I'm interested in starting my first media buying, ad space, but don't know where to start. there's adbrite, buysellads, buyads, direct site, but not sure since I feel overwhelmed. I already have my squeeze page set up. My budget is under 50 bucks a week, but I don't know how many unique visitors a month i should look for or amount of impressions. It's for diet/weight loss niche btw.

    Thats a rather low budget. Media buying is very tricky.

    Id take a look at this..
    X*1000*.002*.05 = max CPM

    Where X is your offer payout. If you are new to media buying, I likely would not spend more than that CPM. The numbers are safe averages for banner spots and an assumed 5% conversion rate.

    Also consider that 1000*.002 = 2, your average amount of visitors per 1000 impressions. Media buys are often very expensive clicks!

    I would say hold off on media buying until you get a much larger budget.

    go with sitescout and raise your budget

    Even try to get lucky with a nice return from a PPC campaign in adcenter. Reinvest that money to make more campaigns and earn more. Keep reinvesting until you have 10 successful campaigns all earning $100 per day. then start scaling and make more

    Do you have any previous experience with other traffic sources? Honestly I'd start off with a different traffic source then slowly move up to media buys

    A key factor in media buying is testing.

    Track all your campaigns, tweak and test further, drop the ones that don't work and invest in the ones that do.
