Hello,
I am the creator of www.ukfreepages.co.uk. A site where you can get a free web page and directory entry.
The site is currently promoted using google adwords and banner advertising. I have over 100 registered users. I am trying to get the site promoted in the press.
Because the site is general I need to know how to attract advertisers to my site. One of the benefits of advertising is that you get your advert shown on someone elses web page. The idea being that serious users will promote their own web pages and thus be promoting the adverts.
Because I have limited space on web pages I have to make careful use of advertising space. I think that advertising by county would be of most benefit to my advertisers and pages in their own counties will show their adverts. Do you think this is the best way to target my advertising?
I need a way to encourage users to sign up for advertising and could either charge a fixed monthly fee for advertising or could implement a pay per click advertising system. If i opted for pay per click users would need to pay me a small amount in advance which would be held in an account and be debited when their adds are clicked. I could base the pay per click charge on the number of web pages on which their advert appears, or i could implement a bidding system.
What do you think? Am I on the right track? Do you think pay per click takes the risk out of
advertising?
Any opinions very welcome as they will reflect the development of my website.
Cheers
Richard Pearson
