How can I get advertisers on my website?

You have three options: do the work yourself and sell your ad space, or hire a rep to help you sell your ad space; or use third party online advertising companies to help you sell your ad inventory.

If you are going to do it yourself, I suggest you first make a list of the companies and websites that are targeting sports enthusiasts. Then approach those businesses. If you are targeting big companies, they will refer you to their ad agencies.

Remember though that advertisers will choose to advertise on your site if you can deliver to them a good healthy return on their investment. It's all about the bottomline, afterall.

Here are what advertisers are looking for when choosing sites to use for their advertising:

a. Who are the visitors = It is important for advertisers to know whether your site's visitors are what they are after. More than just traffic numbers, they want to know whether they can get targeted traffic from your website. They want to know whether the customers they want are visiting your site.

b. Traffic levels = Advertisers will often ask you how many visitors/pageviews/uniques you get in a month. Some will go to Alexa.com to check your traffic standing (not accurate, but many see it as a good guide). If you are selling banners through CPM rates for example, they will normally ask you how long it will take you to show the 20,000 ad impressions they ordered (or how many they ordered).

c. Your rates = how comparable your rates are with others.

d. Customer service = advertisers want QUICK support from sites they want to advertise on. You need to be quick to respond to their emails, whether inquiring for your media kit or asking your ad rates or checking the performance of their ad campaigns.The key to understand is that advertisers will always look for metrics to help them gauge the ROI they can get from advertising in your website. If they don't think your site will not give them a good ROI, they will not advertise or renew their advertising on your site

e. Monitor campaign performance = advertisers want to see how their campaigns are doing on your site, so they can make decisions fairly quickly whether to change the creative, pause the campaign or increase the campaign. You need to be able to provide them with real time statistics. We use phpadsnew http://www.phpadsnew.com/ and it is just great (and FREE!).

if it is a website that was created by e-commerse then it would be $250 for I think per 150 hits per month but I may be wrong you can call them and find out if it is by them if other then you have to talk to the owner of the site and find out

Actively seek them through emails or better yet, personal meetings to sell them on your site. You have to have the taffic first to justify ads, and if it's high enough, they'll come to you.

Google Adsense is by far one of the easiest ways
