Terry's Computer Tips - Advertising

Ready to advertise?

You can advertise on my TerrysComputerTips.com website, in my Terry's Computer Tips email newletter, and/or on my TerryStockdale.com website. Contact me by email.

You might choose to have your ad positioned a top banner, a bottom banner, or in the left- or right-side columns. Similarly, your ad program may be focussed on specific pages or groups of pages. Contact me and describe what you'd like to do.

For the Terry's Computer Tips newsletter, currently you can have plain text ads with links in the emailed newsletter and the option of text and/or images ads in the on-line newletter version. At this time, I do not plan to insert ad images into the emailed newsletters, which include "Just For Subscribers" content in addition to the table of contents and announcement of a new on-line issue.

A Note about Advertising

In the early days of web advertising, website owners were paid based on the number of times they displayed an ad. Advertising techniques and pricing evolved fairly quickly.

One result was "pay per click" advertising, which is the way some of today's web advertising works. The advertiser pays the website owner because someone (a prospective buyer or user of his website) visits his site by clicking on an advertisement. Google "Adsense" ads work this way, and occasionally include non-paying "public service ads", too. Yahoo created the Yahoo Publisher Network during 2005 to compete with Google's Adsense. And, there are much smaller PPC ad programs.

Sometimes, ad pricing is based on the sales that result from the ad. Most advertising on the web today is actually "affiliate advertising". The web site publisher signs up with the individual company or with an affiliate clearing house. Then, they are able to put the related ads on their web site. With affiliate advertising, the web site owner only gets paid if someone clicks on the ad and then buys something! Text ads labelled "Ads by Terry" are affiliate ads, as are most of the other ads on this site.

Other advertisers may pay a fixed price for display of their ads. And, finally, some ads provide no payments of any kind and are there because I want to advertise the event or service.

Advertising on Terry's Computer Tips

This site and my email and online newsletters are supported by advertising. Many product links on this site, whether labelled as advertising or not, and with the exception of ads by Google, Yahoo! and Chitika, are affiliate links for which I will receive a commission on a sale.
