1. Use PPC Advertising Networks

Google AdSense is the most popular option under this category, but not the only one. The way it works, you sign up with the network copy and paste some code snippets on your website page. The network will then serve contextual ads (either text or images) relevant to your website, and you will earn a certain amount of money for every click.  Of course the success of PPC advertising depends on the general traffic levels of your website and, most importantly, on the click-through rate (CTR) and cost per click (CPC). The CTR depends on the design of the website. Ads placed above the fold, tend to get higher CTRs. The CPC, on the other hand, depends on the niche of the website. Mortgages, financial products are examples of profitable niches.

•Google Adsense

2.Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is a very popular practice on the Internet. A merchant is willing to let other people (the affiliates) sell directly or indirectly its products and services, in exchange for a commission. Sometimes this type of advertising is also called CPA (cost per action) or CPL (cost per lead) based. Affiliates send potential customers to the merchant using several tools, from banners to text links and product reviews or photos. In order to find suitable affiliate programs you can turn to individual companies and publishers like Dreamhost and SEOBook, or join affiliate marketplaces and networks.

List of the most popular affiliate marketplaces and networks:

 •Commission Junction

 •ClickBank

 •Webgain

 •Link Share

3. Marketplaces

Sitepoint is the online marketplace by excellence. Some websites and blogs, however, are trying to replicate that model on a smaller scale.

Depending on your niche, a market place that allows your visitors to buy, sell and trade products could work well. Over the time you could start charging a small fee for new product listings.
You can see an example of a marketplaces being used on EasyWordpress and on Mashable.

4. Donations

Placing a “Donate” link or button on a website can be an efficient way to earn money, especially if your blog is on a niche where readers learn and gain value from your content. Personal development and productivity blogs, for instance, tend to perform well with donation based systems.

5. In-text Adverting

In-text advert network like adBrite will place a sponsored links inside your text. These links come with a double underline to differentiate them from normal links. Each time the reader place his mouse over the link the advertising will pop up. The site owner makes money when the reader clicks on the link.


Some people make good money with this method, but others refrain from using it due to its intrusiveness. It is also interesting to note that very few mainstream websites have experimented with in-text advertisin
