How to Make Money Online Displaying Ads on Your Blog Part I

If you have an established website or blog, one of the most preferred ways to monetize it is through displaying advertisements from various online ad networks.

Online ad networks are generally middle-men or third party that help one make money from his or her site’s or blog’s content through serving ads from advertisers.

What are the benefits of online ads in monetizing a blog or website?

1. Online ad networks already have advertising clients that will rid ad publishers (blog or site monetizers) of the trouble of looking for direct advertisers. 

2. Whether a website or blog is small or big, whether it has large traffic or a modest amount of traffic, surely an online ad network exists to complement any ad publisher’s site inventory.

3. Online ads are easy to implement. Usually, an ad publisher simply needs to copy and paste the code that will display ads.

4. Many online ad networks allow ad publishers to customize the ads that will show on their sites.

5. Ad publishers have the choice of displaying pay per click (PPC) ads, pay-per-action (PPA) ads, or ads with a flat rate.

PPC ads - This is a type of advertisement model that makes an ad publisher earn a commission whenever the advertisement is clicked. The most popular ad network offering this type of monetizing a blog is Google AdSense.

PPA ads - Another type of advertisement model that earns an ad publisher some money when a person buys, signs up for a newsletter or any action that the advertiser would want a person to do when he goes to his site.

Flat rate Ads - This is when an online ad network displays an ad on a website and agrees to pay a flat rate for every month or any duration that the ad is going to be displayed.
