Of course, you can promote your own products or services if you have ones. This is the best option to succeed because this way you receive a 100% profit of what you sell. Another way is to buy resale rights, promote the products using AdWords and keep all the profits too.
However, majority of us do not have our own products or services. Therefore, we can join various affiliate programs and promote them. However, what programs to join?
Picture this... You have selected an affiliate program that looked promising to you; you researched your keywords and set up AdWords campaigns. You wait for your profit to roll in...
You spend $10, then $50, then $100 on the AdWords advertising and still do not see a single sale...
Does sound familiar?
It happens to the majority of new advertisers after they run their first AdWords campaigns. In addition, you probably think that making money with AdWords is just another swindle and it does not work.
Well, there can be many reasons why there was not a single sale made. Moreover, one of the reasons may be -- *affiliate product selection*.
The online ebooks like GoogleCash and GoogleAdwords123 have excellent sections about how, where and why to select one or another affiliate program to advertise using Google AdWords.
When choosing a profitable product you have to check sales letter carefully, product owners should pay high commissions, place lifetime cookies on visitors' browsers, etc.
However, what I couldn't find in any of the e-books that I have read so far is that you should promote two-tier or residual income (with lifetime commissions) programs.
When you promote your affiliate links, you need to know two very important things about two tier programs:
1. You will earn big money on every direct sale you make.
2. You will make even more money when people use it to sign up under you and start promoting it! Imagine an entire army of several 100's, each selling the affiliate products - this would mean 100's of commissions for you, altogether equalling $ 1,000's in your pocket every month!
Good examples of residual income affiliate programs are hosting companies. My websites, for example, are hosted at Host4Profit:
http://tny.se/9P
Host4Profit offers killer tools at an affordable price and is easy to handle.
If only you could recruit several of customers for two-tier or residual income products or services, you could make thousands lifetime.
Therefore, for locating the affiliate niche market, first think about the topics, you are interested in. For example, this could be:
Sports -> Specifically: Soccer Pets -> Dogs -> Dog Pictures Cooking Indian Cuisine -> Curry recipes
And so on. Notice how we have broken down those main categories into sub-categories. Now this could be taken further and further…
Soccer -> Learning foot tricks Dogs -> Dog Pictures Curry Recipes -> For the lactose intolerant (curries contain a lot of cream!)
This is niche thinking in action.
Do not get stuck on too broad niche categories. Most new affiliates face this common mistake!
After you have found your niche, you should examine if an affiliate product already exists for this niche. Remember first to look for the two-tier or residual income affiliate programs.
If you cannot find one, another option is the Clickbank catalog:
http://tny.se/9Q
Act now; select your target niche, an affiliate program and implement the strategy that we just talked about. This is what super-affiliates do. They implement new ideas immediately.

5 Simple and Easy Ways to Advertise Online
Some people say that advertising is everything! Regardless if you have a product, a service, a hobby website or just want to share pictures of your wedding, you have to advertise somehow to get the traffic to your site or blog.
But not all traffic is equal. There are services that can help you drive tons and tons of traffic to your site and it won't do you any good at all because it's not targeted traffic.
Take for example all of the many different 'surf for traffic' or 'traffic clicking' programs that are out there. If you have a website that is about your hobby, say model airplanes, then what good is this traffic really going to do you? Who's using these services?
Webmasters and marketers that want traffic on their own site. So they most likely won't spend any more time on your page than is required by the little timer these services use and then they are gone again. Even if your site is about these traffic services (this is about the only time you will see very much benefit from using such a tool) you will still have to spend a ton of time just surfing and clicking around to get a real benefit from these programs. Once marketers realized this they switched gears. They started promoting all the different programs to a lot of other marketers to get them in their downlines, so they could get some traffic as a bonus. This became their new focus. The problem is that everyone else did exactly the same thing, so not a lot of people were surfing the internet anymore.
Bottom-line is this. You need targeted traffic. So here are some tips on how you can generate exactly the traffic you need and bring the visitors you want to your website without having to chase after them.
