Best way to monetize?

[buvo19]

What's the generate revenue using your website? I think I'll start out with google adsense, but only because it's the only one I know.

[kothar64]

First you need to set your site properly, then you could start giving ads, google adsense is not a bad idea, you can also go for that only if you have
traffic > 1000

[RovingCalypso]

Well there are many others but by far adsense is the best for a beginner due to a number of reasons. I mean it is reliable (though a little strict), and it pays well.

To generate revenue from site you need to have good traffic sites. Once get good traffic and high pr start selling adspace like selling text link to individuals or by placing ad unit through adsense, YPN.

[yogesh]

If you get good amount of traffic and your site is focused on a niche you can sell advertisements directly to interested companies, beside this you can also sell links once your site has received good PR.

i have tried almost all affilliate and ad network programms (could not try yahoo so far, because i m not from the staates).

[ish221100]

First you make a good looking and good contents website, Then optimize it and use the google ads on it. In this way you can earn a lot.

I see..but may I ask someone the best way to generate revenue using your website? I think I can't make some revenue from google adsense, I had my blog and after building it for 2 months I just got $0.33 adsense revenue...huhuhu! very bad..

[IwanGurray]

Hmm, the best way perhaps are ads and affiliate commissions.

Hi,

AdSense is a very good way to monitize traffic coming to your site or blog. However, to earn decent money from Adsense or any other contextual advertising programs require your site or blog to have huge traffic otherwise making money with these programs becomes
very difficult. There are many other ways to make money online.

Janicejan, has posted different ways in which you can earn money from your website or blog.

[Robdale]

Wow.. nice tips Janicejan. Keep it up the good work.

[LeadinBiz]

In my experience, things like clickbank are pretty hard to make money in. Too much competition in the retail market.

[roshandark]

i will choose adsense as first and last option, i have good traffic on my blog and it is generation $3.5-$4 per day - blog is hindi-dubbed-hollywood-mobile-movies.blgospot.com

[charisse090]

I have 3 sites too, but I don't get any high revenue there. In 5 months, I just got $7.37 on adsense revenue..what should I do?

[crazedpanda]

The best and most proven method of making a profit out of your traffic is using advertising. The internet generates hundreds of thousands upon hundred of thousands of traffic everyday

. Most of them are searching for something. While some are just looking for information there is also a good percentage that is looking for something that they need.

[bugzy]

You can also try affiliate marketing It good source of income

[Anton Juan]

Affiliate marketing is one way to earn. But your site has to be related to the products your affiliate program is selling. Otherwise, people who visit your site might not be inclined to click on the affiliate banner/link.
