There are a lot of ways of making money with a website. Here are my top ways for both the new blogger and the well established website.
Most methods of starting a site rely either on the weblog having a good Google Page Rank or ample of traffic, or both. A weblog with neither is not going to earn a great income, even if you might earn a little income. So the tips are split depending on whether they work best with high traffic, high page rank of both.
High Visitors Ideas
Google Adsense - straightforward to run and even easier to earn from, the incomes from this could be massive! Signing up should be a must for anyone wanting to earn an income as at the very worst a small income will trickle in, but if you have heaps of traffic to your weblog, then these little advert blocks scattered round the site might automatically include related adverts, with no effort from you.
Affiliate Advertising - there are 2 ways to do this. First, the simple way is to just carry several affiliate banners around different products that your readers might be interested in. Nothing clever, just an advert for a product or a merchant that might be useful to the reader. Put the banner into the main area of your web site so that every page carries and and hope to earn an income. The second version is more direct as you actively post about products, recommending them and then adding a product link from an affiliate scheme. Masses harder work, but the affiliate link is more obvious and more budding to be followed as there is a direct recommendation.
High Page Rank Hints
Selling links - some people do not agree with this, but by selling links through a variety of schemes you can earn a healthy income. A little difficult sometimes to get started, but with lots of paid links systems you will be paid recurring fees, so once the link or banner is included, you will either get a hefty initial payment or good monthly payments.
Schemes With A Bit Of Both
Paid posting - depending on whether you have a high traffic blog, a high Page Rank website or one with both, then there is probably a scheme or two for paid posting that is open to you and this is where most bloggers wanting to earn an income will end up.
Some systems want just high traffic blogs and will even go as far as insisting on rel=”nofollow” being added to every link so there is no risk of the posts been seen as being for increasing Page Rank.
On the other hand, there are systems that totally ignore traffic and look only at your page rank and are there basically only to sell links from sites to increase Page Rank.
Then, of course, there are the systems in the middle that calculate a score for your weblog based on various metrics, including the numbers of links in, the Page Rank and the levels of visitors on your blog.
Lay the foundations to your site and you will be able to earn an income from it.
