Isn’t that what everyone wants? To be able to make money from blogging? Well here is your answer. Its called Advertisements. There are a bunch of sites out there that allow you to place ads on your personal or commercial website / blog, and earn cash for doing so! So why not? Its pretty much free money, if people click on your ads! So here are some simple secrets / things to know before you get started with making money online with ads!
Theres 2 general secrets for making cash online. 1. Produce good content, so a lot of people will go to your site! The more people that go to your site, the bigger the chance of getting them to click on your ads! 2. Put them on more than just your homepage! If someone clicks on a direct link to one of your posts, and theres no ads to click on that page relating to your content, then you could have just missed a few clicks! The more clicks, the more money. Keep that in mind, and remember not to click on your own ads. (From your computer. Hehe.)
All these services are free. The amount of money you actually pull in, depends on how much traffic your blog gets. Chances are, if you get tons of visitors on your site, you have tons of ad clicks, and you will pull in tons of money.
Here are the most popular choices for advertisements on your website.
1. Google AdSenseEveryone uses AdSense. Whenever you go to a page, and their are rectangles with a picture ad, or a rectangle with small links inside them, thats AdSense! The person that puts those ads on their site, gets paid everytime someone clicks on that ad! Each click could be 2 cents, or it could be up to 3 dollars per click. Remember that many publishers out there make a living off of advertisements. They pay the bills sometimes. All the big bloggers out there, use AdSense most of the time, and they get tons of money, because so many people visit their site and click the ads! AdSense produces ads related to your content, in image ads or text ads.
2. TLA (Text-Link-Ads)TLA is along the same lines as AdSense. The ads look the same but they wont say ‘Ads by Google’ under or above them. These ive heard, dont bring in as much income per click as AdSense. Its still a great alternative. You can use TLA along side AdSense ads, so you wont have to choose between the two!
Update TLA (Not Confirmed) - Ive heard from ShellTrix that you might need 1000 hits per day to sign up for Text-Link-Ads? My first blog didnt have that much traffic, although i did have TLA integrated. This might be something new, but i havent heard or seen anything official. You might want to confirm that one by signing up.
3. Yahoo! Publishers NetworkYahoo! also has an ad network, which some might not have known of. This one is fairly new to me as well. Yahoo! ads, are the exact same as Google AdSense ads, but it says ‘Ads by Yahoo!’ instead of Google. Theres no real difference between the two, but Yahoo!, ive heard, tends to bring in more income.
4. AdBriteAdBrite ads, are the ads you see when you rollover text-links, and a small hover window pops up with an ad in it. These ads are the first ads i was ever exposed to. I remember seeing these a long time ago. They are still live today. Theres a choice between text and image ads, like Yahoo! and Google ads.
5. Auction AdsAuction Ads, are alot different from the previous 4, in a couple of ways. There are no image ads, and not text ads. Well not in the shape or form that your used to. These ads are in a banner, displaying products that are up for auction on popular sites like Ebay, and Amazon. When the users click on the ads, and buy the product, the site notifies Auction Ads, and they pay you for it! This one is really good for a site that has to do with a product. It will usually post products that are related to your website content like the previous services.
So theres 5 of them, im sure there are more, but these are the most popular. If i missed one, that you think could be essential to this post, let me know! Im open for discussion. Also, all of these services use the same format of placing the ads on your site. You copy a usual javascript / html code, and paste it on your site where you want it. Its much easier if your using platforms like Blogger, or Wordpress, where they have simple integration options.

Update - After browsing the web alot after creating this post in the beginning, i see that there are litterally a ton of Ad services. Some are harder to find than others. You will end up coming across them if you do a search for Ad services, or you come across them on someone elses blog. Many of these wont be pointed out by anyone, but they could still be worth going for. Also, there is always direct Ad services. Without using something like Google, you could do something like GigaOM, how he has people pay him directly through PayPal, to straight up advertise their product or site on his blog. Although he is professional, people still might want to get the word out. [Update Continued Below]
Referral services are crucial too. Stes like PayPal, Feedburner and many other services like this, allow you to advertise for them if you get enough hits, and get paid for them. These are usually hard to come across without actually searching, so good luck. [End Update]
