Planning to sell advertising as a form of monetizing a website is best handled as a comprehensive effort with a set plan, and stages to its implementation. Therefore, sometimes a plan to sell advertising for a website involves dramatic enhancements to the property. Remember big brands love to align themselves with other big brands, or websites that appear to be big brands.
Websites carrying advertisements must have the proper, common ad sizes (Interactive Advertising Bureau sets these standards) and the ads must appear in desirable, and consistent locations throughout the site. Major advertisers will design sets of ads based on common ad sizes, and thus the ad locations on client websites have to be consistent with advertising industry norms.
Next, the site must be able to provide regular, accurate accounting of ads delivered and the ability to optimize campaigns for advertising clients. This involves securing recognized ad serving software or services, and having staff to oversee the campaigns and make sure the ads, and the locations on the sites they are placed, work for the ad client.
