If there is valuable enough ad space it wouldn't matter how large or well funded you are. The size of the site's audience is a factor but not the only one.
Still, some sites won't have a valuable enough space for ads. That's okay not every site should be able to get deals with ad companies. A good business shouldn't look like a get rich quick schema.
- eli 11y agoI disagree. To realistically sell ads directly to advertisers (or agencies) you have to be big enough to support a dedicated ad sales staff. And even if you have exceptionally valuable ad space, you have to be garnering enough impressions to make talking to you worth the advertiser's time. It would be impossible for many of the ad-supported websites and blogs I enjoy to earn dollar one from this approach.
- bobajeff 11y agoThat's clearly not true since in another comment here someone said they already do this and I doubt they're using a dedicated sales staff since they've mentioned dedicating time to it. Regardless, it could soon be impossible to earn money with the other approach.