1. Content
What is your website about? Do you just have a page with a lot of links and not much else?
If this is the case, think about adding some content to your website that will be of value to any potential visitors. You could write articles or find articles at one of the many directories that you can reprint on your site.
2. Talk about your experiences in your subject matter.
You don't have to put up some kind of resume (although that can work too), but rather try writing about what you are doing, as it relates to your topic of choice. Let's look at the model airplanes again briefly, you could talk or write about the latest plane type you built, how the last time flying your plane went, what challenges you run into or perhaps even post some pictures of your plane or of you flying it.
3. Forums and bulletin boards.
You could add a forum or bulletin board to your website where your visitors can interact with each other. There are a lot of free services available out there that you can use to either remotely host a forum for you, or even software you can install on your website's server. To find some of these, just head over to your favorite search engine and you will definitely find plenty to choose from.
And while you are visiting the search engine, why not run a search for any bulletin boards and forums that are already out there for your chosen topic? You could visit those and interact with the visitors there and since many allow you to post a signature or a profile, you could add a little line about your own site with a link (just check the rules of the forum first so
you don't violate any of them).
4. Start a blog.
Blogs are very popular and search engines love them because they provide constantly new and fresh content. Your blog would be a great place to talk about what you are up to that day. So if you spent some time today buying new parts for your plane you could write about where you found them, how much they cost you, why you chose those parts, anything really goes.
The really great part about this is that you can point links from your blog back to your website, so when the search engine stops by to grab and index your latest content, it will also stop by your website and you will start seeing very targeted traffic heading your way.
5. Write articles.
Writing articles isn't hard and can be a great source of fresh, new traffic to your website. There are a lot of ezines on any topic out there and there are also a lot of directories where you can share your article.
Basically, what you do is write an article and then add a small resource box that links back to your website (just like a signature) and then let other ezine publishers know that you are allowing them to print your article in their ezine. And many publishers go to the article directories to find new content for their newsletter and even their websites. And since there are
websites and ezine newsletters on any imaginable topic out there, you can't lose. Write an article every couple of days and post it in the directories (even one a week or every two weeks will start getting you traffic). Very soon you will find new traffic coming from search engines, newsletters and websites.
Best of all, these 5 simple tips will bring targeted traffic, meaning the visitors are coming to you because they are interested in what you wrote.
So there you have it. Whether you have a simple and basic Work at Home Business or a significant Internet Marketing enterprise you can benefit from these 5 easy and simple ways to advertise and drive traffic to your website at absolutely no cost.
But not all traffic is equal. There are services that can help you drive tons and tons of traffic to your site and it won't do you any good at all because it's not targeted traffic.

The idea behind this article arose from a simple observation: joining with my web page fattori arcani ( in English arcane factors ) a Seo national contest, I have been able to explode doubts and gossips about Google that have been going around for a long time in the SEO sphere and had the chance to test in a good lab what really affect Google spider (Googlebot) and what leaves it totally indifferent.
The reason why this experience revealed itself so much fruitful is very simple: normally when you work as a SEO you find yourself in a competitive and confused scenery, competitors’ pages can be studied and analysed, thus giving you a hint of what worked and what did not. Nevertheless, you must deal with a silent speaker since the competing Seos are anonymous names hidden behind their company’s logo.
The backlinks have been accumulated in years and it is difficult to state with certainty what really revealed itself effective and what did not. You go through the page code trying to grasp its secrets, but often you end up crediting some elements with an enormous weight though their influence is nearly irrelevant.
Joining a contest like this, however, a dialogue is established among opponents which work together to learn which factors produce a serp rise. They assist to the sudden expansion of the serp to thousand of results in few days where first had been only desert, and, at the same time, check the creation of new backlinks thus controlling their actual influence on the serp.
