There are a number of way webmasters monetize a website. As long as you are serving a niche audience or have reasonable amounts of traffic coming to your website then you should be able to generate a recurring source of revenue from your site.
What if my website is new?
It’s not a problem if you are just starting out, as long as you follow some important steps. In the long run you want to generate more traffic to ensure when you do find some advertisers, you are going to earn as much as possible.
How can I increase my traffic?
There are a number of ways to do this and is a question often asked. The first thing to do is make sure your content and title tags are relevant and suiting the topic of your site. Sometimes it can be hard to criticize your own work so it is a good idea to ask the advice of a friend or colleague. From getting some honest advice from others and taking a step back to look at your site, you should gain more direction into the content you need to produce and how it going to be organized.
Organize content for yourself and the bots
By creating categories for your topics or posts before you start indexing them, you are making it easier for your users, search engine bots and yourself. You can see I have done this on this blog and on our forum. I find it also helps me refer to support related documents for quick and easy reference at a later date.
Get posting and regularly
Posting regular unique content to your site is winning half the battle with search bots. They love to feed on fresh and unique new content so be sure to feed and they will in turn, return the favour by indexing your new pages in search engine results.
Get the right links back to your site
Relevant back links on well ranked pages to yours do seem to have an effect on how well your page is ranked. Depending on what category your site falls into, will vary the route you take for a link building campaign.
Take a look at some paid advertising
There are some really good niche placements available for your site. You can have a look in forums like digital point or in Thexyz’s very own Advertising Site Directory for some targeted placements.
Make use of a free listing at Thexyz Network Site Directory
We do recommend getting approved as a publisher with Thexyz Network as not only do you get a back link to your site but also it makes it easy for advertisers to view your rates and alexa information. When creating your listing you can set your own rates for CPM ad placements, backlinks, Twitter mentions and posts. Once approved we recommend creating a page on your site dedicated to advertising with your site. This can start as something simple as this post I made last week.
