Hi guys, I’ve got a few questions about web advertising.
I’m not sure about the terms and jargon, so it’s best that I represent them in a case. Say for example, ACME Advertising Agency expressed their interested to advertise in www.somewebsite.com. The advertisements is about GreasyBurger Co. and it will displayed on somewebsite.com for 15 days. Here’s the question.
Does GreasyBurger Co. advertisements on somewebsite.com consumes bandwidth and space on somewebsite.com’s server?
Are advertisements materials such as pictures, animation, etc stored in somewebsite.com’s server or is it stored in ACME’s server instead?
How does an owner of a website charge advertisers? Are advertisers charged by the number of days the ads will be displayed or something else?
Suppose if a somewebsite.com experienced a downtime or does not meet the requirements of the ACME in the duration of the ads being displayed, how does somewebsite.com make up to it? Are they suppose to refund or provide other forms of compensation?
How does ACME keep track of ads that are being displayed on somewebsite.com and how do they know if the the clicks come somewebsite.com?
Thanks in advance.
*This question is not about making money from home etc. I just want to know how online advertising works.
there is no one answer. Except chances are the bandwidth is not coming from the somwebsite.com but a third party is hosting the advertising content.
There are many third party things like this: a few are:http://advertising.yahoo.com/
adwords
Even MySpace will allow you to advertise if you get in contact with htem.
Smaller website often have a third party selling the advertising space for them– but not all are that way.
Like I said, huge vauge answers until you study it on a per-site-basis.
