Make money from your blog without alienating your visitors

It can be really difficult to make money with a blog just because there are so many different options for advertising, and if you choose the wrong one there’s nothing that puts people off like bad adverts. At the same time the reason many people start a site in the first place is to earn money so what’s the best solution?

For me the most important thing is to target your advertising to your traffic and for this to work you needs both specific advertising and traffic. This can be hard if you have a general site with lots of different topics but one solution for you could be google adsense, it works out both what the content on the page is about and also how the visitor found it, i.e. if they came from a google search.
If however you have a niche site with targeted traffic you are much better signing up to a specific affiliate program that is matched to your visitors. It’s important though not just to throw the default banner ad they give you onto your homepage because often people will ignore something that looks like a blatant promotion. Say for example you had a health and fitness site, instead of a banner ad why not list the top 5 multi-gyms in a post at the top of the homepage with affiliate links to the store to buy. People are much more likely to take notice if your advertisements are both integrated and relevant to your content, can you see the difference between this and a pop-up ad?
One of the best ways to earn money from your content is to create a case study of you using the product in question because it’s much more likely to be shared by people. For example in the fitness store example why not do a full report on what it was like to use the gym for a month and post your results? You could go one better and create a video of you using the product and explaining why you love it, this is the kind of content that drives sales, not un-related banner graphics!
