Make money blogging- AdSense and Kontera
My two cents
AdSense
I installed Adsense from the very beginning. Adsense places keyword sensitive ads on your pages. Income levels from AdSense ads, in general, are depended on how many people follow the links. When visiting other blogs, I sometimes follow Adsense links, and actually find interesting products and information. So, I figured placing them on my blog could help readers find useful information and products. Consequently, bring in a few pennies. Success depends highly on traffic, ad placement, frequency, keywords and most important on clicks.
Clicks are important for pretty much every advertisement on your blog.
Kontera provides low profile ads for your blog. Anyone with a site or a blog can be a publisher, as long as you meet the traffic and content requirements. Kontera finds keywords in your text and turns words into links. Although I enjoy hosting the unobtrusive ads on my blog, sometimes they don’t even show up, probably due to browser issues.
Both AdSense and Kontera pay you when your balance reaches $100.
Aside from Kontera and Adsense I have been looking into a couple more ways to monetize my blog. I am aiming to do so in the most discreet way possible. Stay tuned, subscribe by either RSS Feed or e-mail.
