How do you make money on your blog?

I only use adsense now. I tried affiliate links before but it didn't work.

If you lost your page rank you may STILL get search engine traffic but if you did have it your site would be higher most likely. Would suck to run a business where 90% of customers go to the white pages to find you but you're not there.

Are you here long term or short term?

PPP etc can be done if you use no-follow. It SHOULD be about advertising after all. Basically everything you do think; am I being a responsible net citizen and would this pass a manual review of legitimate advertising? If no... scrap it. There are so many programs out there that there is something for everyone.

If you have no traffic yet you should be focusing on THAT first then the advertising; it's the horse then cart

FYI, our blog marketing social networking site, SocialSpark.com, requires no follow tags. Also, it's all in-post disclosure.

We have tons of publishers who use CPA based ads to monetize their blogs.

CPA based ads can include just about any niche and payout. For example, you can offer users free samples, free information etc.. I would be more than happy to explain this to anyone interested. Simply PM me.

i could definitely use the answer to this question.

[Educator]

Write quality posts to attract site advertisers. Demonstrate to your site advertisers by the quality of your blog posts that you offer them a quality advertising site and they will support you.

Yesterday I was asked out-of-the-blue by one of our site advertisers if we would like to hold a contest where the winner will receive a $100 gift card. The only catch is that the contest has to be relevant to our site's niche. No problem at this end at all.

I then asked if I could have a couple of more gift cards so more than 1 person would win. They said, 'sure'.

So, on the weekend I'll publicize the contest and then hold it for a 3 week persion starting just before US Thanksgiving. Basically it costs me nothing, will attract (hopefully) more visitors to our site, and so on.

That's awesome. It gives the exposure and doesn't endanger the site of being unethical.

I started a frugal living blog and am starting to see a little return on being an affiliate for coupons.com

I think that selling PLR books (or packages) through your blog and carefully using cloaked affiliate links through the post words (about 3 links per post) could be sources of income in addition to adsense. Of course review posts with links to the products are also great... The point is building traffic.
Another way is offering a free report to subscribers (through opt-in form) and use OTO on the thank-you and download pages. THis is a combination of blog and other web pages.
