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.

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.
