Get paid for all of your website traffic, no
clicks necessary!
Webmasters! Make Money with Your Website! It’s
Easy!
If you have a website, and some traffic, you can be
earning money with it! It’s very easy to ad advertising to your website
and make money online. When done correctly it can even ad value to your
site. Adsense is the most well known, but there are a large number of ad
programs out there. When you sign up as a publisher to display Google’s
Adsense ads on your site, Google spiders your site to find out what each
page that you are going to place an ad on is about. Google then
displays ads that relate to your site in some way. This is called
targeting and it’s what makes the Adsense program work.
As a publisher you can choose what sizes of ads you
want and where to put them on your page. You have a number of options
like whether to allow image ads as well as text ads, and what sites you
do not want ads from appearing on your page. You get to choose the
color schemes and formats to make the ads match the style of your
website and web pages. There are quite a few options for you to choose
from to both customize the ads to your site and to determine what types
of ads and services you want. You can even put a Google search box on
your site and earn money from that too.
Another form of advertising you as a publisher can
put on your site is similar to the old banner ads, but it is
contextual. The ads are still banners, but they match the products
being advertised to the content of your web page. These programs pay by
ad impressions instead of click-throughs. This is referred to as CPM or
cost-per-thousand. Fifty cents per 1,000 ad impressions is a fairly
typical amount paid to publishers for these ads.
Most ad programs limit the number of ads you can
place on a page. The CPM ads I use require any ads to be “above the
fold” (Visible when the page loads without having to scroll down).
That’s reasonable since you are being paid in effect for page views, so
the advertiser wants to be sure that his ad is actually seen by someone.
You could click away without scrolling down and thus the advertiser
would have to pay for an impression that did not occur. I can get 2 ads
above the fold, so I make $1.00 for each 1,000 page views.
Whether to use the CPM ads depends upon the amount
of money the average page view produces. Some of my sites earn very
little from Adsense because the topic of the page is not as valuable to
advertisers as others. If my site is making me $5.00 per 1,000 page
views with Adsense, then I won’t be putting the CPM ads up, since I only
make $1 per 1,000 page views. If the site is making less than $1.00 per
1,000 page views with Adsense, then it’s worth putting the CPM ads up,
with Adsense below the fold.
Adsense doesn’t have an above the fold requirement
so I place Adsense ads below my CPM ads. That way I get paid for every
visitor, without them having to click anything, and then there is still
a chance they will click on an Adsense ad and make me even more money.
Another way to make money from every visitor
without the visitor having to click anything is using the new 5 second
audio ads from NetAudioAds. When a visitor lands on your website a 5
second long audio ad plays. Once the ad has played, the visitor will
not hear another ad for at least 3 minutes. If after three minutes has
elapsed, the visitor clicks to another of you pages, he could then hear
another ad, or if he refreshes the original page he would hear a second
ad. Only one ad per 3 minute period is ever played to any one listener.
Not only do you get paid for every visitor even if
they don’t click anything, they never leave your site. With
pay-per-click your visitor is gone, but not with 5 second audio ads.
Another neat thing about he audio ad program is it has a referral
program that goes down two levels. If you refer a publisher to the
program, you get money when ads play on the referrals website. If your
referral refers another publisher then you make money from those ads as
well. It stops at that point, but by referring lots of new publishers
your earnings can really skyrocket.
The audio ads do not interfere with Adsense or CPM
ad programs, and they don’t take up any room on your page either!
Yet another way to make money online with your
website is through affiliate programs. If you become an affiliate, and
direct visitors to an advertiser’s website, and the visitor makes a
purchase, you get a commission. That’s pretty much how affiliate
programs work.
So mix and match your advertising for maximum
earnings and go take a cruise ship vacation or something.
