1. Banner :
It is very important that you must have an “Advertise with us ’’ banner on your blog. You can place these banners either on side bar or top bar. Decide advertisement rates for all the banners depending on Impression. You can ask for more revenue for advertisement above the fold and less for advertisement below the fold.
2. Advertise Page:
There must be a page on your blog which gives all information about:
- About blog niche
- Updated status of your blog like PR, Alexa rank, Traffic
- Rates of Advertisement space
- Payment mode
Include a contact page so that interested advertisers can easily get in touch with you with one click. You can see an example advertisement page here at Shoutmeloud advertisement page.
3. Specific Niche:
Advertisers always try to attach to the blog of specific niche, this helps them to reach their targeted audience. You must write high quality articles and update your blog regularly to attract advertisers to your blog. That’s also one major benefit of having a niche blog over multi-niche blog.
4. Display relevant Ads :
Keeping relevant ads on your blog is the most important point. If you have a tech niche blog, you must display advertisements which are relevant to technology, it might be gadgets or software. It looks bad if you display financial advertisement on a technology blog. One reason adsense is very popular among bloggers because it shows relevant ads and that is also important for good CTR.
5. Professional blogs:
Advertisers are always attracted with professional layout of the blog. Try to choose a professional theme for your blog. Themes of White, blue or gray combination gives a professional look to your blog. Though depending on niche you can play with colors. Adding prominent ad spot also helps a lot to attract advertisers.

. My blog has PR 4 but less traffic so do you think Adverise Here page will do good to my blog? I am working on my traffic.
Yeah Shabnam, You can go ahead with Advertise Page and just keep on improving on traffic.
Another thing that can be done to attract more advertisers to blog is join some ads buying/selling networks like BuySellAds.com
Right Anil. They are worth trying ,bloggers are making good money through Buy Sell ads and such networks.
Advertisers are mostly concerned with the website or the blog’s theme. It’s better to get a professional looking theme which is free or something which costs you.
In any case as long as the blog is of good niche you should find advertisers.
First impression is your blog theme, you can take chances with it. Specially for Tech niche blogs it is always better to choose a professional theme.
Nice tips.. I think the placement of ads will also play a major role here.. Advertisers will usually prefer to advertise where people actually look…