This long premise is necessary to understand the scenery in which my web site was developed: the home page has been created in just twenty minutes (as can be seen by the particularly raw look of the page) with the single purpose of conducting a test on search engines, particularly Google,which is a reference point to the positioning studies for any website because of the enormous share it draws. The result of the tests and studies has been a progressive and continuous review of the pages in the semantics and in the structure, a surgical job that slowly took it to the highest rankings on the serp of Google.
A successful experiment hence, from which arose the idea behind this article: the idea of sharing with others my conclusions, in accordance with the principle of “community” behind the contest and the net. I will try to unfold in this article the stage and the factors that have brought this site to be top ranked in Google (and other search engines).
When the contest began Google only returned a handful of results for the combination of keywords fattori arcani (arcane factors): few results in the serp and mainly pages devoted to the topics magic and tarots. It was obvious that the search engine had associated the query to the thematic (and semantic) area of occultism. Immediately, in a sort of mass hysteria, the competitors rushed to record dominions composed with the words arcane and factors. As far as my experiences are concerned, I made a false start since I was too slow to register the best dominions and had to choose a second-choice dominion.
In a couple of days the trend of the contest (and the doom of the new pages, mine included) seemed to be already set: Google showed in its serp only pages with a high degree of "seniority" and/or backlinked by high-PR-websites (obviously of ownership of the competitors), most of them related with the occultism topic. If it had all came to an end this way, there would not have been any article and in this moment I would be in some SEO forum complaining about the faulty working of Google. Fact is, in the following days the scenery changed completely and brand new pages began to climb serp: among these pages there was also my own…
But a technical digression is highly needed: what happened behind the scenes of the websites and of Google to cause such a revolution? Two essential things happened:
1) Google started expanding its queries associating the combination of the keys arcane factors to the topic of positioning and optimization as well.
2) Competitors’ pages had been slowly reviewed and edited along these two thematic and semantics areas, magic and SEO positioning.
But the main question is: How was it possible that my web page was shifting from the status of search engine ghost to the highest positions of the Google serp? We have to keep in mind that I did not have any backlinks from own web sites because I did not want to soil clients and corporate pages for a personal, playful contest. Furthermore I had a brand new dominion and I had to pay attention to another issue: contents. It is very difficult to create interesting subjects in so few time, in order to induce other websites and directories spontaneously to backlink to your website. Who could take an interest in recommending a nearly empty page, featuring just a recurring and obsessive use of the words factors and arcane. I had to develop a double strategy: one for backlinks, the other one for optimization.
Studying my (visually poor) own web page I almost immediately noticed that it had a potential element of interest for the visitor: it represented, indeed, a sort of real-time surgery operation on search engines, as it was itself an experimental web page created for the only purpose to climb the serp, I could take advantage of this element, taking updated records of what had been changed. It was itself a page that can be also a storyteller producing itself information about the contest, explaining the techniques while using them. This simple idea gave me the opportunity me to create interest ( which means backlinks) from pages and directories that would have otherwise overlooked my webpage. It is a simple lesson: the cleverness of a SEO can neither be measured by his networks of connections nor by the extension of his promotional only sites. The imagination of a SEO is also of high importance, showing thus how much he is skilled in coming up with elements of real interest for pages which, originally, had nothing really captivating. I could come up with many other examples but the most important thing is to grasp the concept of creative web marketing and to keep it always in your mind.
I had found a solution for the backlinking problem (external optimization), yet I had to deal with the internal optimization of the webpage. This is a main issue when your goal is to meet the ranking standards of Google and other search engines. I had to make my best effort to optimize the page, beyond the well-known principles of the SEO’s science. The quality in the optimization of a web page is not only determined by the meta structure or by keyword stuffing. We are dealing with advanced search engines, capable, such as Google, to quickly expand the thematic area of a query deducing by the ”supply” (the web pages) associated with that keywords what the navigators’ demand should be.
