Tips to monetize your blog.
It has been more than a month since I have written any tip for new bloggers, so today in this post I am going to write some common, but effective tips to monetize a blog or website. If your blog or website is new, then I will recommend you not to use any advertisement for at least a month because putting advertisements might make your visitors feel that you blog only for money. You can start monetizing your blog after a month or two. Here are some tips to monetize your blog -
- Find a most clicked area – Before putting any advertisement in your blog, first find a most clicked area, to find it, place a small badge or image (the badge should be attractive and should match your theme) with analytic code (to track number of clicks) in your sidebar. After a week or two check your analytics and if you find 100+ numbers of click, then this means you can easily make money by putting an affiliate ad there. There are varieties of affiliate ad networks, you can choose according to your niche, here on Extreme Trix we are using HostGator and WidgetBucks affiliate program.
- Advertisement between posts – You can earn a good amount of money by blending Google Adsense, AdBrite, Chitika or WidgetBucks advertisements in between the – post. If you are using WordPress (self hosted) as your blogging platform, then can easily show advertisements wherever you want on your blog using Advertising Manager plug-in (which is one of the top-10 WordPress plug-ins).
- In-line advertisements – If you get 5000+ daily page views on blog, then In-line advertisements are best way to make money. Here on Extrene Trix we have tried Kontera, AdBrite in-line and currently I am using Infolinks.

Most clicked ads are
1. Above the post on left hand side.
2. inbetween posts.
3. below navbar links.
@Rajesh Kanuri and @Dinesh Most clicked area depends upon the theme we are using. Extreme Trix’s most clicked ads are WidgetBucks and Budding Bloggers in the sidebar.
nice post,
in the single page, the biggest rectangle, covered with content all sides works best. for inline ads info links is the best, and good to know that you are already using it.
