Make Money Blogging

Author: Matt Bacak

You have created a blog and your blog is dedicated to a niche
industry. Have you ever thought that the blog could make money
for you? We would look here in this article, ways and means, to
make money blogging. Lets first have a look at what are the
prerequisites for a blog needed to make money: 1. Blog needs to
be dedicated to a niche market. 2. Updated regularly. 3. Enough

back links (Don't worry for it. Directory submission would be
enough to begin with) 4. Good blog host or application (blogger,
Xanga or typepad recommended), and 5. High quality articles or
news items supported with images. Get the above criteria in
place and Hurrah... You are ready to Make Money Blogging.

Top 5 Ways to Make Money Blogging Lets now take a look at top 5
ways using which you could make money blogging: 1. Google
Adsense Google Adsense delivers text and image ads to the
authorized websites/blogs depending on the content of the
website. Small code is required to be pasted at proper locations
on a webpage and Google automatically recognizes the page.
Google shares the revenue it gets from the advertisers whenever
a visitor clicks on these ads. Google bills advertisers on price
per click basis (PPC). Advertisers are required to pay only when
any visitor clicks on their ads. They bid against each other for
the keywords in order to receive better placement and thus
prices for each keyword differ from one another. It is better to
choose keywords for your blog which pays high $ per click. 2.
Amazon Amazon Associate program is another important way to make
money blogging. The Amazon Associate program gives opportunity
to website/blog publishers to promote any product from its
inventory by adding a predefined code to their website/blog,
which, when clicked by a visitor, takes them to the relevant
product page. Once the visitor buys the product, the blog owner
will be compensated with a commission.

3. Blogads You can use Blogads as an effective tool to have a
better control over the advertisers in your blogs. You can
analyze and compare your profits with any one of your online
agencies. Blogads can be simply specified as an advertising
service used for the web logs or blogs. From the total money
generated by Blogads, it retains 20% of it and the remaining
money is paid to you through PayPal or checks.

Alternative Services:

• Crispads is another useful network focused on the blogs. You
can put your advertisements in their blogs using Crispads. You
can move through their RSS/ATOM feeds that help in generating
revenues. • Tagword – It is similar to Blogads. It makes you
select the ads and their price.

Users can place their text-based ads in the site within minutes
and the ads will be displayed instantly on the website.

4. Affiliate Programs Your affiliate programs can help you earn
a lot of money for selected products and services. Lot of
websites offers you to become affiliate members. These affiliate
programs can provide a better reach and an in-depth exposure to
the products. The commissions for the sales differ according to
the quality of the product, sales and marketing strategy
involved. You can gather information related to the commissions
by looking into the catalogues of Link Share and Commission
junctions.

5. Text Links Text links has emerged out to be the best form of
moneymaking source that you can use instead of cluttering or
crowding the page with ads. You don’t have to make these text
links prominent within your website. This link can act as an
extra value to your site and will also help to promote the
rankings of other sites. In most of the cases you will find
these text links placed in the bottom of the web pages. The best
part of this strategy is that the publishers send and accept
links as the market continues to grow.
