There are many ways that bloggers can monetize his-her websites! I know the most traditional display and banner ads are most popular, but I believe using a combination of advertisements may be what works best, especially for most of us who are newbies!

It boils down to the 'search' folks. Information is out there, but are you looking for it in the right places?

Yeah, you probably won't find much there! You need to look in the right places. Using an ad network because your friends are.....is like doing anything just because others are doing it, not smart!

Ad networks don't seek us out, we seek them, so it is smart to know what 'type' of ads you're looking to display. There are a number of ways to advertise for another organization. I believe it is important to concentrate on your 'niche' when seeking out advertising.

The bigger ad networks give you a time frame to earn, usually between 30-90 days before an ad will expire, but if you search your 'plug ins' you will find pages and pages of ideas for monetization. You will need to search 'ads' or 'monetize' to find options compatible with your website.

Many options will appear in the results, the ones with check marks by them, are compatible with the version of WordPress you're using. This option allows users to better search for 'niche' advertisements.

One other option I use often is Google....you can find endless results for affiliate programs, you will have to decide which ones will suit your site best.

I plan to blog about this subject soon. Several ad networks don't require your site to be 6 months old...usually just the popular networks....so why wait 6 months? Did you know you can even monetize FREE games and earn every time your visitors play?

Stay Tuned!! Stop waiting, search your plug ins and get to affiliating!!
