instance, do you ever get irritated when a checkout clerk asks you for a phone number, address,
or zip code? If you're going to attempt to glean information about your customers, make it worth
their while, through a discount on their purchase or putting them on your mailing list for
notification about new merchandise. Customers, and information about them, helps to attract
advertisers. If your site is doing volume business, related companies will pay for ad space. The
rates you can charge will vary according to the makeup of your customer base, the products or
services being advertised, and the content included in banners. You will have to put some effort
into learning who visitors to your site are, but on the Internet, information is power..and money.
