How Can I Make More Money With My Blog? Alternatives To Adsense

Welcome and thank you for choosing Source Blogger. Half the internet talks about making money online, doesn't it? But do they ever really show you how? There's got to be a better way, right?

"Be honest, Source Blogger. What does it take for me to make money online?"

In a word...traffic! (doesn't it seem that everything boils down to traffic?) Even sites that are able to convert a higher number of their readers into sales, would definitely improve their sales figures with more traffic.

"Ok, Ok...I've been following you recommendations for optimizing my site. But, what can I do today? I need to make more money! Fast!" 

The first thing I'd encourage you to do is read How Much Money Do Bloggers Make Blogging?

I don't want to discourage bloggers from making money, because there are distinct methods and approaches of making money online. Unfortunately, it only starts to become clear years after many failed blogs and trial and error.

That's why you need to subscribe to Source Blogger. Instead of spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on some "new system of making money" by some "guru", all it takes is a free subscription to Source Blogger to get even better advice than they could EVER offer. It's your choice. But, if it were me, I'd choose Source Blogger.Did I mention we are F-R-E-E? (laughs)

So, we've already mentioned that more visitors to your site equates to higher earnings. Online, you can expect to make money by these methods: Clicks (PPC), Action (PPA), and Impressions (PPM). Don't be intimidated. These are very elemental concepts for you to understand and to implement on your blog. (If you use AdSense, you are already familiar with CPC.)

If another blogger tries to impose their view against you making money online, you send them to me. It is your blog. You have a right to be compensated for the time you invest in your blog. Don't you? Even it's $50 a month, it's better than making no effort whatsoever, right?  Misery loves company. And your success in generating blog revenue will be a reminder of their failure. Don't cave in. 

So, with 250,000 blogs created each day and 2.5 million new posts, how will anyone ever find your blog and at a rate that will satisfy your need to earn more blogging revenue?

No one said it was going to be easy. One element in your favor is endurance. I recommend you read this. This article should provide you some hope.

Source Blogger is determined to make you a better blogger. We'll do this together. While you work on creating strategies on increasing your blogs traffic levels, let's focus on what to do today.

AdSense

AdSense is a great initial method of monetizing your blog.

But, soon after, you will realize that AdSense's revenue stream on its own, is very meager! Specifically if you receive less than 1000 visits a day, with a bare minimum of 750 uniques. You definitely want to read this article that received a lot of attention recently during "Your Blog Sucks" Week on Source Blogger: Your Blog Sucks! You'll Never Make Any Money Online Like That!

If you have become frustrated with AdSense, it's time to start shopping for more AD networks. If you haven't looked, there are hundreds, if not thousands to choose from.

"So, I should abandon AdSense?"

Of course not! I can easily provide you resources that work in conjunction with Adsense.

Here's one suggestion: 

Change your ad placement! Reach your visitors wherever you think they're most engaged on your site. Place your zones on the most-viewed areas of your site, particularly on the areas directly above and to the left of your core content. Ads that users must scroll down to see, or that are far from your core content, may earn significantly less revenue.

If you have any concerns whether your site may be in violation of Google Adsense Terms of Service / Program Policies, you need to read this immediately.

Alternatives to AdSense

First of all, yes, it’s OK to use AdBrite in conjunction with AdSense. It does not violate Google’s Terms of Service if you want to use both programs on your site or blog.  

We've actually discussed AdBrite here on Source Blogger. If you missed it, you can catch it here: How To Get Paid From CPM Advertising Without Annoying Your Traffic!

By the time you finish reading this post and also read that other article, we think you should be pretty convinced.

AdBrite: Some Advantages Over AdSense 

For CPC, let us say there is no better than AdSense.  But, AdBrite does offer some advantages: 

1)  You have the option to approve ads before they appear on your blog. 

2)  You have more control over the design of your ad space. You can easily change the font style, text size, etc. and choose either a horizontal or vertical layout.

3) The minimum payout is only $10.00!! Google's minimum payout for Adsense is what? $100? How many months/years will it take for you to "unlock" the earnings you already started making with AdSense?

And the best part? AdBrite is very easy to join!

We've even speculated on whether AdBrite would be a strong takeover target for Google?!
