Several people asked how tgp websites make money. For all those several people out there, there’s several answers!
- Sales to sponsor fhg’s and/or banner ads.
- Sell partner accounts.
- Sell banner space.
- Sell paid listings.
- Sell traffic per click.
- Sell exits and 404 traffic.
How much will you make? That all depends on how well you organize your site and if you put any effort into it at all. If you put no effort into the content and marketing, then don’t expect to earn much money.
If you strategically place your ads and generate traffic via various marketing methods, then you’re likely to earn a pretty penny.
Sponsors pay anywhere from $9.99-$200.00 per sale pending your choice of pay per sale or revshare and if there’s a promotion period active.
Partner accounts sell for $10-$50 from my experience. You can charge what you like and you don’t have to approve anything you don’t like.
Banner space sells for whatever you wish as well, but if your asking price isn’t reasonable in relation to current trends and banner space prices, then you won’t get a sale. For example, if your site gets 100 visits per day and you ask for $1000.00 for a monthly banner spot, then you will not find a buyer unless your buyer has no idea what they’ve just been suckered into buying. I sell my banner space for approximately what I earn in each space and I provide generous discounts to people who purchase network advertising space.
Paid listings sell for $50 to a f ew thousand depending on how much traffic they send the buyer. I’ve purchased listings for $500 a month to $2000.00 a month. The key is to be able to provide a sufficient amount of traffic to make the purchase worthy for the buyer.
Traffic sales per click can generate anywhere from half cent per click to $5.00 per thousand clicks sent. If you’re having trouble converting your sponsors and you have no other buyers, then selling pay per click traffic to a traffic broker is a last resort to generating at least some income to your site.
Selling exit traffic is when you send someone to a site after they leave your site.
Selling 404 traffic is when you send the buyer to pages that conjure a 404 error. For example, someone types in your domain.com/something-here but that page doesn’t exist. Your 404 page will either have the buyers advertisement or your 404 page can redirect to the buyers own page via .htaccess redirect code.
