Hey there everyone,

I am now at the point where I want to approach advertisers to place ads on the site.I already have two advertisers, new the marketing guys over at there, but how do I go about appraoching new advertisers? The scope is very large and there are many companies to contact. What would the community suggest? Email? Phone?All help and suggestions much appreciated.Kind Regards,Schalk Neethling

That`s what they do. David Jackson

Thanks for the information. Trying to sign up there but their captcha is broken on both the sign up and contact form. Are these the best guys in the business for small business website owners? Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Schalk

What would people suggest, maybe try some of these on different areas of the site and see which service has the highest return and switch or dedicate to one service for a certain amount of time?

Try one service for a few months. If you`re not satisfied with it, switch to something else. Also, Google has written an  excellent primer for ad placement.  This information would apply, whether you use Adsense or another adserver service.

Schalk, never exchange links with anyone whose site isn`t relevant to yours. It will hurt you in the search engines. Search engines are big on relevancy, and there`s absolutely no relevancy between your site and speedyeoh`s site that I can see.
