The Art Of Making Money With A Website
- 10 Comment
There’s an art to making money online with a website or blog. It’s not just a matter of creating a site, slapping on a few google ads or affiliate links and rubbing your hands with a shrewd smile as the money comes rolling in on auto pilot.
I’ve said this before, a lot of your success will come from the passion for what you are doing. Anyone with passion plus a little skill and motivation to produce quality content for a website can generate an audience, keep people coming back to a site and ultimately monetize that website traffic.
To make money online with a website a site owner needs to work over a long period of time attracting attention. That attention then gets sold to advertisers for a fee or the attention may be used to profit from your own product or service sales.
Another “part of the art” to a successful money making website or blog is content. The key foundation of a great site is good quality content but some people slip up in deciding exactly what good content actually is.
Good content consists of well written, informative articles and useful advice.
A website needs to enhance a visitors life giving them a pleasant view of your site and having them leave wanting to come back tomorrow or the next day.
Your website visitors do not want to be presented with nothing but advertisements, affiliate promotions and paid reviews.
I feel that as long as you have a little website traffic you are only going to make a little money. But start applying better thought out strategies and planning to the art of your blogging or website content and soon you could be making some real money online.

No offence to Siluro, but pay per play will kill your site. If you have no readers maybe but every blogger I know hates audio loading automatically when a site loads.
As Justin said “A website needs to enhance a visitors life giving them a pleasant view of your site and having them leave wanting to come back tomorrow or the next day.”

@ Siluro
Thanks for your comment but unfortunately the “Next best thing” these days normally ends up as the “Next dead thing”.

Nice article. Your right about having passion when going for your own site or blogging but also to have a good quality content. Having a couple ads into your site doesn’t hurt but not just over do it or else your site may look like a yellow page out of a phone directory book
Also if your wanting to monetize your site and have a PPC campaign have a few adwords that can target your site and don’t be specific on your adwords keywords have a lot of variation so you will know which works best.January 18th, 2008 at 5:52 am -

Traffic is easy to get. Traffic that reliably converts into money is quite difficult to get on a consistent basis.

Articles are still one of the most effective ways to generate targeted traffic.And when the visitor arrives to the site/blog, it is very important to make the site “sticky”.Have a free newsletter, or a RSS feed that is easy to sign up for, or a branded e-book you can give away.
Just my 2 cents…

Traffic from articles is still one of my favorite methods. It’s worked for me from the day i first posted an article to ezinearticles and continues to work several years later very well.
