Effective Ways to Monetize Blog Traffic



Methods to consider:

Monetization of your blog traffic can be 

accomplished in several ways. Some are easy 

and some are a little more complex. The most 

straightforward way is to use a "pay to 

post" service where you get paid by a third 

party to post blog messages. Another is 

where people pay you to include links inside 

your blog posts to their products or 

service. These two both first require that 

you have an established blog with loyal 

readers but can generate income. The amount 

of income is going to be a direct result of 

your traffic levels.



The fact is that if you have traffic to your 

blog then there a number of ways you can 

generate income from each post. One of these 

is to include ads in your highest traffic 

areas of your posts. You would offer to 

place an ad into your blog's highest traffic 

areas for a fee based on the amount of 

traffic that section of your blog will 

receive. This is very straightforward, very 

common and an extremely easy way to add a 

new revenue source to your blog.

An extension of this is to use a Cost Per 

Click (CPC) program (Adsense) or add 

affiliate links and earn when a visitor 

clicks a CPC ad or from each order generated 

through affiliate links. The best part of 

these methods is that these require very 

little effort or work to get started. These 

methods can be done quickly and can be 

expanded over time and has the potential to 

provide a good level of income each month.

By far, the most lucrative way to make money 

from your blog traffic is to offer something 

that people want and then charge them to 

access it. In other words, your visitors 

have to want to pay you for what your write 

about. If not, they will go away to another 

site on the same niche. There are many 

things that fit into this category like 

eBooks, video instruction courses or 

podcasts. All you need to do is find a niche 

that other people are already interested in 

and are already paying for content and focus 

your energies there.



Things you should know ahead of time:
Before you try to monetize the traffic to 

your blog, you need to know a few basic 

points to insure your success.

First, you need to know your niche. Say your 

blog is focused on dog training products. 

You do not want to place ads, links or 

products that are unrelated to that main 

category of dog training products. Keep it 

all focused on your niche. Remember, content 

is king but it needs to be quality and 

tightly focused content to keep the search 

engines and your visitors coming back for 

more.

Next, you need to know where your traffic is 

coming from and where it goes when they 

leave your blog. Most web hosting companies 

like Host Gator offer a suite of tracking 

tools to help you with this, so take 

advantage of what they offer. Reports are 

available that detail the time of day, what 

and how many pages your visitors viewed as 

well as what day of the week the visitor 

came and how long they stayed. You can even 

run a report that tells you what page is the 

starting point of every visit. This kind of 

information is golden. BUT only if you use 

it.



Why should you keep track of the click path 

for your visitors? With this information you 

could target your audience with ads, guest 

posted articles or through comments to 

articles on other sites that your visitors 

frequent.

Once you're up and running, you can build it 

from there or move into other niches and 

repeat the process.
