Ahoy Bloggers! Its 2013! Well its time to roll up the top sites that allows you to generate a stable income from your blogs that you write — whether or not its for fun or its done as a serious profession. On 2012, I had given you top 3 sites to generate money right, but this time I have more sites to share with you just so that you can get good profit from your blog! A little introduction right? Well its 2013 now, so earn money from blog 2013 with sites that I’ve specified in this post.
Earn money from blog 2013
As of 2013, some sites started to make the profit from bloggers a little slower and some sites like adBrite had recently closed! It is also recommend to choose some sites that will not affect your blog ranking too. This list also contains sites that are already present in 2012 & is still valid for you to use. While choosing these sites, make sure you optimize your ads to make the ads shown properly. I have reviewed all sites based on its performance and revenue. Each ads that you place from various ad publisher networks must be placed correctly in order to get the profit that you wish for. In the past recent survey, I have noticed that new bloggers & about 30-40% of intermediate bloggers just apply some random ads on different places without caring about the site layout — They just place some random ads that fits the template that they use. Well this won’t make you any revenue. So do place the ads where the visitors can easily view it while they read your content.

Which type of ads to display? I’d recommend you to have atleast 1 Medium Rectangle (300 x 250) ad to be placed on the right or left side of the content (Like I did to my blog), Leaderboard (728 x 90) on the top or bottom of the page as well as a Large Rectangle (336 x 280). The dashboard for tracking your earnings is very neatly designed by the Google team. The first page itself shows the data you need such as your Unpaid earnings, earnings for today so far, earnings for yesterday, earnings for this month & the earnings for your previous month. Another main type of ad type is “Search” inside Adsense. Basically what it does is that, it will build a custom search box for your blog and can be easily embedded into your blog. It will show ads to the search results too, which can generate you more income from it. While putting ads, Just make sure that it fits correctly to wherever your planning to place. Make sure that its an area where there is chance for people to click. Mostly all the bloggers would place a banner ad just between the article as well as on the sidebar. While choosing the text-based ads, make sure that you edit the color of the ads to match the your blog’s theme. Again, newbie bloggers do just put the default text colors to get the code fast, Well come on… by waiting a few minutes to apply the correct colors for the ads will make you generate the income that you wish for!
PostLinks
Currently, PostLinks give credits to users while the advertisers purchases links from your sites. Depending upon the Page rank of the website, credits are :
Home Page PageRank | Credits Earned Per Month |
---|---|
PR 1 | 1 |
PR 2 | 5 |
PR 3 | 10 |
PR 4 | 20 |
PR 5 + | 40 |
Only problem I had encountered was that, on one fine day I did get a warning saying that the PostLinks Plugin wasn’t working properly and I didn’t payed much attention to it resulting to the loss of whole earnings & restarted from 0! I do recommend this service as this service will surely earn money by selling you contextual links ads for your website — but again, depends upon the number of posts that you have & the Page Rank. Starters, This is your deal. With a simple WordPress plugin installed — Your ready to Go! By the way, their support rocks! Faster reply than others!
Text Link Ads
Currently Text Link Ads supports WordPress, Joomla, vBulletin, Drupal, ExpressEngine, MovableType, phpBB, MOD platforms. While you submit your site to them, your site will be reviewed by Alexa Rank — Mostly they will accept sites which have at least 1,000,000., Page Rank of at least 1 & the content of your site.
Each ads that advertisers purchase starts from 5$ in which you will get only 50% of the money. For example, If an advertiser buys an ad worth 6$/mo. then you will get 3$/mo. and the rest 3$/mo. would be their commission — for me, its fine!
