I've been debating whether or whether not to finance my server in an advertising concept with about 300$. But I'm looking around and some of this big sites have featured servers with 3 players on them, and those servers paid hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars. Anyone have any suggestions or input? What in your experience or know how, has and hasn't worked for you.

The trick to advertising is not a "pretty" one indeed. Basically it works like this...
1. Finding your target audiences... For example if the server is similar to Star Wars and you tend to make it like that within legal boundaries then finding advert slots in Star Wars areas is sure to please.
2. Testing a battery of "hot spots" to find what's place generates the most POSITIVE traffic. Not just a bunch of players who come on for 2 seconds and leave.
3. After all of that leg work you still has to fine tune to keep up the speed and ho keep the money coming.
So in short if just has a LUMP of cash to blow is probably not the best course of actions for advertising. Now if that was $300 a MONTH then that could probably grant you some leverage if done right.
