As bloggers, we have multiple options we can leverage to monetize our websites. We can utilize Ad platforms to run advertisements, and we can likewise earn revenue without displaying advertisements on our websites. As a matter of fact, earning revenue without an Ad network is very tedious and it requires diligent work.

When you leverage an advertisement platform, earning revenue from your WordPress website becomes simpler. In this training tutorial, I will shortlist for you some amazing Ad platforms that you can utilize to monetize your self-hosted WordPress site.

A portion of these advertisement platforms have certain restrictions as far as traffic/month and minimum thresholds are concerned, and I will include those details in this tutorial as well.

Note that there are many Ad networks out there, and I am including just those which I have actually leveraged so far, and with which I have had a decent earning experience.

Advertisement Platforms to leverage when it comes to earning revenue from a self-hosted WordPress site are:

  1. Google AdSense
  2. Media.net
  3. Affiliate Marketing
  4. BuySellAds
  5. Viglink

    Hello again! I am quite satisfied with VigLink, and I am able to use the links for companies of my choice. In comparison to Shareasale and amazon, I am unable to use banners or image links from VigLink or I don't know-how. any idea?

    I'm not sure about the specifics of using the banners with VigLink, but to be honest I'd advise against using banners where possible. Text links are much better because not only do they tend to convert better in general but also they are typically viewed more because many people use ad blocks which remove the banners from the page.

    Thank you, you are right I try to use as little banners as possible and if they are small. I wanted to use a product image from a specific company that I have with viglink, but that's not possible through VigLink. it would look nice if I could display an image of the product.
    any tips?

    I would implore you to subscribe to Dale123's advice on choosing text links in place of banners due to the occurrences of ad blocks. However, if you must use a product image, it can be an image that's related to the product.

    Hallo Israel! I am with viglink now and they have some interesting merchants who offer quality products that I want to display on my site, However! Viglink randomly puts links on my site of products and companies that don't really match what I want to promote. Question! how can i control that? I just want to put on the links of companies that I choose.

    Sorry for having irrelevant Viglink ads displayed on your blog! Simiilar issues occur with Google AdSense too, but with time, things get corrected. It usually happens when you're just getting approved or just displaying ads on your site. It doesn't continue like that for a long time. Only ads that are relevant to your niche will be displayed on your site. One thing you may need to do is add a specific tagline to your blog page, so you can help the platform better understand what your passion is about. Thanks for asking! However, if you continue seeing irrelevant ads after adding a tagline, don't hesitate to let me know.

    Very interesting Israel, I have a Catholic website that I am struggling monetizing. I have 10,000 sessions.

    Which one would you recommend for my website: Viglink or BuysellAds.

    I have had GoogleAdsense but removed because it was very disturbing. Didn’t like that it was displaying inappropriate ads all over.

    Hey RiaBatista, thanks for stopping by and kudos for reading this training tutorial! If you are considering to monetize your site using a Google AdSense alternative, Viglink is highly recommended. Aside from the other benefits, it enables you to earn from outbound links generated which is not possible with other advertising platforms out there. Try it out for a week and you will definitely make the right decision as to whether you should continue using it or not. Thanks for contributing!

    Great, RiaBatista! You will have an awesome earning experience using the Viglink Ad network. Try it out in a week or two and find out if it's an Ad network you can leverage to monetize your site. You are an action taker. And action takers, they say, are money makers. Kudos for being an action taker!

    Excellent, RiaBatista! You are almost there. This is the Viglink official guide for pasting the Ad code on your site: "Paste the VigLink code into your pages to start earning. The code should be inserted at the very end of your pages, just before the <\body> tag. The code needs to be present on all pages where you need VigLink to work. The best way to install the code everywhere is to add it to your site’s template". Hope this helps!

    And to maximize earnings with Viglink, start building links and make sure to generate only quality backlinks implementing the white hat SEO strategy.
