It's possible to make money online with blog ads and paid posts. Making money with a blog is relatively easy and can be done by most bloggers, even if their blog is new.
For many people, blogs are a fun way to communicate with others. They make it easy to share interesting ideas, links and pictures. But, making money is also a worthwhile blogging goal. It's possible for any blog to make money as long as it is not plagiarized and does not contain purely adult material.
Blogs that contain either of these types of content are generally not eligible for most of the sites that provide bloggers with payment opportunities. Because there are so many sites that provide bloggers with money from their blogs, blogging has become one of the most popular ways to make money online.
Pay Per Click Ads
Pay Per Click ads are ones that pay the blogger each time a reader clicks on the ads placed on the blog. The best-known PPC ads are from Google AdSense. Google ads are generally low-paying but they are incredibly easy to install and use. After signing up, choose the size, color and types of ads that will go on the website.
Google then generates a JavaScript code that is placed on the blog. Google automatically selects relevant ads that correspond to the keywords on the site. The ads change frequently to reflect changing content on the site and new advertisers. Nothing more is required from the blogger.
Kontera is a similar system in that it requires the simple installation of a code. A blog can make money by allowing Kontera to place ads in links located in specific keywords that Kontera chooses.
Banner Ads
A banner ad is an ad that is displayed across the top, bottom or sides of a webpage. Most banner ads are displayed at the very top of the page and use animation or other eye-catching images to capture attention. Many bloggers negotiate directly with advertisers for the placement of banner ads on their blogs. This can be done by advertising the space on the blog itself, or by listing the ads for sale on third-party sites. Some people even place their banner ad space up for auction on eBay.
Other Ads
Text Link Ads is a site that places small, square ads on blogs and other sites. The blogger must apply to Text Link Ads and can be turned down if the blog gets too little traffic. TLA pays a fixed rate that's based on the blog's traffic and page rank.
BlogAds places ads of varying types on blogs, but it can be tough to be accepted. Bloggers can't apply directly- they have to get a BlogAds ad seller to invite them. The upside, though, is that the ads are lucrative and BlogAds gives 70 percent of the ad revenue to the blogger.
Paid Blog Posting
Blogsvertise, PayPerPost, Smorty and many other sites pay bloggers to write blog posts about their advertisers. These are an easy way to earn money online and can be done even with relatively new blogs. PayPerPost requires blogs to be 30 days old before they are eligible. Other sites have a one to three-month blog age rule.
For those who already have a blog, a few simple monetizing steps can turn a labor of love into a way to quickly and easily earn money online. For those who don't already have a blog, there are free blogs available. Free blogs are generally easy to use and don't require any programming knowledge. Blogger is one of the simplest free blogs, providing even the newest blogger with a way to make money online.
