Monetize Your Site With Adsense

One of the best ways to monetize your site is through Google Adsense. Many webmasters are earning decent money by displaying Asense Ads on their websites. Not everyone will be able to generate huge amount of revenue from a single website but there are many webmasters who have many websites in their portfolio earning a few dollars a day. Now imagine if you have 100 web sites each earning $5 for you a day in Adsense earnings and you will be looking at an eye popoing amount of $500 a day alone. Multiply that by 30 days and you will be earning an incredible amount of money that you ever dream of.
Google Adsense is a quick and easy way for webmasters to monetize their web sites. By putting up relevant and text based Adsense ads on their websites, many webmasters start to make money as soon as they start driving traffic to their web sites. As the Adsense ads are normally related to what your visitors are looking for on your web site, you can both monetize and enhance your content pages using Adsense ads. As you know, you can only make money if visitors to your site click on the Adsense ads display on your site. If your site displays Adsense ads with high paying keywords, your Adsense earnings will be much higher compare to low paying keywords.
TNX Review

TNX is a new ads network in the mold of Text Link Ads. By signing up with them, you allow them to sell links on your behalf. You get points for selling links on your site and in return you can either exchange these points for cash or use them to buy links instead. In a way, it worked something like a traffic exchange system just that the commodity now is links.
It’s real smart of them to actually implement this points system. Most people will not cash in all their points and will somehow be tempted to purchase some links instead. Once people start find that the system is easy to use and the benefits are there, more and more people will start using it. If they can ensure the whole system is bug free and works without any hitches, it will definitely be a huge success if not for the recent Google fiasco.
Bubble Burst For AGLOCO
The door has finally closed for one of the most promising money making programs online. It has been almost 2 weeks since Agloco update its members on their demises!
Although the signs are there as early as months back, it is hard to believe a wonder concept such as this have to meet such a fate. I just wonder whether the fault lies with the management team or is it simply a case of bad timing. Anyway, what is past is past; it is just a pity that things don’t work out for them. Luckily, I did not really push hard for Agloco otherwise I have to answer to many people.
So what about you, how do you feel about this whole Agloco episode? If you have any views, feel free to share them with us.
List Of Paid Posting Programs

I’ve a compile a list of paid posting programs that I’m currently making good money from. The ones that I highly recommend is PayPerPost, ReviewMe and SponsoredReviews. The bulk of my paid posting income comes mainly from these 3 programs but there are others which are just as good, just that I have no time to really explore them.
Depending on your niche, page rank, traffic and other factors, the amount of money you make from these paid programs will varied from the hundreds to the thousands in a month. Although the income may be good, the income is not passive or what you call self generative and you need to spend certain number of hours to do these paid opportunities daily. After a while, you will find things repetitive and will be hard for most people to continue unless you really like to write about different stuff every day. That’s why it’s important to have a long term plan in place.
Text Link Ads Review

The recent uproar over the Page Rank update has not dampened my enthusiasm for Text Links Ads. While some have actually condemned Google’s hypocrisy in penalizing those who are selling links blatantly, I see no wrong in Google doing that. Google is just trying to protect their own advertising program and if you are in their shoes, what would you do. Do you expect yourself to sit down quietly while your competitors are slowly biting off your market share?
I have no doubt that selling links remains one of the best ways to monetize your site and I will have no qualms about selling links on my sites. Unless you are making chunks of money through Google Adsense, Text Link Ads remains a great monetization program for those struggling to make decent money off Google Adsense.

