Monetizing Your Blog

You've created an amazing blog with tons of great content. Now what?
Well, if you are interested in making money off of your blog, there are a few excellent options out there. In this post I'll try to go over one of the easiest ways of monetizing, which is by using contextual/ pay-per-click advertising. These programs place ads on your website/blog that are specifically targeted to your audience. Whenever a visitor clicks on these ads, you earn. Below are a few great contextual programs.

1. Adsense- Adsense, the advertising program created by Google, is in my opinion by far the best option out there right now for monetizing a blog. Out of all the programs I have used, this has definitely been my top earner. Currently, I am using Adsense exclusively on this blog.

2. Bidvertiser- This is another one of the contextual programs out there right now. Personally, I have NOT done well with this program. The ads do not seem to be as popular with visitors, and they just did not perform well for me.

3. Yahoo Publishers Program- This program seems to be a little bit more exclusive than the two above, but if you get in, then it seems to be a pretty great program and performs almost equally as well as Adsense at times.

4. Chitika- Though this ad company is more well known for its marketplace ads (which I will talk about in another post), it also has begun a fairly good pay-per-click program. Chitika may not have as wide of a variety of ads as Adsense, but I believe that it shows promise to grow.

Hopefully, this should help get you on the path to monetizing your blog. In future posts I will discuss some of the other great options out there.
Good Luck!
