The truth about media buying is you can lose money just like you can with anything else in business and marketing. What's funny is that this is the criticism you hear the most often about it. That plus it doesn't work anymore and there's banner blindness, etc. When you have experience, though, making seven figures a month through media buying is not unheard of. But you have to be open to an education and sometimes getting your hands dirty in order to get there.

One of the worst things that can happen to an advertiser, particularly you, is to have an ad be displayed on a processing page. A processing page is the intermediate page in a process like checking out or making a payment. One more example of this is filling out a form and having multiple pages in the process. Think about it: aren't most people focusing on getting the form filled out? They won't feel any interest in banners because they are going to want to finish the process as fast as they are able to get through it. So try to remember this and check out the page on which your ad is going to run. When a site owner tells you that your ad will be placed on an internal page, stick with them until you know exactly which page will be running the ad. Make sure that you stay firm and be as direct as possible about where you want your ad to run. Using link building tools like Ultimate Demon to drive more visitors to your site may be a good idea.
There are good and bad ways to talk to the people you are trying to buy media from. You need to familiarize yourself with the jargon and proper things to say.

You want them to be very clear about this because it makes a difference with the price you negotiate. Lower rates may be possible depending on what it is that you're attempting to do. The purpose of your campaign is what you need to focus on. The more of them you do, the better a feel you'll get of them, particularly the gray area of media buy negotiations. It has been shown that media buying works with not only regular products and services, but affiliate sales as well. If this is going to work, you have to pick the right products when you do this. Likewise, you can fail with your product, or the one that you promote, if it's the wrong product. You don't have to buy ads to know this is true.
