How to Monetize Your Blog Using Two Popular Ad Services

monetize blogOne of the most amazing benefits of blogging is the ability to earn money from ads related to what your writing about. There are two popular advertising methods you can use to effectively earn an online income by using ads that relate to your blog content.

The first popular method of earning money from blogging is to use Adsense to make money each time a visitor clicks on an advert on your blog. To implement AdSense on a blog is very straightforward, WordPress users can use a plugin such as Easy AdSense to manage the whole process automatically, and it even slots the ads into your content without you having to do it yourself!

The biggest strength of Google’s AdSense technology is its ability to match ads to content, using a process called contextual matching. Contextual matching allows the readers of your blog to see ads related to the article they are reading, for example a link to a camera store on the latest digital camera review.

There are few (if any) other programs on the web which rival AdSense for revenue earned and ease of implementation, simply copy the ad code into your template or plugin and you’re ready to go!

Once you have had your ad code on the blog for a while you will start to see your statistics displayed in an AdSense control panel, it will show the number of times your ads have been shown, how many were clicked, and how much you have earned.

AdSense is a very simple monetization option for bloggers, so why not give it a try to see how much you could earn?

The second familiar way of generating ad revenue using your blog is to become an Amazon Associate. Becoming an Amazon Associate is also very easy to do and help is available to get you on the way to dramatically increasing your income earning potential quickly.

Unlike ad sites, which often require that you have an already established site before considering your application, Amazon Associates lets you get started before having to prove you have a successful site.

Many bloggers make the mistake of not becoming an Amazon Associate because they believe it is all about product reviews, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Of course, selling affiliate products is perfect for product based sites, but successful Amazon Associates know that affiliate links can be used in many other ways.

If you write a blog post about a particular famous person, for example, why not increase your chance of making more money by placing an affiliate link to a biographical book about that person.

Many bloggers also use Amazon Ads for the wonderful images that can be generated, because affiliates are given the choice to make an image or text link (or both, if so desired).

Amazon commissions are generous, increasing by the number of products you sell, they also allow you to make money whether you sell the item you featured on your blog or not! This is because all you have to do is get someone to click through your link and, once they are on Amazon’s site, no matter what they buy, even if they didn’t buy the product you displayed, you still receive the commission.

Both advertising methods are vital to monetizing your blogging efforts and will go a long way to make your blog post’s compel visitors to click your ads.