Even if it is possible, at least theoretically, to deceive the search engines with technical trickeries as spam and keyword stuffing (dizzy repetition of key words), it is advisable to do more and better than that: You should present the text in a readable and grammatically correct form and, above all, you should identify the topics and semantics that fit best the search engine query .We should always keep in mind, as we tweak our page for internal optimization, that Google uses thesaurus to find synonyms and create term classes that fit the combination of keywords. In the example of arcane factors the thematic areas are two: positioning and magic. Starting from this observation I decided to get the most out of this idea and to exasperate it, playing with the synonyms and the semantic areas to positively impress Google. There is another lesson in this experiment: instead of stuffing your webpages with endlessly repeated keywords, try to understand what is the true question asked by Google, what thematic (and semantics) area it associates to your keywords.
The most peculiar thing about this test is that it exposes a lot of common beliefs such as that a webpage cannot climb or even appear in the serp of Google before a period of at least three months, that Google rewards the advertisers, that a backlink from a Pr5 page will necessarily bring you on top of the ranking.
There is, at last, another important lesson, perhaps the most important one, that can be drawn from the experiment of the contest arcane factors, a thing that should be obvious but that even the best SEO often forgets: Google has become the internet colossus that is now thanks to a good algorithm and to excellent ranking criteria that are held more secret than the Coke recipe, that in the turn of a few years revealed themselves superior to those of the competitors. It is evident that the years elapsed have not been wasted and the algorithm has grown in complexity and effectiveness. Let us write it on the computer, let us pin it on our clipboard, the important thing to keep always in mind is: It is nonsense treating Google as a antediluvian search engine degrading ourselves to childish and naive tricks. Instead we have to learn to treat Google as a serious and sophisticated engine: certainly it will reward our एफ्फोर्ट्स.....

A Few Important Tips For Starting Your Home Based Business
There are numerous reasons why people choose to start a home-based business. Some of those reasons include:
1. Dissatisfied with their present employment situation.
2. Out of work due to being laid off or downsizing by their employer.
3. A need to be home more with young children, an infirm family member, or aging parents.
4. A yearning to be their own boss.
Whatever your particular reason for exploring a home-based business, there are a few common steps you need to take in order to launch your business.
First off, you need to come to grips with reality...be realistic in your expectations. Far too many folks read advertisements that are hype and imply quick money, and lots of it, from a home-based business start-up. It will certainly take a year, and in some cases it may take up to three years, before you begin to truly make a significant profit from your business.
I have helped a large number of people start up their own home-based businesses using the Internet. Over time, I have come to recognize two of the most important factors for identifying people that should NOT start a home based business. If a prospective entrepreneur says something like...
"I'm broke and need to make some money, fast!"
or,
"I want to start a home-based business, but I don't want to spend anything on it until after I start earning some money."
...it is certain that they have not addressed reality and, with that mindset, they will most certainly fail.
It takes a lot of time to successfully market and promote a new business. If you are planning a home-based business in order to spend a lot of time with young children or care for the elderly, a full-time business (and income) may not be a realistic objective.
Second, spend some time researching your business idea. Make sure there is truly enough of a market for your product or service. It's easy to fall into the trap of having a hobby or passion for something that you like to do and just assuming that you can turn it into an economically viable business.
Third, learn as much as you can about small business. There is a wealth of information available on this topic and the US Small Business Administration is probably as good a place to start as any. Just go to http://www.sba.gov/ and navigate to the sections dealing with home based businesses.
Fourth, write a business plan. It is your roadmap to reaching your objectives. There are numerous articles on the Internet and in libraries that can assist you in developing your business plan as well as addressing the many other issues involved with starting and operating a business from home. As a starting point, here are a couple of Small Business Administration website locations that should prove useful:
http://www.sba.gov/starting/indexbusplans.html
http://www.sba.gov/library/pubs.html
And last, but not least, seek the advice of a tax professional. Your first reaction may be that you can't afford such expenses right now; but, in reality, you can’t afford not to seek such advice from the very beginning of your home business start-up. They can advise you about ways you may be able to reduce the amount of taxable business income at the end of the year. Paying for an hour or two of consultation with a tax professional at the beginning will probably save you much more than that amount later on down the road.
