I will post some tips of monetizing a website, but don`t expect of getting a get-rich-quick-plan. The money depends on the website category and number of visits.

If you have a website, blog or forum, you can monetize it easily. First, you need as many visits as you can get. For this, you can use many methods, excepting SPAM or artificial traffic ( surf programs, paid to read, paid to click ). You have to know the base of internet marketing and SEO ( search engine optimization ).

If your website is in the first results of some search engines, especially Google, for some keywords, you will get visitors. To do that you need to get some BackLinks from another sites of the same category as yours and to have a lot of unique and good content. If the content is good and liked by the visitors, is liked by the search engines too and they rank you well.

After you`ve done that well, you have to put some ads on your website.

If your website isn`t porn or warez/cracks ( i don`t recommend a websites like the last listed ones ), it`s recommended that you apply for Google Adsense contextual ads. After they aproove you, if they do, you have to place the ads in the content. the most favoured places are in the header and the center of the website, right in the content, to fit with it ( same colours, same font etc. ).

You cannot place another contextual advertising on the same website where you have Google Adsense, because it will ban you. But you can place some CPM/CPA ads. CPM pays you per thousand views of ad and CPA per action. If you have many visits, you can apply for TribaFusion, CasaleMedia or others. If not, you should try Axill.com. Those ads should be placed in the header of the website, becase they have to be well seen. From my experience, the most clicked ads of this type are the standard banners ( 468*60 ) and the SkyScrapers.

This is all. If you follow all this steps and do some research work, you should manage to monetize your website.

GoodLuck
