The Web Affiliate Creators blog is more than a How to when it comes to building and monetizing your website, it’s in itself an income earner. In fact, any blog can be, if you have something of interest to any group of people, you can utilize it, and profit from it.
Here are just a few ways that Web Affiliate Creators earns money with our website marketing blog:
Google Adsence
Google Ads are our biggest earner, Google, provides CPC ads to each page viewer through a bit of JavaScript inserted either in the blog post itself or by use of a google adsence supporting wordpress theme. The ads are filtered in effort to bring our visitors ads that they might actually have an interest in. When we first started out, we earned pennies a week with Google Adsence ads, now we earn what can be considered an income.
An alternative to Google Adsence would be Yahoo’s version; Yahoo Publisher Network.
Text Link Ads
The blog also makes money from text link ads, we sell links on both the affiliate marketing forum and blog, usually with a three month purchase minimum, how much we charge generally depends on recent website traffic trends, current Google PR, and market price of links when and where we’re selling them, most often through Text Link Ads.
These links generally involve a footer, or blogroll link with search engine optimized anchor text.
Paid Website Reviews
Our Web Marketing team also utilizes paid blogging websites such as ReviewMe, Sponsored Review and PayPerPost to earn a profit from blogging, occasionally you will see honest reviews posted by one of us of various products and services on the internet, these reviews pay per review. Therefore the blog earns a predetermined amount for displaying the review.
The paid reviews provide other website owners with inner textual backlinks, the links are guaranteed to be on topic, because it’s their site we are blogging about. Not only do people that buy these reviews benefit from our PR, Ranking etc, in the value of a link, they also benefit through WAC’s traffic.
Depending on your blogging frequency, there’s actually quite a bit of cash available for websites that offer this sort of service, www.contentreviewjournal.com is pretty much based on income from this source.
Promoting Amazon.com
I’m a reader, whenever I start something new, I read everything I can find on the topic a few weeks before embarking on the adventure, whether it be potty training my son, or building a brand new website from the ground up, if I’ve done it, I’ve read a book or two about it.
That in mind, it’s always a good idea to offer a few resources whenever you’re discussing something on your blog; especially if it’s a resource that you yourself used and benefited from. The Web Affiliate Blog uses Amazon.com’s affiliate program for this; if there’s a publication available that we find may be of use to our readers, we offer them the option to purchase the publication through our affiliate link.
Selling Banner Space
On occasion Web Affiliate Creators also offers banner space for sale, we probably could earn a lot more blogging via this method, however to be honest, we just don’t spend enough time and energy on it these days. At any rate, you can charge a monthly fee for displaying someone else’s banner, you can charge per click, or per impression.
The more traffic a site receives, the more the site can charge for banner space. When thinking in terms of whom to sell to, both you and your banner space buyer will mutually benefit from keeping your banner ads as on topic as possible.
Blog Feed Advertising
Monetize your blog through RSS feed syndication! RSS subscribers are fans of your website, so much so that they have taken the time to subscribe and make sure they don’t miss a post. Don’t forget about them, RSS feed advertising can prove to be very profitable to bloggers, the most popular is likely feed burner, however, if you choose to go with them, you will have to wait for an invitation to their ads program.
