Looking to Advertise banner on site

ethomps · #1 05-31-2005, 07:12 PM

Hello Guys,

I am 15 years old, rookie I know. I would like to advertise my Party Poker affiliate banner on any site that would be very cheap, or even offer a free trial to see how things go. Let me know of any sites that would be good to advertise on.

Thanks,

Eric

hello ethomps. Any site that you can put a banner on that is cheap will be totaly worthless to you. Your best bet is to build a site, even if it's just a few pages to start and optimize and add to the site over time. I have bought traffic, bought banner ads and done PPC, but the guys making the good money are doing SEO and some here do offline stuff effectively.

Ya, you aren't going to get anywhere fast with banner advertising cheap. You have to target your audience very highly for it to be effective.

Thanks guys, I have no clue how to make a website. Is there any established websites out there. I am looking to spend about $1000.

Look into buying Microsoft Frontpage or Dreamweaver (Spelling?). If you can use Word, you can learn Frontpage. I think it costs around $100 to $150, hosting is available for less than $10 a month and a domain is less than $10. Then invest the money you save into some offline advertising. Read the marketing post pinned at the top of the forums for some ideas.

Try blogger.com and do a Google search on "html tutorials".

I really don't think you're going to see a lot of success promoting online poker unless you try to develop some webmaster skills. I'm not saying that to be harsh, but affiliate programs like Party's are pretty much aimed at webmasters.

Of course Randy is correct. When I started I knew nothing about HTML, and still know very little, but by using frontpage you can look at the code and I have learned some code from that.
