directly to companies and working directly with advert network which in turn
provide ad directly to you on your site. However the first option is mainly for
known brand sites that have massive traffic as unpopular site with little
traffic may not attract patronage from conglomerates.

this case you receive a cut from the advert profit while the network received
the rest at the stipulated percent.
