Ok, so what if there was a way for you to make money with a website without anyone having to click on anything? It is not often that I get excited about so called "new" marketing methods but after reading more about audio ads I started to see the possibilities surrounding this concept.

Here is the general idea. You sign up with the ad company and you give them the URLs of the pages on your site where you intend to place their ads. You will be given a small amount of code that needs to be placed in your websites source code; this tracks your site and your ads. Then whenever some one visits your site, the ad will be played and you receive payment for the ad.

The fact that the advertisement will be played, not shown, not popped-up, not peeled away, but played will definitely increase their popularity, because the visitor does not need to take any action what so ever for you to receive payment, all it takes is for some one to visit your site and you get paid for every single visitor. These ads are 5-second audio ads that will play whenever someone visits the page on your site that you have placed the code on.

The audio ads work in a similar way to Adsense, they are contextual. In other words the adverts that are played on your site will be relevant to your sites content.

One possible concern about these types of ads is, whether your visitors will find them annoying or not. It is common knowledge that pop-ups and fly-ins are terribly annoying for most surfers (although I do get a lot of sign-ups from mine) therefore there is a possibility that the 5 second audio ads may become equally annoying over time.

However, the good news for webmasters is that because the ads are audio, they, like the peel-away ads will be far less intrusive, and 5 seconds is a very short time span, even for the most easily annoyed surfer, plus they can always turn the volume off.

These types of ads are likely to become rather popular in the coming months, the attraction being, getting paid for every single visitor to your site and no action needing to be taken by your visitors. The ads eliminate the hoping and wishing for more of your visitors to click through and allow you to use your sites real-estate more efficiently.

So really it comes down to a choice, either you can continue to receive money only if some one clicks your text link ads and banners or you can start getting paid for every single visitor to your site. It seems to me there is only one thing to do.
