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.

4 Effective ways to increase traffic volume

It’s not difficult to drive traffic to your site, once you know how to. Below are 4 simple ways that can help you achieve that:

1. Post topics that are interesting. Be creative, and make sure you brand what your writing about. Add your own personal spin to it. Make your post simple, conversational and short. Try to make it strait to the point without rushing things. You should also regularly update the blog so that more visitors will check your blog every now and then.

3. Make sure to take full advantage FeedBurner and provide a FULL RSS FEED. This really simple syndication will allow others to subscribe and syndicate your blog. This can also make it easier for other sites or blogs to link you, as well as providing yourself some authority and credibility as well.

3. Although some people may disagree with this, I personally find it effective. I from time to time try to add links to other websites in my post as it will greatly increase the change of search engines indexing me. So don’t be afraid to put links in your website from time to time.

4. Always, always, always reply to your comments. I personally like to reply on my both my website, and theres. This way you show your readers that you really care about there contributions. Not only do you build friendships this way, you are in turn earning yourself backlinks as well.

These are just a few simple tips that I find to be very effective. Previously I made a more elaborate post on what I feel is the most important traffic generating techniques (Getting New Readers) I highly recommend you check out.
