Are you trying to monetize your blog by selling advertising slots on it? If so we will be discussing how and where you can go to buy and sell your advertising slots for your blog and to begin the process of making money online with your very own blog.
Selling advertising space on your blog
You are new to the blogging world and have just started your very own blog by using one of a dozen blogging services or have discovered wordpress and have just set up your blog on this blogging platform. You may be asking yourself now what? Now you need to write blog posts that are relevant to what your blog is all about. Once you have got quite a number of these posts up and have got a constant number of visitors to your blog, then this is the time to start looking at ways of monetizing your blog.
Forms of advertising on a blog
Let’s have a look at the various monetization options out there that one can adopt onto their blogs to start earning some extra money online.
- The most common money making tool out there that a lot of bloggers are using is Google Adsense pay per click which is easy to implement for beginners. If you have got a great stream of traffic to your site you will make some good money from this.
- Another tool that is easy to implement is Kontera ContentLink Ads which are ads that are shown within the content of posts and when someone clicks on these ads you are paid for that click. This is another pay per click alternative, this works well if you have high volume traffic stream to your blog.
- Then you’re got websites out there like Text Link Ads which sell text links in their big market place which are displayed on your blog as text link ads normally in one of the blog columns.
- Then the big one is the banner ad which can fetch some big money in the blogging world. If you have high volume traffic stream to your blog and it has been around for awhile then you can use banner ad tools like OIO Publisher that allow integration of all types of ads like: banner ads, inline ads, text ads, paid posts and you can also customize your very own ads. OIO Publisher is a great tool and I would suggest it to advanced bloggers who have well established blogs.
- If you are really into your writing you can utilize your writing skills and make some extra money by writing reviews of websites through sites like PayPerPost which has a larger market place where you can advertise to write a review for people and their websites or blogs.

Text-Link-Ads have done the best for me to this point.
I made a mistake about 6 years ago and as a result I lost my Adsense account. I tried to explain to Google that I it was a mistake but they aren’t too forgiving. So I don’t make money with Adsense and I don’t like most of the alternatives.
Another is Intellilinks, I have only been with them for a three months now but my income has almost double each money. This month it’s not quite doubling but I could expect that to continue happening.
I don’t get tons of traffic to my sites so I took Kontera off for now. I wasn’t making more than about 50 cents a month. I will activate the plugin again when I reach about 300 – 500 unique visitors a month.
