How to build Affiliate and AdSense money site

If you are building your niche site in order to earn money, you have few options to monetize your web page. In general there are PPC (pay per click) and PPA (pay per action) way of doing this. With PPC you get paid if somebody clicks on your PPC link, while with PPA you get paid when somebody clicks your PPA link and buys something from the target page.

Differences

There are few basic differences between PPC and PPA. Normally PPC has more clicks with the same number of visitors, but these clicks are less paid than PPA ones. A typical PPC advertising is Google AdSense and typical PPA advertising is so called affiliate marketing.

PPC - AdSense

The easiest and fastest way to earn money, is putting AdSense ads on your page. When deciding for AdSense, keep in mind that beside traffic it is very important that ads displayed are significant. This depends on the number of advertisers that offer products and services that are similar to the content of your page where ads will appear.

Check for potential advertisers on Spyfu website. On Spyfu, enter keywords that are related to your target page, and find out how many advertisers are currently advertising for this keyword. If there is only one or two, this can be a problem since ads that will appear on your site may not be correlated with your content.

PPA – Affiliate marketing

For affiliate marketing, first you have to find products to advertise. Manufacturers / service providers offer affiliate programs on their sites. You have to join these programs in order to get special links and put them on your site. You get commission for every sale made by buyer that came from your site.

It is common practice to mix both types of advertising on the same site and thus maximize income.
