As you research this topic of blogs and putting mini ads on pages, you will eventually run into something called "Affiliate programs". Do a search for this and you will be bombarded with all kinds of crazy stuff, (such as searching in the search box on THIS website) but some of the affiliate programs are worth checking in to. What kind of crazy stuff? A lot of e-books of little value, or just out there to draw in a consumer purchase. BUT there are also legimate e-books, and information that can be linked to, and with each purchase, a portion of the proceeds would go to you and your page. Here is an example of an affiliate program I ran into that seems to have some extraordinary value in determining what KIND of website you should consider putting together based on keyword values, it is called....
Or, better yet, I have uncovered a website building software that is designed with marketing online in mind, It is called
XSitePro
The way an affiliate program works, is that if you were to now, go and buy either of the above off of that link, I would get a certain percentage commision. In this case, I know it is 25% for XSitePro, or around $50.00. The problem with affiliate programs is that unless you have extradinary traffic, the chances of selling something are pretty slim, and in fact, users may buy the product from someone else's link down the road. Nevertheless, as you continue to read the posts on this blog, you will discover that many people use the affiliate system to make money on the web. They do it with more success by building a list of people who are potential buyers.
