Working hard to Monetize your website or blog

I have been working away on this blog testing and tweaking different advertising mthods. After reading Mr Chows Monetizing Tips it gave me some great ideas.

You’ll notice some changes on the advertise page and on the right hand side I will be making some more changes. I going to try and get more of a sponsorship deal for the premium spots and rather than have rotating adverts which I know advertisers don’t like, I’m upping the prices slighty to offer one ad only spots. I’m implimenting the code from OpenAds (a savior) to other positions to test out what I can acheive with a little out of the box thinking.

If you want to make money from your traffic, you must try and squeeze as much as you can from your website or blog without intrusion to your visitors. I think this is very easily done, think like the visitor of your site. Would you like to see an advert in an annoying position? If so remove it and try something different. There are lots of options out there, some that I cannot get access too…yet. For instance, AzoogleAds and Kontera. Both of which I’m not that fussed with.

There has been a lot said over the net about Adsense lately and I for one have pulled it from this blog. This was a while back though, as I think it offers awful conversions when compared to other options out there. Google, start giving the advertiser more maybe…?

Possibly offer other ways to publish your adverts, like contextual maybe.

I’m still working hard on making the advertising options on this blog simple and cost effective, as well as easy to purchase. The Affiliate button has been up in the nav bar for a while now and I’m working on this to bring an in house Network of affiliates that will drive traffic here for a commission which means I can continue growing and improving this blog for my readers.

Thanks for staying around…watch this space, I mean blog!
