what money strategies do you have on your blog?

ianternet · 05-23-2007, 07:38 AM

I want to see if user cramp their blog with all the money techniques out there and if it works?

I want to add good features but not all

I have so far on my blog:

adsense
affiliate links
clickbank
amazon text

what else do you add? I just dont want to clutter my blog with all ads - I want it to integrate seamlessly with it

so I just want to see if others dedicate 1 blog to adsense another to affiliate another to amazon another to auctions/chitika etc

Depends on what sort of blog you have - I try everything in moderation and stick with the best solution for the particular blog. So far, so good, but I must say that link ads that I sell are the biggest, and steadiest source of income.

I only have stuff that matters and is part of the content. If I don't write about it, it ain't there, and I don't use adsense.
I made the blog first, and looked for the right programs after.
All affiliate links.

You can blog about users websites and get paid for that.

I totally disagree. I think there a few products and such that would sell on your blog.

I agree for the most part. I absolutely do not bother with Adsense on blogs. It works well for one of my websites, but not for blogs. And, I sometimes blog about a product I like and use an affiliate link, but I don't like to try and monetize the sidebars.

Best by far for one of my sites well honestly all of my blogs are selling text links. I intergrate adsense a little but not a pro at it yet. Going to try to experiment with it a little. Just made it to the $100 mark last month "Bout Time"

ok I been lookin at other blogs and how they are advertising - popular blogs such as problogger.net has ads all on the left side

other blogs have just adsense and banners, some have text link ads, I like to make my site clean, not cluttered with all banners and spam ads - I mean to me that is just too much dont you guys think?

I have internal links that do sell since i use 7$ offers and click bank to promote - other than that I am not sure what else to add on which will no clutter my pages

I would rather see ads related to the content. Banners don't bother me, I actually like them for some sites.
For instance, if your site is about cars, I would rather see a nice graphic of a new car, that a text link that says, "Buick".
I think if they are incorporated into the content it's OK.
Besides, the average user has no clue. They think you aff. banners are advertisers. Seriously.
My blog is different in that, a lot of my content is flyer's, and promo photos, album covers, and such, so I think banners related to the theme of the blog work out fine, but, I am still not completely happy with that yet.
I just really don't like adsense. It just looks like a classified section to me, and it takes away from the design, and theme.
maybe if Google didn't plop that big ole' "Ads by Google" right out front, it wouldn't look so cheap to me.
JMO.

cool, well most of my ads are relevant to the site, looking at your site I understand your situation more so, since the ads look more part of the site

that is what I am trying to do blend the banners in the site

KeithCash · 06-05-2007, 08:17 PM

adsense and text links among others
