How To Earn Money From Your Web Site Or Blog
One of the most often asked questions from novice webmasters is:
How do I monetize my site? How do I earn an income from my site
or blog?
The solution is quite simple, yet the effectiveness (read how
much you will make) can be very complex and complicated. There
are so many factors involved, it is more than just throwing a
few banners or text ads on your site. Factors that will greatly
determine how much income you will derive from your blogs or
sites.
Maybe it is better to start from the very beginning, before you
even start to build your site or blog. The first factor you have
to realize - the Internet is run by search engines. There are
exceptions but for the most part the search engines will
determine how many visitors your site will receive.
And to simplify things further, by search engines read Google.
Mainly because Google will deliver the majority of your traffic.
MSN and Yahoo will deliver traffic but not in the numbers Google
will.
Next, while the Internet is run by these search engines, its
powered by KEYWORDS. Understand this fact fully, and your life
as a struggling webmaster will be over.
Keywords and keyword phrases are what people place in the search
engines when they're searching for information or searching for
a product to buy. Obviously, keywords are the source of your
online income, they're the building blocks of any income from
your site. Therefore, you have to choose your keywords
carefully. You need ones that people are using and searching for
on the web.
Use resources like Wordtracker.com or Overture.com to find the
best keywords. One excellent resource is www.nichebot.com - it
will not only give you the number of searches made for any given
keyword but it will also give you the ratio of numbers of sites
to exact keyword phrases, i.e. it will give you the amount of
competition for your keywords. You can proceed or act
accordingly. The lower the ratio, the better chance you have of
placing your site on the first page SERPs (Search Engine Result
Pages).
Getting on those pages will be your first step in really
monetizing your site or blog. You can do yourself a big favor by
placing your main keyword phrase in the title of your Domain.
For example, if you have a site on Gaming Laptops - place those
keywords somewhere in the title of your site or blog.
In your content or webpages always construct or create pages
around keywords that have
a product attached. For example, if
you have a page entitled 'Best Gaming Laptops', more than likely
your visitors will be searching for the best gaming laptops to
buy. Monetizing your site will then only be a matter of finding
affiliate programs to match this keyword phrase. (High end
gaming Laptop Manufacturers). Or placing Google Adsense text or
image ads on this page. Another popular alternative to Adsense
is the new upstart - Chitika eMiniMalls,
interactive/search/product review banner ads.
Another good strategy is to pick affiliate products that are
high paying where just one click can result in $100 or more.
Where to find these affiliate products? Some top general
affiliate programs are Amazon, Commission Junction, LinkShare,
Clickbank -- all these reputable programs lists thousands of
products that sell well online. These programs will also send
your checks out on time!
Once you have this simple system worked out: high searched for
keyword + low ratio competition + matching affiliate link or
banner = $$$
You will be well on your way to monetizing your site or blog.
Look for popular unexplored niche areas for your content or
webpages and you will increase your earnings. Try out different
keywords and see which ones develop into an income stream on
your site. Explore the successful ones with variations of your
main keyword. Example, 'Gaming Laptops UK'. Then get affiliate
products to match these variant keyword phrases.
It is a simple formula you can follow time and time again, with
all your keywords.
There are countless ways to monetize your site or blog, but
trying the system described above will give you a head-start on
your competition. Perfect this system and you will be on your
way to becoming one of those much talked about success stories
on the web. Better yet, you can remain totally anonymous, and
quietly earn an income from your webpages day after day. Keep
everyone guessing and wondering just what's putting that smile
on your face?
