They also tend to brain wash some into buying products that are both unneeded and unwanted.  They sell polictcal candidates, antigerm products which tend to make supergerms, drugs which are not really needed and the concept of He who has the Most Toys wins.\nAds will try to convince you that Here are the 'droids for which you have been looking.

I think you answered your own question.\n\nBesides, at orientation weren't we told to make cool stuff, then worry about how to make money? Perhaps this is a cool thing that simply hasn't had a money-making idea created from it yet. However, advertisement is, I think, the most probable means.

If the station has good listener/viewership, the advertising business can promote its product to the local market...the impact for the station is advertising revenue.\nI'm a broadcast major at Northwest Missouri State and we came to this conclusion...advertising=money, both for the station and the client

Yes, most advertisements use sex to sell their product.  The ones that don't use sex use fear.  Watch the next 10 commercials that you see.  You will notice how the media uses these base emotions to manipulate their consumers.  The average consumer has average intelligence and is easily persuaded.  It is important to teach your children (and anyone else who will listen) the importance of investigating the motivations of advertisers and others from whom we obtain information, such as news stations and newspapers.

YES it is essential to have a website before applying to Google Adsense. Afterall, where will you put the ads if you have no website? Plus, Google will evaluate your site if it is acceptable, and they can only do that if they have something to review.\n\nYour success with Adsense depends on the \n\n- responsiveness of audience to the ads (users looking to book a travel to Spain comes to your site about tourist destinations in Spain then clicks on an ad about hotels in Spain)\n- ad format used\n- ad placement\n- ad colors - sometimes ads blended into the content works wonders, but sometimes ads that contrast your site colors work best\n- number of ad units on a page\n- keywords shown on your site\n- level of advertiser bidding on your site - e.g. keywords "diamond" is worth more than "squirrel games" because more advertisers are willing to spend money on those interested in diamonds\n- your traffic levels - the more traffic you have, the better\n- your CTR rate - the higher the better and this depends on the responsiveness of your audience to your ads, your ad placement, your ad colors\n- smartpricing - the big unknown in Adsense\n\nOne website with the 10,000 uniques a day can earn $50 while another may earn $500. Your mileage varies. \n\nThe only way you can learn about how your site will perform with Adsense is through trying it. Suffice to say that some are doing extremely good with it and others do not. I am earning in 2 months with Adsense what I earn in a year as an economist.\n\nGoogle Adsense: How Small Business Entrepreneurs can Earn from Online Advertising http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol123/adsense.htm \nEarning Revenues from Contextual Advertising http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol139/contextual.htm \n8 Tips for Maximizing Contextual Advertising Revenues http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol146/contextual.htm \nContextual Advertising: Why Are You Earning Only Pennies? http://www.powerhomebiz.com/022006/adsense.htm

For general advertisements, I much prefer text links to click on.  They are quicker to load and if I am playing my own music or running other software, they don't interfere.  I will steer clear of all flash and audio advertisements because they tend to disrupt what I am currently doing.\n\nI do prefer picture advertisements when considering buying a product, as long as they don't take too long to load (you know the type, the huge pictures that take an hour to appear on screen).  \n\nI would suggest definately staying away from audio as the audio ad's are just plain annoying.  Flash ad's, while cool looking, aren't compatible with all systems and can be annoying as well.\n\nSometimes keeping things simple and easy to use, easy to see, and easy to understand...is the best way to go.  Fancy is not always better.

commercials now a days have no relevance to the product.. it makes u think about the product doesnt it... thats what the advertisers want... to think about it.. and go buy it... or talk about it.. its their advertisement.

If the ad is emotional and sensitive, people are more attracted. Some ad with ugly visuals will not reach them.Any ad with children will always give more response.Colourful locations are added advantage for a beautiful ad and also the lovely jingles.

You should have some background to how the ads have helped businesses in the past. Any research under your belt would help and so will the ratign of the radio station. You mut have a pleasing personality and some samples to play to potential businesses. Proof is in the pudding they say so if you can show results past or present that would be good.\nWishing you the best.

The design is great, a little more work on the content would be great. Also the ads can really turn somebody blind :)

In our website, we sell advertising space - both banners via CPM, sponsored text links, and newsletter advertising. In our experience, here are what advertisers are looking for when choosing sites to use for their advertising:\n\n1. Who are the visitors = It is important for advertisers to know whether your site's visitors are what they are after. More than just traffic numbers, they want to know whether they can get targeted traffic from your website. They want to know whether the customers they want are visiting your site.\n\n2. Traffic levels = Advertisers will often ask you how many visitors/pageviews/uniques you get in a month. Some will go to Alexa.com to check your traffic standing (not accurate, but many see it as a good guide). If you are selling banners through CPM rates for example, they will normally ask you how long it will take you to show the 20,000 ad impressions they ordered (or how many they ordered).\n\n3. Your rates = how comparable your rates are with others.\n\n4. Customer service = advertisers want QUICK support from sites they want to advertise on. You need to be quick to respond to their emails, whether inquiring for your media kit or asking your ad rates or checking the performance of their ad campaigns.The key to understand is that advertisers will always look for metrics to help them gauge the ROI they can get from advertising in your website. If they don't think your site will not give them a good ROI, they will not advertise or renew their advertising on your site\n\n5. Monitor campaign performance = advertisers want to see how their campaigns are doing on your site, so they can make decisions fairly quickly whether to change the creative, pause the campaign or increase the campaign. You need to be able to provide them with real time statistics. We use phpadsnew and it is just great (and FREE!).\n\nAs to what rate to charge, the amount depends on a number of factors:\n\n- Who is your audience and how desirable is your audience to the advertisers? If your audience are techies or those who have the propensity to purchase higher-ticket items, then you can charge a higher price as compared to an audience of students.\n\n- What is the rate of comparative websites in your niche? You don't want to overprice yourself out of the market yet you don't want to undercharge as well\n\n- What is the rate advertisers are willing to pay in your site? You may charge $5 per CPM and yet for months nobody's taking you on the rate even though you may get inquiries -- this implies that advertisers think your rate is too expensive. But if you charge $0.50 per CPM and advertisers are flooding in, then you may be too cheap and can afford to increase your rate.\n\n- What is the CPM you get from other advertising vehicles? Do you run Google Adsense, and if so, what is your effective CPM rate with them? Or if you run banner ads through ad networks like Burst Media, Valueclick or Tribal Fusion, what is the CPM you're getting? You can use those values to help you gauge your rate.\n\nSince you're just starting in the game, experiment and see what rate the market will bite. You can start at $1 per CPM and see how it goes.\n\nIn terms of accepting payment, majority (99.8%) of those who will advertise will pay by credit card so make sure you have your own merchant account as well as Paypal.
