the richest man in atherstone

I was recently made aware of a couple of website advertising networks that offer fixed payments for displaying banners on your website. They are Matched and Money4Banners.

Matched
With Matched, you submit up to five pages per website and they try to 'match' an advertiser to your website's content. For each page displaying an advert they pay you £3 per month.

Money4Banners
With Money4Banners, you select three pages from your website to display the banners. If accepted, they pay you £5 per month to display banners on the three pages plus a one-off £10 sign-up bonus.

My Experience
I have a few domain names that I secured for projects that I haven't got around to finishing and thought that I'd try the aforementioned advertising networks with one of them. The website I chose has a fair bit of niche content but not a whole lot of visitors at the moment due to lack of marketing. It already earned about a dollar (50p) per month from Google Adsense, so publishing adverts from both Matched and Money4Banners would provide a significant boost in revenue.

In early March, I subscribed to both Money4Banners and Matched and submitted my webpages to them.

Within a day or two, I had been accepted by Money4Banners and so I copied and pasted the 'ad code' into my website. A few days later I received my £10 sign-up bonus via PayPal and have subsequently received my first £5 monthly installment.

Matched are still trying to 'match' my webpages to an Advertiser, so no earnings from them.

Summary
I think that Matched and Money4Banners provide a great revenue-earning option for smaller websites or websites that serve a small niche market. As I mentioned previously, I was only earning about 50p a month from my 'test' website and Money4Banners has increased the revenue tenfold (plus an extra tenner for signing up).

I now plan on integrating this method of advertising with all my half-finished websites to bump up my monthly income from them.

I'm also considering buying a few domain names and knocking up a few quick websites specifically for serving banners. It should take about an hour to create a website with content and after a couple of months, the domain name would have been paid for leaving 10 months of pure profit

The guy who made me aware of this, Phil (a subscriber to my newsletter) earns himself around £100 each month by doing this. Great job, Phil, and thank you for sharing
