How to make money online 2

If you have carefully read the previous steps for geting started and building up your site traffic, now is the time to turn the traffic into money.

First i'd like you to know that having only google ads won't fully monetize your website and although you will have revenues those will be small revenues. This whole blog is to teach you how to fully monetize your website do the extent that your work will basicly be your website and you'll earn as much and even more than you would earn if you had a normal job.

You've probably come across some other websites and blogs stating that they will teach you to make money fast and easy. You will do as they required but you're still making little or no money. Some websites stating that they will teach you to make lots of money fast and easy are scams and what they really intend is to use you. They just want you to buy their books and when you buy them you found out it's a classic cheat and you'll even be lucky if the book or e-book has money making content.

This is a blog soley ment for you, to teach you to make money the REAL way. It's easy and safe way to make money you just need to be a little patient.
So let me continue...
So after you get the traffic on your website/forum going it's time to start earning money. So depending on what publisher program you've chosen - Google ads, AdBrite or someone other you need to place your ad code. Now you've surely read about optimizing your ad-zones and this is true. One thing is having an AD-zone and other thing is having an optimized AD-zone.
So basicly you need to put the ADS on the best possible way but there is no such thing as knowning the best place. The thing with optimizing your AD zones is by changing the AD zones and seeing when you get the most clicks. Now more clicks doesent always mean more revenue but it has the best potential and if something has potential it is worth more!

Basicly the point here is there is no known best place to put the ADS and in order to find the place you would get more clicks you need to search for it and see for your self. Same goes for ADS colours.

So overall this is the end of the begining, by now you should have good amount of traffic to your website and it's just a matter of time to optimize your ADS.

How to make money online

So say you found your best suiting publisher program and you must be wondering now what?-Well this is only the first basic step, money won't come just like that and you have to monetize your website and use it to the maximum extent.
So you first need to build up your traffic. There are numerous ways to do this, such as submiting your website or forum to search engines, advertising it, link exchanging, optimizing your website keywords and text and adding a image-link from your website to various forums.

-Submiting your website to search engines
instead of looking to put your website to as many search engines as you can and loosing time and patience with that you only need to put your website in the top 3 search engines: Google, Yahoo and MSN/live search.

-Advertising your website
Sometimes in order to get something you must give something, so you can call a little advertising as an investment in your website for huge return.The best advertising program for now is Google AdWords. But instead of paying a lot of money for a quick trafic boost you need to take the slow way. This means that you need to put 50$ dollars/euros advertising money. Choose the best audience; for example is you have java games website you need to advertise your website to some similar group, in this case another jave games websites, entertainment website sand/or general games websites.You should choose minimum payment. For example if you put 20$ a day you'll get around 60-80 visits but if you choose 3$ you'll get around 15-25 visits. So you do the math but the best choice is 3$ a day and this way you'll get more visitors per week and plus the longer you advertise your website the more people will see it and know it even if they do not visit it through the ADS.

-Link Exchanging
This is quite easy. What you need to do is find some website or forum like yours with similar content and then contact the webmaster/administrator of that website/forum. Make an agrement and you both show each-others image-link on your website redirecting to the others website. Note only affiliate/exchange links with websites/forums similar to yours who have worse content than yours as if it's otherway around you may loose your website visitors!

-Optimizing your website keywords and text
The easiest way to find out the best keywords for your website is to use Google AdWords program that scans your website and shows you appropriate keywords for it sorted by relevance.
Optimizing your text means that instead of using general terms for writing something you use specific words.
For example if you are runing Xbox360 games website instead of writing console games you write down Xbox 360 games in the description of your website as well as the news, review or other text you have/want to put on your website!

-Showing your website
One of the free and easy ways of attracting visitors is by puting an image-link(image with link)on forums you have accounts and are active. This is a slower method and does not produce many returning visitors, infact it will produce only around 5-15% returning visitors but it's easy and simple to do it and will boost some new visitors to your website!

-Innovative ways of increasing traffic on your website
For some time now there are newer ways of showing your website. This are innovative and interesting ways but you can expect some increase in traffic.
The first way is using video hosting websites such as youtube, yahoo videos, google videos and so on... You need to create/edit an interesting video, something that will attract more people. For example you can do a slide-show type video named "TOP 20 best cars for 2006". You then choose your own best cars pictures and share it online.

Second way is using social/communication websites such as myspace, hi5 and so on... You can do this is number of ways. First you need to put a picture of your website in a banner form on your main profile page, second is to put a website image in your image gallery, third is to post your website link in all your comments and last but not least is to email all your myspace "friends" teling them about your website.

Third way are websites such as: digg, delicio, diigo, furl and so on... This way is when you have some stable traffic on your website. By making users post your website contents on these websites you'll get even more traffic to your website.
