| Monetizing Your Site |
 |
|
Monetizing a site is the process of creating passive income via onsite advertising or selling affiliate products.
On-site advertising can be in the form of ad banners, advertisements for specific products/services, or content-sensitive ads such as google’s adsense or yahoo’s similar program. Sites with these ads benefit by selling impressions or via making money every time a user clicks an ad.
Selling affiliate products consists of placing links to another site with a unique id specific to you. If someone goes to the site via that link and buy something, you make a percent of the profit.
Both of these methods are great for creating passive income. The site owner doesn’t have to do anything once the links and ads are in place.
Using passive income successfully is another matter. Ad placement, affiliate product, and even text colors all pay into the success of passive income.
For starters, selling an affiliate product requires research into the types of products your site visitors would most likely buy. ClickBank.com is a great place for finding affiliate products. Once you know the type fo product, you need to find a product that matches your need. Clickbank offers this. They also rank affiliate products by their sales rate. Therefore, you can easily find a product that matches your visitor profile and has a proven track record.
Placing affiliate links on a web site are successfully done if…
1.) You have the product link and a short writeup at the end of each page of your site OR
2.) You have one page reviewing the affiliate product with the affiliate link at the bottom OR
3.) You place a small ad within your left panel menu (at the end of the menu).
Placing ads for content-sensitive material like adsense is a bit harder. The ads that are displayed are based on the content of your page. If you have page devoted to the health risks of eating red meat, you might get advertisements for Bob’s MailOrder Beef. For this reason, not all pages and not all sites are good for content-sensitive advertisements.
Arranging these types of ads take a bit more work. Some say make the ads blend in while others say make them stand out. Google Adsense has a good section devoted to optimizing this type of advertising. A good rule of thumb is you want people to see the advertisements as a natural extension of your site to gain more information about a product/service that you discuss in some general way (i.e. refinancing a loan).
Monetizing a web site can be done with most any site as long as it’s done correctly.
