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.
B12K : How Much Is A Website Worth
Aug 5th
Yes i’m starting a new blog , this one , and of course like every webmaster one day i’ll want to know how much is my website worth , a thing that will help me realize if i did a good work and if my blog is going on the right direction , so of course if one day I decide to sell it , I’ll know at what price .
In the “real” world, properties are assessed according to the estimation of real estate agents commensurate to the price set by the seller, the buyer is also judge since he holds the decision to purchase.
When looking on Internet how the estimation of a website are made, it is clear that most people have a big problem in determining the real value of a website.
If you think your website has some value, it is useful to estimate it , and the aim of The following article is to help you in this delicate process.
The basic rule says that the value of a website is calculated according to the profits made during the last 12 months .
Then there are speculative values as the domain name, traffic, PageRank, positions within the search results, etc..
Of course, some sites are not estimable from the income generated. Among the major transactions that took place, some sites have never been profitable but have found buyers at high prices. let’s take as example the acquisition of YouTube by Google for 1.6 billion $, while the site was lacking and continues today to not generate sufficient income .
Thus, if your site does not generate income, but has a high PageRank or traffic is consistent, it has some speculative value which is difficult to assess.
In the end, it is the buyer who will determine the price because the owner may give any estimation to his website, but it’s always the one who will pay that remains the master of the negotiation.
The following tools take into account certain parameters, including those that I talked about above, which are then compiled in order to derive an estimation . It is interesting to use several tools to have an accurate price.