If you decide to explore affiliate marketing, there are certain things that you need to know before embarking fully on it. Doing the right things at the right time will ensure your affiliate marketing business will be a success. Otherwise, you will have a hard time coping understanding why you are still struggling to make some money after a couple of months.
Affiliate marketing is just like any other business, be it conventional or on the internet. You need to approach it just the way real business should be done. Although affiliate marketing is essentially the easiest online money making models for anyone who wants to start making money online, it does not mean that you can earn easy money just by putting up a site and do nothing else. Check out my previous post on “Money Making Models: Affiliate Marketing” which will give you a better understanding on affiliate marketing.
Here are some tips to ensure that your affiliate marketing business is off to a good start:
Google Clamps Down On Paid Postings
Here is an update on the latest round of Page Rank drops that affect thousands and thousands of bloggers worldwide. At last, Google decided to clamp down on bloggers who are monetizing their sites through paid postings. Many webmasters who are doing paid postings in their blogs found their blogs’ Page Rank dropped from even as high as PR4 to PR0. This is especailly true for people who are doing PayPerPost opportunities.
Google is doing this retaliation to people who are blatantly selling links and doing paid postings. It seems that Google is now going full force to stop other ads networks from jeopardizing and hurting their long profitable revenue channel “Adsense”. It’s understandable and while this seems so surreal to the thousands and thousands of bloggers worldwide, it’s a reality that will stay.
So what does it mean for you if you are doing paid postings all these while?
<!–more–> Definitely in the unforeseen future, it’s going to hurt your income, but then you should not be dishearten. After all, this is part and parcel of life and you should be prepared for it. That’s why it’s always important to diversify your income channels so that when one suddenly dropps, you wlll not be affected that badly.
If your Page Rank is not affected even though you are doing paid postings and selling links, you need to act first and remove all traces of PayPerPost and other paid postings if possible. Stop doing paid postings if you do not want to affect your Page Rank.
However, if you don’t care about your sites and you are those bloggers who set up your blogs to purely monetize from paid postings and selling links, then please carry on as per normal.
Currently, there are much speculation going round whether Google will offer amnesty to PayPerPost or other paid postings blogs. Thee is another rumor going round Google may scrap Page Rank altogether.
Since whatever Google does is beyond our control, we should continue to stick with building quality sites and also look for opportunities to exploit and make money.
If you have read through my posts, you would have known by now, I always advocate diversifying your income channels. I have sites built purely for paid postings and I intend to continue monetizing it that way. So whatever you do, always think of alternatives in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
One Huge Site Or Many Small Sites
There have been many debates on whether setting up one huge content site is better than many small sites. While the two camps are arguing the benefits and wisdom in their logic, one thing is sure, they are actually making money.
Some say having a huge site is much better for monetization in the long run. I do not disagree here; in fact they are right about having a huge site and to me it’s better business sense. The returns are better and you can focus on one thing at a time. Having many sites will distract you and make you lose focus from making sure your sites are a success. Well, I also do not disagree with that as I have been through this path and I understand there will be a limit to how much things human beings can focus on and multi-task.
Others will advocate setting up many sites. Their reasoning is very simple, imagine if each site earns you $5 a day and you have 50 sites and that equates to $250 a day. Not a bad figures by any means, multiply that by 30 days and you get $7500, an income by no means inferior to a mid level executive. In my country, that’s over 5 figures in today’s exchange rate. Also, small sites are easier and much faster to set up as compared to a huge site.
Monetize Your Blog Through Paid Posting Opportunties

As a blogger there are many ways you can monetize your blog, and one of the best way to do so is through paid reviews of products and service. I have compiled a list of paid posting opportunity sites for bloggers who want to monetize their sites. Most of these sites required your blog to be established for three months or more. You have to read through the individual sites’ FAQ to find out what are these requirements.
In order to make more money from paid posting opportunities, it’s best to have a high Page Rank and also Alexa ranking. The higher your blog’s Page Rank and Alexa ranking, the likelihood of getting more and higher paid posting opportunities are there. The list is by no means comprehensive but these are the sites that I’m currently making good money from. If you have any recommendations besides the ones on the list, please feel free to suggest.

Recently, I read an article in my local papers that some enterprising photography hobbyists are making decent money online by placing their photos with stock photo sites for sale. This article got ideas racing through my mind as I think of how to capitalize on this concept.
Shoot your own photos and sell them
Well, you have nothing to lose if you shoot your own photos and start selling them on stock photo sites. Invest in a good DSLR camera; learn some decent photography skills and you are good to go.
