Opening Statement

This is a tricky process that will require you to do some experimenting. While the advice I provide is very useful, the smartest thing you can do is to either apply for affiliate programs that will rotate banners for you so that you can find out witch banners recieved the most click throughs, or you can put a few banners ranging in topics on your website for a week and compare them to see how well each one performed.

Usefull Suggestions

There isn't a code book I can sell you on this, this one is tricky. The first step is to take the time to really look over your website, and see what kind of people would be interested in going to it. You can't just say that everyone will be interested in going to your website because that is not true, everyone is not a potential client, while you might think that the internet is more of a mass media, it is very personal, only people who will want what your page has to offer is potential clients. You have to remember this because it is very important, be respectfull of your viewers, give them advertisements that they are going to want to visit, and they will visit them and you will make money in the process, but if you pick advertisements that they don't want, they won't click on them and as far as they are concerned it's just slowing download time. You are not going to be able to make money off of a website if you design the website for you. You want to make it appealing to your viewers, because they are the key to makeing your money, in reality there makeing money for you so make there experience on your website as enjoyable as possible. So I hope you realize who your website is for. Let's continue.
Is your website for children? then you might want to try advertising for some video game company's, or paintball equipment. The trick of course is to figure out what your target audience will like. It's not as easy as it might seem. One idea that works is asking them what they want. Post your email adress, or a survey on your website to find out what kind of things that they are interested in besides what your website is about, witch brings us to our next topic. Because your viewers are on your website that means that they are interested in what your website is about, so that means its a good idea to get some affiliate programs up that are on topic with your website, so if your website is about making money from your website, put affiliate programs up that have to do with makeing money on your website. So now you hopefully know who to target your advertisements towards your viewers, so get out there and put some affiliate programs up on your website, but remember don't over do it, no one likes to look at a website with more advertisements then it has content. 1-3 affiliate programs per page should be a rule of thumb to follow.
