If I want to get some advertising on my website, so that I can make some money, what is the best way to go about this? and how much money am I likely to make from it? Also, if I want to advertise my site elsewhere, what is the best way to do this? and how much is this likely to cost? Thanks alot for any help you can give...

I don't know much about internet advertising but I enjoy free things! :) Try http://www.linkbuddies.com/ This is a free banner exchange, you post someone elses ad on your site and the more hits you get, the more impressions you'll show on other sites.

You will make practically nothing from having ads on your site. In fact, you will probably drive many people away if they seem to be too intrusive, or they will simply block them (hosts files have thousands of ad sites included as blocked domains by default). A banner exchange programme is a better bet for encouraging visitors, though if you do want to do the ads, then check out Google's ad syndication thing.

thanks for the help, will look into it.
