How to Make Money by Advertising on Your Website

1. Create an account with Google Adsense. Google Adsense puts banners and advertisements on your website from various other websites. Every time one of your visitors clicks a link and buys one of the advertised products, Google places money in your account. You must reach a certain payout amount before you receive any money.
2. Join pay-per-click programs and websites. Pay per click (PPC) works differently because it pays you money when a visitor clicks a link on your page. PPC companies usually direct ads to compatible websites, which creates more interest for readers. If you run a book review website, the links might relate to sites offering books for sale.

3. Accept pay-per-impression ads to appear on your website. This method pays you a certain amount of money for a certain number of ads. For example, a company may offer you $10 for 1,500 ads. Every time the ad loads on your page, that counts as an impression.
4. Become a member of an affiliate program. Affiliate programs work like Google Adsense, but offer a specific product or type of product. You place the ads on your page and earn a percentage of each sale the advertiser makes. The amount varies, depending on the percentage share you receive.
5. Offer advertising space for sale on your site. The advertisers come to you, rather than you going to the advertisers. Give your advertisers a certain amount of time to appear as an ad and you receive money in exchange. This works best if you have a large number of readers visiting your site.
