Placing Ads on My Site 4

[kfgjn43]

Hi. I have a web application I made, here:

http://www.advantage-computer.biz/tools/HTML Editor

(It works best in IE.) It's a web-based HTML editor, so I think it may become popular. I'm looking to get paid for placing ads on that page. Does anyone have any advertisers that they prefer and would like to recommend? I don't mind if they place banner ads or pop-ups. I'd prefer non-malicious ads, though. Thanks for any help.

It tends to work best the other way, once you have a website with many visitors, the adverts will come to you.

Why not look at the big players?

Google, Bing and Yahoo.

Just search on each site for

"Put <company> ads on my webpage."

I must say that trying to promote your product is probably your primary goal, and the adverts are secondary. Saying that I think you very much should care whether it is banner or pop-ups. Pop-ups are incredibly annoying and people will not like your site if they get pop ups every time.
Having said that I must say thank you Firefox for preventing such things in the first place (or any other browser that you can do that with, which is all of them these days I believe).

I have always had good income from Google and Amazon. They are both very simple to install and trustworthy. You need to remember that any context-sensitive ad systems will try to match the contents of the page, and your HTML editor page doesn't have any significant content.

Maybe worth noting that not many pro web developers will be interested in using stuff from a developer whose pages don't validate. Use

http://validator.w3.org

to find (and solve) the small remaining errors.

I can't add a doctype (except for HTML 3.2) to the page, because IE and FF won't accept the "border-style: groove;" statement in the style sheet. They won't parse the "height: 35%;" statement, either. If I add an HTML 3.2 doctype, then the validator complains that a bunch of my other tags aren't acceptable in HTML 3.2. Maybe certain web developers would settle on reduced functionality for a page that validates. But I would hardly call them pros. I'm more concerned at the moment with getting the color-coding to work in FF. It looks like IE's "proprietary" methods and "quirky" behavior allows the color-coding to work. But FF's Acid-Test compliant rendering does users of my site no good whatsoever.

Um, unless I got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, I can't see an audience for a service like this.

Those of us who already know html can produce code from scratch with notepad or one of the many free editors available.

Those who do not know html will not even know where to begin with this editor. They need some sort of WYSIWYG editor, not a you-have-to-know-html-tags-editor.


Assuming that I'm completely off-base with my comment, I'd agree with the other posters and try Google, Amazon and the other major players.
And, completely off-topic, I see you're located in a town with a major brewer (A-B) and a major craft brewer (New Belgium).

But Notepad doesn't have code hinting or code coloring. The code coloring only works in IE, though. To get code hinting or coloring, you could install Dreamweaver or Visual Studio, but they cost money and take up hard-disk space. They also clog up your registry. That's why I made a web-based HTML editor. It's like Google Docs, in the sense that you don't have to install anything on your computer to use the program.

I'm adding new features to it all the time, too. Yesterday I added a save button, which lets you save your HTML to a file on your computer.

Yes. There are many breweries here. There's also a huge Budweiser plant right outside of town. There's also Odell's brewery. I went to school with the two Odell sons. Then there's the Fort Collins brewery, and so on. I'm not sure why there are so many here. Maybe because there's a university here.

Many pros that I know use Programmers Notepad which is free, reliable and gives colour coding for most of the major languages and good support for regex, along with all sorts of (selectable) extras such as autocomplete and macros.
