some help here?

What kind of advertising should I use? I mean, what company will pay me the most? I make about 100 hits a day, 4000 hits a month.. (Sometimes my site is advertised somewhere and people crowd in). My search engine listings should be up any day now, so I hope to recieve at least 500 people to the site a day. Should I go for CPA, CPM, CPC, etc.? And what company should I use? The site is in my sig. Thanks and goodbye.

with 100 it will be hard to join one of the "top" companies.
Try cp.com , leadcrunch.com , amazon.com , standard internet programs , advertwizard.

If you get +-500 visitors (UNIQUES) you could try burst.com (very good) , valueclick (good) or focusin (good).

Search Engines, Friends.

A. The search engines havent put up my site yet (ive been waiting forever)

B. Dont want my friends to think I'm a nerd.

search engines can take very long time ... it's often about 2-4months for google (most important) if u use free registration.
Altavista is quiet fast .

[shizzle]

well they havent put me up yet.

Why would they think your a nerd? Like 99% of the people use computers and are behind them alot now. I dont think you would be a "Nerd".

Me having a website though? And knowing CGI, PHP, MySQL? They still know me as the guy who goes to concerts and -----es about movies and girls. They don't know my "hidden life"

Okay, does that make yo enlightened?

[shizzle]

No.. but it gets me respect.

I think you should try search related text links. Which is considered to be CPC. Then have CPM banners. There is a lot of things you can try to make money, don't limit yourself. Try everything :) I'd suggest to go with CPC and CPM first. As it's the most EASIEST. I'd also try CPA.

i'm not a alone then :eek:

Try www.textlinks.com, its work well for alot of webmasters, also I think with 100 a day, it'll sort of hard. I get about 12,000 uniques a month and my everything off CPM is only making me ~$11 per month.

But I think fastclick will accept you if you have quality traffic.

No, what gets you respect is being your own person and never being ashamed of it. Ducking behind the curtain of "being the cool guy" is just a way to crawl into a hole and hiding from yourself.

With regards to an advertising program to use to generate revenue from your site, I recommend either Standard Internet programs for some temporary funds (thought they wont be many) or waiting and generating a quality site with lots of content and then going to advertising networks.

Just my $0.02...

They don't know my "hidden life" that's dumb. everyone i know is aware of me running many websites, and they have no problem with it... and get this: i still go to concerts and ----- about movies & girls as well! whoa! what a trip, eh?!

i guess i haven't picked superficial people to be friends with, who i need to be "cool" around 24/7 in hopes that they'll accept me.

[Archbob]

I never bought into the "cool" thing, I complain about stuff sometimes, not about movies and girls, but other stuff.

What is "cool" anyways?

[shizzle]

I told em. They don't care.
