How to Find a Publisher on a Web Page

1. Look on the website for a name of an organization or company. This may be listed at the top or as part of a logo or trademark. Look for a 'contact us' link and determine the organization's official mailing or telephone number.
2. Examine the page URL. This is located in the address bar following the 'http://'. The type of domain may give you a clue to the publisher. Domains with .edu are from a college or university. Domains containing .gov are a federal or local government website. Other domains such as .com, .net or .org can be personal or corporate websites.

3. Look up the owner of the website using a 'whois' search. This is a tool that gives information about the person or organization that has registered the URL. Enter the URL into a website that provides whois information (see resources). Validate your request if prompted by typing a word or phrase into a box (this is to verify that you are a real person). Read the report and look for a parent organization or individual that registered the website.
4. Do further research on any parent organizations to determine what kind of information they provide. Many hate groups use another website appearing legitimate to promote their cause.

How to Set Up an Advertising Website

Preparing Your Website for Advertising
1. Design a visually appealing website that is easy to navigate. Place advertisements above the fold, meaning visitors shouldn't have to scroll down to view the ads. Remove any unattractive images or widgets to make room for the ads.
2. Analyze your traffic. Advertisers may not want to pay to be exposed to your traffic if it's too low, so give your website time to get regular visitors that will appeal to advertisers.

3. Target a specific audience. If you write a blog for moms, make sure all posts relate to topics moms are interested in. Don't deviate from your audience just to make a fast buck. Advertisers will appreciate your laser focus.
Set up Advertising
4. Choose an ad networks if you aren't very technical or if you have low traffic. With networks, someone else does all the hard work for you, and you simply paste the ad code into the code on your website. They will track visits and pay you based on clicks. The drawback is ad networks don't pay much.
5. Work directly with advertisers to secure advertising packages for several months or years at a time. This option can be lucrative if your website is popular. Decide how much you want to charge and what size ad your advertisers will receive for that amount.
6. Sign up to be an affiliate for sites like Amazon or other commerce sites related to your website content. If someone clicks your affiliate links and buys something from that site, you will receive a percent of the sale.
Show Your Worth
7. Post an Advertise with Us page on your site if you are working directly with advertisers. Write a few paragraphs about your demographic statistics. The more information you can provide, the better.
8. Create a media kit listing your ad options and rates. Many companies don't like to list their advertising rates directly on their website, as competitors can see them.
9. Add a contact form to the website and email the media kit to interested advertisers.

How to Stop Typo Squatters

1. Alert the users of your website to the typosquatting problem you are having. Display a message on your home page that tells your users about typosquatters. Encourage them to ensure they are typing the correct address in the address bar before they hit 'Enter.'
2. Purchase the domain names of variants of your web address before typo squatters do. Think of common misspellings of your web address. For example, if your web address has 'ie' in it, purchase a domain name that uses 'ei' as well.

3. Submit a formal complaint to Google (see Resources) if the typo squatter's website has Google Ads on it. Google will remove ads from typo squatters' sites.
4. Submit a complaint to an Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers approved dispute-resolution service provider (see Resources).
5. Hire a lawyer to help you sue the typo squatter(s) under the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act.

How to Make Money Online Writing Poetry

1. Populate your poetry blog or website with advertising. Services such as Google Adsense will provide you with ads and a portion of the revenue when each ad is clicked. Online retailers such as Amazon.com will pay you a portion of the revenue from goods sold to a user who has clicked an ad on your site. Drive traffic to your pages by maintaining an active online presence, adding new poetry to your blog or website on a regular basis and promoting your work on social networking sites.
2. Solicit website advertising from local businesses for a flat fee. Gain a local following by participating in spoken word events and poetry jams. Promote your site by gathering names for an email list, sending out regular newsletters and tracking the number of visits to your site. Once you can demonstrate your online poetry has an audience, approach local businesses such as small bookstores to pay a monthly fee to have an ad on your site.

3. Publish pieces of poetry on revenue-share websites. These sites include Hubpages and Squidoo, which pay writers a portion of the revenue earned from each post. Depending on which revenue-sharing site you choose, you may have to place your poetry within the context of an article or otherwise tailor your work to the demands of the platform.
4. Submit your poetry to online magazines, also called zines. If your work is accepted for publication you may receive payment depending on the editorial policy of each zine. Many zines also run poetry and fiction contests, which may require an entry fee but offer a sizable prize to the winning entry.
5. Submit your poetry electronically for publication in print magazines and journals. Your poetry may not end up online through this method, but if it ends up in print you'll have used your online savvy to reach the publishers willing to pay you for your product.

How to Earn Money Blogging

1. Sign up for advertising sites like Google AdSense, Chitika or Kontera to add advertising links to your blog. When one of your readers clicks on the link, money is paid into your account. Never click on your own links.
2. Sign up for affiliate marketing websites like Linkshare, ClickBank, Shareasale and Google Affiliate Network. You'll need an established blog with several blog posts to qualify for most affiliate partnerships. Whenever someone clicks an affiliate link on your website and purchases a product from your affiliate partner, you receive a commission.

3. Sell advertising spots on your blog to companies. Once you have incoming traffic and growing popularity, approach companies that fit with your blog topic. Offer advertising space on your website for a specific monthly price. This type of advertising differs from a program like Google AdSense, which only pays when someone clicks. Selling ad revenue guarantees monthly income.
4. Turn your blog into an e-book. Companies such as Amazon, Apple and Smashwords allow authors to self-publish their work on their electronic platforms. Assemble your blog content into an e-book using their formatting guidelines. Advertise your e-book to your blog traffic and on your social media networks to generate sales.
5. Sell your own products on your blog. Technology bloggers may want to sell WordPress templates or their own programming applications. Sell your expertise using a membership site. Fashion bloggers with craft experience can create crafts, jewelry and clothing to sell. Figure out what your skills are and sell them on your website.
