How to Donate Free Banner Space

If you have your own website, you can donate free banner advertising space to companies or organizations. Banner ads are advertisements posted on websites and clicked on by internet users. Such ads can be used to advertise a product or service, promote a cause or provide information. Once you click on the ad, you will be taken to a new website or page that has more information about a company, product, service, organization or cause.

Instructions

1. Decide which pages you want to use for banner ads. The space you donate can be on one page of your website, such as the homepage, or it can be on multiple pages. The best pages to put the banner ads on are the ones that are visited most often.

2. Create space on your website for the banner ads. Banner ads can be placed along the side of the information on your website, or along the top or bottom of your website pages.

3. Decide how long you want to keep each banner ad on your website. Since you are donating the space, you can decide how long it stays. For example, you might keep an ad up for one month before putting up another one. This way, you can donate the space to many organizations or companies throughout the course of a year, instead of just one.

4. Contact organizations or companies that you want to donate the free banner space to. These can be places that promote causes you believe in or offer products or services that you feel deserve more exposure. You can find contact information for the companies or organizations on their websites.

5. Ask to be transferred to the person who is in charge on internet advertising, such as placing banner ads. Explain that you are offering to donate free banner ad space on your website, and do not forget to mention how long you are donating the space for.

Tips & Warnings

• When contacting companies or organizations, be clear that you want to donate banner space. Explain that you are not trying to sell them anything, and it is more likely that you will be transferred to the person in charge of placing banner ads on the internet.
