B12K Debate : Bloggers , How go you make money?
Dec 22nd
To have some traffic on its blog is a good thing, but to monetize, remains a big challenge , Inevitably, this is a question that tickles all bloggers. Hundreds of new blogs are created each day but success stories remain rare and turning  your blog into a money making machine is not as easy as it seems .
In essence, ad services are targeting websites with a high traffic. Even if some Blogs can make thousands of unique visitors per month but they are rarely a source of interest to them. However, despite with a traffic of less than 10 000 unique visitors per month, Bloggers are considering ad services as their main source of income, but not all blogs make such a huge number of visitors, which means that other solutions exist .
Once bloggers start looking for a way to monetize their blogs, their first reaction is to think about Google AdSense, which offers a very known and trusted pay per click advertising service that nearly any blogger can make benefice from. The automated registration and the easy management of sponsored links is also one of the main reasons why bloggers chose adscence . in terms of performances, the contextualization of keywords can increase the click rate (1 to 5%) compared to a traditional campaign (banners , ..).
As you may surely have noticed Content is the king of the Net and it’s also the case for blogs. This leads to the emergence of new Display Network always proposing new ways to monetize your traffic
But let’s say it high and loud, AdSense is not everything, there are also a lot of ways of making money (CPM network, CPA Network ,affiliation network,Lead Generation networks,…)
So my question is , how do you monetize your blog , and what are your main sources of income ,let’s discuss them,the debate is opened and your comments are welcome.
