over ownership of Dailyblender from [delete] (YAY!) – and I’m wanting to add some advertising to the new site.
I wanted to ask, oh wise lady of online advertising, what top three or four advertisers you really recommend? I’m thinking AdSense and Amazon will be easy to add. Do you really like the OIO Publisher? Is it worth including? Any other ad networks you’ve been really happy with?
Thanks so much. I hope all is well down in Oz. Glad to see JMMO is thriving!
Regards,
Jennifer*
This is part of my revised response to Jennifer -
Hi, Jennifer.
Good to hear from you. Congratulations on making DailyBlender your own. How’s it going?
Although I can’t claim to be “the absolute expert” on online advertising, I can share with you some of my insights based on my personal experience with monetising my sites. So, to answer your questions, yes, I do love OIO Publisher. It’s a great tool to use if you wish to do direct advertising on your site. It’s not an absolute necessity, as I’ve done direct ads before without using any tool. But, OIO Publisher helps in automating a lot of the process. It’s different, of course, to do direct advertising compared to using ad programmes like Adsense. But, I really feel that it’s well worth the effort.
On other types of advertising to put on your site, it really depends on what you wish to do – and the kind of site that you have. In any case, you’re right – Adsense and Amazon are two of the most common ways to monetise a site or blog. They’re a good place to start, but it’s always best to find other options in order to make the most out of your site/blog.
Other than checking options like Chitika, my other suggestion is to have a quick look at various affiliate programmes that relate to your site’s topic. This is a bit tougher to hunt. But, one way to find a good way to find a good affiliate programme is to check out the items you enjoy using or the online shops that you love to buy from. Check if they run affiliate programmes – and test them out. Usually, I find that I earn from affiliates the best if I can happily recommend the product myself.
In any case, I hope that this helps to give you some ideas on how to get started with adding advertising on your site.
Again, thanks for writing and do keep in touch. And, I wish you and Dailyblender much success.
Regards,
Shai

Thanks dahhhling!
hello
i’ve just purchased oio publisher
do you think it will work for me?
i don’t have huge traffic
hope to hear from you soon
thank you!
and btw. would you recommend Payperpost or Loudlaunch?
Jen – You are most welcome, dahling.
Thestarlitsky – Quite a few questions to cover in one post. Not sure if I can do justice to it in this comment. So, I’ll try to answer more in another post, if I get the chance. In terms of whether or not OIO publisher will work for you – this really depends on a lot of factors – traffic, your topic, your ad prices, etc. So, I’m afraid I can’t give you a definitive answer there. On your other Q – I only ever had experience with PPP, so it’s tough for me to talk about LL. I’ll have to see if I can update you on that when I get the chance to give it a go. On PPP – just do a search on this blog for you to know what I think about it, based on my experience.
