Additions to Blogger

Have you seen the latest addition to blogger? Hey this is very cool and can earn you a few bucks! I'm all about making money!! This is what they have to say just in case you don't read their announcements in your dashboard.

AdSense recently introduced a feature called video units, that lets you include relevant YouTube video on your blog, and make money from ads on it. Here’s what they have to say about it:

"We're excited about the launch of video units -- a new way to enrich your blog
with quality, relevant video content in an embedded, customizable player. Simply
embed a snippet of code and have relevant YouTube partner content streamed to
your blog. You can choose categories of video to target to your site, select
content from individual YouTube partners, or have video automatically targeted
to your blog's content. Companion and text overlay ads are relevant and
non-intrusive. To further blend the YouTube player into your blog, you can also
customize the color scheme and layout as well as choose from three different
player sizes."

AdSense Help has some more information about video units. Once you’ve created the code for a video unit, you can easily add it to your blog’s template using an HTML/JavaScript page element.

4 Ways I Monetize My Blog/Website

* Affiliate Marketing~~This is my top money making source. You don't have to deal with customers, returns, chargebacks, etc. All you really have to do is find quality products that pertain to your blog/website, post a text link or banner, and possibly write some content on the product. LinkShare, ClickBank, and Traffic Payouts are at the top of my list.

* Adsense~~Obviously, Google Adsense is the most popular out there, however, I personally prefer Bidvertiser. They have a lower threshold so you get paid quicker. It's not as user friendly as google but it's not that difficult to figure out either.
I recommend putting adsense as a leaderboard, to the left top side of your page and in your posts. Statistics show that these are more effective than other places.

* AuctionAds~~This is one of my favorites. You get to put in the keywords that you want(pick keywords relevant to your site), pick the kind of ad you want, preview, copy and paste in your site, and walah the ads displayed are ads that are geared towards your site. They have a new feature for ebay sellers. If you are a seller, you can point the ads directly to your items for sale. I find this very handy for my other site A Cowboy's Wife. You can see to the left that I have AuctionAds but they are all items I'm selling right now on ebay.

* Submit your Feed ~~This is great for loyal readers and for people on the fly by. What I mean is, you get a reader that found one of your posts very interesting. He wants to save your site...he has a couple of options. He can bookmark it or he can subscribe to your feed. Even if he bookmarks it, he may find your posts intersting enough to subscribe later on.

There are soooo many ways to monetize your site but these are just a few of my favorites. I hope this helps you in your journey to monetize your blog/website.
