Selling Advertising Space

This is another option for monetizing your blog: getting paid by others, usually on a monthly basis, to place ads on your site.





However, this method also requires that your blog is fairly successful to begin with. No one will pay to put their ads on a blog that gets 4 traffic hits a day.

But if your blog is doing well, receiving a steady flow of visitors every month, and making some money on its own, then it might be a good time to consider this option.

How do you get people to pay you for adspace? Well, assuming your blog gets a fair bit of traffic, you could simply place your own ad somewhere on your blog calling out advertisers. Problogger does this.

You could also contact other blogs in your niche and ask them if they would be interested in displaying ads on your blog.



The amount you'll get paid will ride primarily on the amount of traffic you get. Your blog's Page Rank and Alexa Rank may also affect the pricing.

Another option is to join an ad network. Ad networks serve as brokers between advertisers and publishers. In order to be accepted into an ad network, your blog will likely have to meet certain minimal traffic requirements.

Blogsvertise and Blogards are two examples of these types of ad networks.




However, if you do join an ad network, be prepared for them to take a cut of your profits.
