Hello everyone, it’s great to join this forum! While I’m fairly new here, I come with experience in Facebook marketing and e-commerce.

I’m here to seek advice on purchasing banner ad traffic directly from chosen websites, bypassing DSP or programmatic methods. I’ve heard this method can be more profitable despite requiring more effort. Can anyone guide me on how to start this? Are there recommended courses or information available on this approach, known as manual media buying?

Any answers would be Much appreciated! [image]

Say you sell hiking gear: shortlist three sites whose readers match your buyers. Ask each publisher for banner positions and sizes, audience data, expected impressions, dates, and pricing. Test one affordable placement with a tagged link, then compare cost per purchase before spending more. To learn manual buying, start with publisher media kits and guides to ad inventory, pricing, and campaign measurement.
