5 Simple Steps to Monetise Your Site

Now more than ever before, web publishers have a vast array of tools at their disposal to help them make money from their site visitors. Online companies are willing to pay you for qualified visitors that you can deliver from your site. If you are looking to make money from your site, then you should take a look at the following options.

Google Adsense

By putting Adsense links on your site you can make money every time a visitor clicks on one of those links. When you set up an Adsense account you create a piece of code using a simple online interface that will automatically generate the code to add to your page. The links will then be created based on the content of the page so your visitors will only be directed to relevant products and services. We use Adsense to monetise this site. 

 Kelkoo

Kelkoo will pay you for referring visitors to their site.  Once the visitor is directed to their site, you can earn every time the visitor clicks on a merchant. As most visitors to comparison sites click on more than one merchant, promoting Kelkoo means that you can earn multiple times for each visitor. Kelkoo use TradeDoubler to manage their partner program. Sign up to the Kelkoo partner program on TradeDoubler here to start earning.

Miva

In the same way as the Google Adsense, you can publish targeted ads through Miva on your site. Using Miva differs slightly from Adsense in that it is a less automated process – you will be contacted by an account manager who will draw up a proposal based on how to best optimise the traffic from your site. Miva also offer more advanced options such as exit traffic optimisation and ad units completely customised to your site. You can sign up to the Miva program through OMG here

Shopping.com

Shopping.com is a price comparison site (similar to Kelkoo) – you can earn money by referring visitors to the shopping.com site through a wide range of baners and search boxes. You can customise your links to fit into the theme of your site and earn up to 25p for each click. Sign up the Shopping.com partner program through TradeDoubler here .

Affiliate Programs

Most online merchants offer affiliate programs which allow publishers to earn commission for every sale generated form a visitor referred by that publisher. By signing up to an Affiliate Network you can choose the specific merchants that you want to feature on your site that you think your visitors will be interested in. Commission rates vary but you can generally earn higher percentages when you refer more sales. Sign up to networks such as TradeDoubler , Affiliate Future and Affiliate Window today and choose the merchants you would like to feature.
