Why would Advertisers Pay users for Visiting their Website?

The average cost of banner advertisements today is $ 19.00 per 1000 impressions. This approach costs advertisers money regardless of whether the person actually clicks on the banner or is even interested in viewing the ad. The average click-through rate (people who actually click the banner to visit an advertiser's site) is only around 0.3%. This means that for every thousand impressions, only 3 people actually click through the banner to the advertiser's site. In other words, advertisers are paying at least $6.00 for every person who clicks through via the banner.

SpeedHole is a better option for advertisers. By registering as a member, and providing basic information about yourself, advertisers are able to contact you via directory services or sponsor banners/links. When a member actively chooses to view an advertisers site, advertisers are certain that they are reaching an interested consumer.
