Let’s Monetize The Blog In A Decent Way
Thursday, October 4th, 2007
Monetizing a blog has always been the hot issue for bloggers. Adsensing served good for sometime and is still profitable if done effectively. Adsensing is, however not the only way to monetize the blog. There are many other ways, including selling links, banner space, and contextual links.
Out of the above mentioned monetizing strategies, one I believe more profitable is ‘selling contextual links’. Others may also be, but as I’d good experience with such and there’re some sound reasons for this as well. These reasons may be as follows:
- More you sell the contextual links, more you increase your content through daily updates that Search Engines love to visit.
- Your readers do not feel boredom as they find a new link to explore with each post.
- Link in context doesn’t harm your Search Engine reputation, as other forms of link selling may do.
Though much attractive but selling too many contextual links at very low prices also harms your paid link market. Pay Per Post, Review Me and some others also provide a good platform for bloggers to get some advertisers, but they keep a major portion of the price of the link and to make a good amount from blog, b
loggers just rush the paid posts irrelevant to the niche of their blog and ultimately blogs either lose readership or just get messy.
Getting in direct contact with advertisers is the most suitable strategy in this regard, but some contextual networks I’ve worked with like, Smorty, v7n Contextuals and Dewitts Media are really very good.
The good thing about them is that they give you the opportunities only related to your blog niche, fast payment, and a good amount for a link as well. SO if you’re on the way to monetize your blog in a decent way, do try these three.
