How do you monetise your website? And why?

**Optimist5** · 10-21-2009, 05:23 PM

Why that way and not the other? What worked for you and what did not? Thanks!

Depends on what kind of site you are trying to monetize. For some AdSense works quite good. For some you have to find very tricky schemes in order to monetize a website well.

It depends upon your selection mate what you choose for what..

Hey guys. Thanks for replying.

This is why I'm curious: I think it is interesting to see what works (and what doesn't) for different kinds of websites, so maybe you could get and idea and try on yours.

Adsense tends to give more targeted ads increasing the chance of a clicks.

Anyone tried Affiliate advertising? Success or not?

I personally find myself using AdBrite more than any other network. I also use AdsDaq.

I'm a big fan of Google, but a passionate enemy of AdSense. It's a poorly run network where you'll find yourself banned without ever knowing why - all of your earnings gone, etc. It's far too sensitive. One wrong move and everything you've worked for has been wasted. You're better off with a more stable network like AdBrite. I've received higher earnings from them, anyway. So really it's a win-win situation.

AdsDaq is another great network I use, but it's a contextual network - so it scans the text on your page to try and deliver targeted advertisements. This is a relatively uncommon method these days. They have a nice payment system, but the earnings are substantially lower on some sites, and unbelievably higher on others. I find AdsDaq to work wonders for forums and things of that nature.

Affiliate Marketing is great if you have a very targeted site. For example, if I created a website about the xBox 360 - I would definitely use affiliate marketing rather than anything else. You can target your specific audience and try to sell them things that you know they want/need. The earnings are very high when it comes to affiliate marketing as well. However, for a more general website, blog or forum, I wouldn't recommend taking this route.

Well, we do monetize our website by selling hosting services for visitors

Let's back to business now. I do believe that any way to monetize site is good as long as it brings money for you and doesn't pi** off your visitors.

I monetize my blog through adsense. I'm handling it by gaining my traffic and assuring that my blog has a good content with a clear and simple design. So that, Adsense will noticed by visitors. And that's the way I handled my blog.

I use adsense on most of my sites, but on certain sites such as blogs I imagine affiliate programs may work better.
