Blog Biz Kit vs GOOGLE

Everyone knows that to make money with blogging, you must use Google Adsense. After all, it provides contextual ads that your readers are interested in and will definitely click on. But why just stop there. Sure ad sense is fine on it’s on, but if there was something else, you could double or even triple your revenue potential.

The first step to that are Affiliate programs. Such programs such as Amazon.com for instance. It has a wide range of products, but is predominant in books. Amazon doesn’t really pay much, about 10% commission total, but if you can refer lots of visitors to your site, than Amazon is definitely for you.

Selling advertising space is also a great way to make money with blogs. This is really helpful if your blog is really popular. The more popular it is, the more money you can charge for the advertising space. You can make over 150$ a month if you can get around 10 thousand page views a day. Wouldn’t that be something?

You can use free tools, like Google analytics to gauge the amount of page views and visitors that you get per day. Statcounter.com is also a nice tool.

Adbrite can help for those sites that don’t have much traffic. They pay CPM, which means per 1000 impressions.

There are other affiliate programs that pay more than Amazon, such as Click bank, CJ, and more. These usually have a higher commission rate than Amazon, and are a better source of income. In fact, they are one of the best.

I hope that you learned a lot from this, and are now able to make a successful blog or maybe optimize your own personal blog to get more income. If income wasn’t what you are looking for, then I hope that some things that I have said can increase your sites popularity and increase your knowledge.

Publish your blog
