Half dozen ways to make money with your blog

In this article we will discuss the all possible ways to make money from your blog.

Earning through PPC Advertisements

Google AdSense is the largest advertisement network operators in PPC advertising. Without a doubt one of the most used to monetize a blog or website is Google Adsense.

There are few problems with Adsense like if they think the website is bad, they will reject without showing any cause and even if approved, at any time your account may get disqualified due to false positive results of their automated system.

Earnings no doubt is good.

“Many website owners complain that their AdSense accounts have been disabled just before they were supposed to receive their first paycheck from Google. Google claims accounts have been disabled due to click fraud or forbidden content, but have offered no proof of this. An automated email is sent to the publisher’s owner which offers no reasoning, or options but a link to file an appeal. In the email, Google states that “Because we have a responsibility to protect our AdWords advertisers from inflated costs due to invalid activity, we’ve found it necessary to disable your AdSense account. Your outstanding balance and Google’s share of the revenue will both be fully refunded back to the affected advertisers.” The revenue generated – whether legitimate or not – is taken, and all complaints are deferred.”

So, be smart; use other ways simultaneously as well.

Earnings through CPM Advertisements

We discussed ago about Lake Quincy Media. It is a CPM based Ad network. Earnings through CPM based advertisements can exceed PPC Advertisements if the blog is medium (just >1,000 visitors per day) or big (>50,000 visitors per day).

In text Advertisements like Infolinks or Kontera

People will think the links as hyperlinks and click them. This the basic. Earnings can be huge but not suitable for most standard blogs like this website which has lot of interlinks to other articles within a single post.

There is risk of getting more visitor bounce rate.

Making money from out going links and downloads hosted on own server

Previously we discussed about Link Bucks. This a prototype of this way of making money.

Making money from uploading to Deposit files, EasyShare etc services

If the focus of your blog is to share files, PDF books, programs, videos, movies, etc. the system can be a good option for you as they pays good per 1,000 downloads.
A great way to earn money, especially if you have a large number of visitors or a large amount of traffic to your blog.

Affiliate programs

Affiliate programs can make you earn a huge if you have related blog writings. It can be promoted in two ways:

• Small 125 x 125 banners in the sidebar
• Writing review articles and asking to buy it clicking your affiliate link.

The work is analogous to the “Agents” in the real World.

Bad condition might appear to you if you promote sub standard products. So, be cautious what you are promoting.

Not all reviews are for affiliate programs to make money. For example we or many authors write about WordPress Plugins because they are good and free. It is like giving thanks instead of donating a money for further development.
