As I said earlier, selling direct ads is a great way to increase revenue throughout your website. Even though it may be, there will come many disadvantages to it. One of these disadvantages would include having server loss. This is a major factor that can hurt you in terms of revenue.

Unlike Adsense, where you don’t get paid when you don’t have their code up or when your site’s server goes down for long periods of time, selling direct ads can affect you when your site’s server goes down and soon after when your recovering all the lost. An example would be when your server going down for five days and then after it coming back to it’s feet you have to give all your private advertisers five days of additional ad placements. After this, you will have to work on increasing traffic because you’ve lost a few returning visitors.

Tyler Cruz is a well-known blogger and has went on a vacation so who knows when he’ll be back. Ever since he left, his blog has been down so I’m assuming that he doesn’t have a laptop with him to check up on these kinds of stuff. For all of you who knows him already, he makes his living off of online revenue; therefore, this can affect him harshly.

Making sure you have the best server will assure you to not lose any profits at all. An ounce of prevention is always worth a pound of cure. Take the little steps now to help you out in the future so that you never lose anything. Also, plan to have backup at least somewhere so that you can make money elsewhere at the same time.
