Monetizing Your Blog

[styntru2u]

I have had many blogs in the past and I found that the best way to monetize them is adsense and affiliate network ads from companies like Ads4dough. I make a lot of money through adsense and Ads4dough on my blogs but am looking for other ways to make revenue, does anyone have any ideas?

Depends on the niche / industry IMHO.

Are you advertising ads4dough, or are you really asking?

[styntru2u]

i'm really asking, if i was advertising ads4dough I would have put in my super affiliate link. I have a bunch of blogs that generate good traffic but other than adsense and network revenue I am not making much. I would just like other ways to advertise the site.

Amazon works pretty well for me on niche blogs where there's a range of suitable books or dvd's

private ad sales are always great. I'd recommend going to niche forum's and other Webmaster forums alike to find private advertisers.

personally I have made almost all of my money online private ads. I've never had much success with adsense unfortunately as it sounds so darned easy!

Agreed. I am putting together my Amazon store now for my niche blog. The have the best tools, and materials of any program on the web. I am really impressed with them. No one else can compare.

That's exactly what I plan on doing. That is, if I don't retire early with that $5 I made in Adsense this month.

Although five dollars isn't a big money it is a lot from that program. Many people make five dollars a year with adsense!

If you're going to sell contextual links be careful as Google is cracking down on paid blog reviews.
