Blogging for Dollars
Blogging for Dollars
By S. Housley
Blogging for dollars might sound like the latest game show or
some new drinking game, but it's the latest craze to hit the
Internet. Bloggers began blogging for a number of reasons, but
as the blog movement has increased in popularity, they have
found ways to monetize their blogs and are seeing their
commitment pay off. Whether a blogger's focus is to
communicate with customers or just to have fun, they have begun
looking at ways to earn revenue from their blogs. The most
popular ways for bloggers to earn some added cash for their pet
projects are: 1. ) Google Adsense in Blogs
Google AdSense allows webmasters to dynamically serve
content-relevant advertisements in blogs. If the visitor clicks
one of the AdSense ads served to the blog, the website owner is
credited for the referral. Webmasters need only to insert a
Google-generated into the blog or blog template.
Google's spider parses the AdServing blog and serves ads that
relate to the blog's content. Google uses a combination of
keyword matching and context analysis to determine what ads
should be served. 2. ) Affiliate Programs (Product
Endorsements)
Affiliate Programs work when an affiliate web site receives
income for generating sales, leads, or traffic to a merchant
website. Generally, bloggers will mention or endorse specific
products and if site visitors purchase the product, bloggers
will receive a portion of the sale. 3. ) Product Promotion
Businesses use blogs to detail how specific features or product
add-ons can increase functionality and save time. Content-rich
product promotion will help with search engine placement. 4.)
Banner Ads
While less popular than in the past, websites with high traffic
levels can still earn decent revenue by selling banner space.
As the Internet evolves bloggers will continue to seek out ways
to monetize their opinions and thoughts. Daily journals and
online blogs have become more than just a communication means
to many. About the Author:
