Direct advertising is the way popular sites make their money. So how can you take advantage of that? What you need to do is create a site that looks like it is popular but not do all the work required to make it actually popular.
A site’s popularity is measured through Page Rank and Alexa ranking. Page Rank is Google’s measure of how valuable your site is. Alexa ranking is a basic estimate of your traffic compared to other sites on the web.
So in order to get as many high paying ads as possible, you need to get a high PR (page rank) and get a low Alexa ranking.
Here is how you can profit from advertising.
Create a site with some funny videos, pictures and articles. You can get a free template many places.BTemplates

You need to find a great template! One of the most important things is to make the site look good. The site needs to look like a professionally made site that people will visit frequently.
Don’t just throw something up. Work to make it look well established. Especially since this is the only work, you will do.
Now that you have a great looking site, you need to “get” some traffic.
What you are going to do is buy 100,000 visitors to your site. This will generally cost about $25-$50. All you need is to get one ad and that will offset the cost of the traffic.
The 100,000 visitors will be delivered a little bit each day for a month. This means you should be getting about 3,000 visitors a day and each month you will be getting 100,000 visitors to your site.

Once you are getting 100,000 visitors a month, you should have a pretty good Alexa ranking. But here is the key. I have seen this method one or two places before and they fail to mention a very important piece.
Alexa ranking is based on the Alexa toolbar. Views really only count if the person who visits your site has the Alexa toolbar installed. The fake views you will be buying won’t have the toolbar installed. Granted you will have a decent ranking since you get 100,000 views a month. But this tip right here will increase your earnings and could increase them a whole lot.
You need to put an Alexa widget on your site, which is a little box that displays your current Alexa ranking. If you have the Alexa widget on your site, every view counts. Doing this will lower your Alexa ranking by 25%! You can get the code for an Alexa widget here
The lower your Alexa ranking, the higher people will pay for an ad on your site.
Getting a good page rank is almost optional but it makes your site look much better to have a PR of at least 2.
Luckily, there is an easy way to do it. Sign up for LinkMetro and submit your site.
On the front page, there are ten or so popular links that all have high PR. Offer to trade with all of them. Then go to your category and offer to trade links with sites that have a PR of at least 2.
You should have 20 or so sites with a decent PR linking back to you. This should give you a PR of at least 1 or 2 at the next page rank update,
Now your site is ready to start earning. Sign up for AdBrite and Linkworth.
AdBrite
AdBrite sells text and banner ads on your site. Banner ads are CPM. That means you are paid a flat rate for every thousand views. You are going to make 100 times whatever the CPM is because you get 100,000 views a month. That means if an advertiser is offering $2 for every thousand views, you will make $200 from that one ad.
Text ads pay a flat rate per month. However, you are going to use the banner ads from AdBrite and get some flat rate ads from Linkworth.
Linkworth
Linkworth sells text ads at a flat rate per month. You are going to sell 25 links at $20 each, which is $500 a month.
So log into Linkworth and go to the “my sites” tab. Then go to the “add a site” link.
You will have to give the standard stuff: Title, URL, Description, Category, Tags and Language. You will also have to give your sites monthly visits. Set this at 100k to 500k. There is also a space for extra information. If you have a page rank this is the place to put it. Just say “This site has a Page Rank of…”.
Leave “Additional Website Details” at the default settings. Then you move onto setting what ads you will offer and set your prices.
The only kind of ads you want to offer are “LinkAds”. So select “I want to offer LinkAds only”. It will then give you the option to set prices. Go to the bottom and set the site run price. Choose Custom Price and set it to $20.
Now when people buy an ad from you it will appear all over your site and people will pay $20 a month.
Make sure you don’t offer any of the other ad types on the page. Add your website and you’re ready to earn from Link Worth.
Time to setup Adbrite. Sign into Adbrite. Find the link to manage your ad zones. Click on the link that says, “create new zone”.
The first page will allow you to pick what kind of ads you want to run. In the top box, select the button for banner ads. Then unselect the check boxes for full-page ads and in text ads.
On the second page, you can set the ad specs. You don’t need to change any colors. You do need to pick the size of the ad.
This chart will show you where you show put your 10 ads for Adbrite as well as your Linkworth links.
You also need to change whether you want to auto-approve ads. You do not want them to auto approve ads because you don’t want any text ads, only CPM banner ads.
On the third page, you will again need to put in the basics about your site, such as title, URL, description, keywords, and category. Just put the same stuff you put for Linkworth.
The next page is called pricing options but all they will ask you is whether you use other advertising networks. Just say no and click next. They will give you an ad code. You need to put these where the diagram says.
Now you will have 10 ad spaces from Adbrite that should make you at least $100 each and 25 links from Linkworth making you around $20 each.
This means you will earn $1500 a month.
If you are getting tons of requests from Linkworth, try raising the price of your ads. Raise it to $30 or $35. This will earn you an extra $400 a month. Always pick the best paying banner ads from Adbrite and you will be earning tons of easy cash.
