The most commonly known way to monetize your blog is with Google Adsense. You go to Google and apply for an Adsense account. You place Google’s code on your site and they do the rest. Google then places ads relevant to your blog topic on your site. When your visitors click on an ad you get a percentage of what Google gets paid by that advertiser. Sounds simple, and it is.

Other companies such as Yahoo and Bidvertiser are getting in on the action too.
The only thing you have to decide on is the type of ad you want Google to place on your site, the size you want it, and the colors. Some ad styles work better than others. For color choice it’s usually best if the ads blend in with your blog. You don’t want them to stick out like a sore thumb.

If you want your Adsense to be successful you need to leave it alone. You need to concentrate on really great, focused content. You need to develop a readership for your blog. Loyal readers that will keep coming back and tell others about it. The best way to do that is with great content.

If your blog is about cars and you mention that people shouldn’t park under willow trees because the sap will ruin the finish that’s fine. But if you go on to tell them what trees they can park under you’ll likely end up with ads for Smith’s Tree Farm or The Tree Doctor. If your visitors are there to read about cars they’re not going to click on an ad for trees.

Keep your posts on-topic and very focused. Don’t stray from the main idea or topic. If the ads coming up are relevant to why your visitors are there in the first place they are more likely to click on them.

You take care of putting up great content and let Google take care of the Adsense. I hear they’re pretty good at it.
