Music oriented site

[wct]

Hi
Any suggestions on advertisers for a music (hip hop, rnb, alternative) news and radio site.
Expecting eventually around 2000-3000 hits a day with updated news and music.



Thanks

You might want to join CJ.com. There are lots of music related affiliate programs in there. Some have also done well with AllPosters.com affiliate program. If you plan to sell CDs, you might want to give Amazon a try because you can easily create direct product links.

Hope this helps. Good Luck on your endeavor.

If you are looking for alternative affiliation offers check out this company called LoudEye.

http://www.loudeye.com/radio/affiliates.html

They recently just acquired "theDial" which I used on my website and other sites like FortuneCity.com used.

This company basically lets you have your own professional looking streaming audio radio station with live music with all the different music styles to choose from.

How it benefits LoudEye: They get audio advertising time between every 2 - 3 songs.

How it benefits you: You get a co-branded audio player that looks like its just another part of your website. Plus you get to choose what music stations to have play for your audience. Plus you get some of the audio advertising space to yourself.

Now I apologize if any of this has changed since LoudEye took over because this is how it was with "theDial". But just thought you'd like to look into something that offers more content to your users and possible advertising possibilities for you!

You should join various affiliate programs that sell cd's, and pay per click search engines are also good because you can enter the name of an artist and your visitors would click on listings that they are interested in.

Here is a list of pay per click search engines:
1. Snooply.com
2. Overture.com
3. Goclick.com
4. kanoodle.com
5. ah-ha.com

Here is a list of CD affiliate programs:
1. amazon.com
2. cdnow.com
3. cj.com <- webmaster ad network

Good Luck!
