Promote one sponsor or several?
 

I am starting a niche-related blog? What type of methods are best for promotion? Contextual link that leads to sponsor? I think banners are obsolete.

Also, should I promote only one sponsor or should I promote different sponsors?

I would try to get a time machine first.

Don't Put All your Eggs in One Basket.

Unfortunately this :(

Hi,

it best to give sponsors a try to see which converts best.

Niche-related blogs are for sure the way to go if you know SEO. Yes, banners are the past and animated gifs do great for me.

Promote many different sites/programs within that niche cause like others said don't put all your eggs in one basket.

also, use tools like Semrush and Yoast SEO. They are tools I use daily to help with SEO at the place I do work for.

this, you need several sponsors, keep your niche blog varied with different photographers, filmographers, tours and landing pages.

You also want to try some banners, maybe on the side bar, some flashing gifs always catch the eye and even down your blog, to vary the layout, it gains more attention...

1 pic, lots of text, 3 pics, little text, 5 pics, some text and a banner another next blog post 1 pic some text and a banner, then back to the text and text links...vary it :thumbsup

What geos? Try several.