I never cease to be amazed at the number of people that seem to think that some magic is somehow created when you put the words "home based" in front of the word "business". It's still business...it just happens to be based in the home.
1. Dissatisfied with their present employment situation.
2. Out of work due to being laid off or downsizing by their employer.
3. A need to be home more with young children, an infirm family member, or aging parents.
4. A yearning to be their own boss.

There are numerous articles on the Internet and in libraries that can assist you in developing your business plan as well as addressing the many other issues involved with starting and operating a business from home. As a starting point, here are a couple of Small Business Administration website locations that should prove useful:
http://www.sba.gov/starting/indexbusplans.html
http://www.sba.gov/library/pubs.html
And last, but not least, seek the advice of a tax professional. Your first reaction may be that you can't afford such expenses right now; but, in reality, you can’t afford not to seek such advice from the very beginning of your home business start-up. They can advise you about ways you may be able to reduce the amount of taxable business income at the end of the year. Paying for an hour or two of consultation with a tax professional at the beginning will probably save you much more than that amount later on down the road.
I never cease to be amazed at the number of people that seem to think that some magic is somehow created when you put the words "home based" in front of the word "business". It's still business...it just happens to be based in the home.
The How and Why of Buying Traffic for Your Website
Need more traffic on your website? You may want to consider buying it. When you buy traffic, you are almost guaranteed to get traffic. Many of the services that dedicate their businesses to building traffic for other websites offer a guaranteed number of visitors on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, making this one of these easiest and fastest ways to get traffic on your website.
If you have never heard of buying traffic before, or if you want to learn more about how it works, here are some frequently asked questions in regards to traffic buying that can help.
What Kind of Businesses Buy Traffic?
Buying web traffic is not necessarily a new Internet marketing concept. In fact, there are many online businesses that have been doing it for years. Though many of these companies are established already, they are not the only types of businesses who use such services. Sometimes the only way that a new, unknown site can get traffic to their website is by buying it. Competing with large sites is tough, and sometimes, search engine optimization techniques aren’t enough to boost a new site’s rankings in the search engines.
Where Can You Get Traffic?
There are many online services that sell website traffic. To find a sampling, simply type “buy traffic” or “get traffic” into any Internet search engine. You will be faced with so many different options that you will have a hard time choosing which service to go with.
If you are looking for referrals, consider visiting forums that have members who are online business owners or web developers. Many of the people who post in these forums may have already used one or two traffic building companies. In most cases, they will be able to offer you information on their experiences.
If you are unable to get a referral, don’t base your decision on cost alone. There may or may not be a difference between a traffic building service that offers 10,000 visitors per month for $20.00 and one that offers 10,000 for $30.00. Always inquire about services, as well as costs. Good questions to ask include:
-How do you bring traffic to my website?
-Do you ever use spamming techniques?
-What type of traffic will be targeted—specific countries, specific languages, etc?
-Can you guarantee that I will get traffic?
-Will you provide me with stats?
-Do you offer customer support?
-How much will you charge me if I want to buy traffic?
-Why is your service better than others?
Where Do Visitors Come From?
When you buy traffic, most of the visitors you get will be from banner ads, pop-ups, pop-unders, and layers ads (ads that float around on the screen). The ads are placed all around the net. When a web visitor clicks on the ad, they will be taken directly to your website.
Is Traffic Guaranteed?
This is a tough question to answer because it depends on the service that you use to buy traffic. Some services guarantee that you will get traffic and others do not. Even if they do guarantee traffic, they cannot guarantee sales. They cannot even guarantee that when you get traffic, it will stay on your site for more than one second. This is very important to remember when deciding whether or not to buy traffic. Whatever you decide to do, make sure to track your traffic, your sales, and your overall results. Once you have analyzed everything, you will be able to easily determine if buying traffic to get traffic is in your best interests.

Making Money from Google Adsense
There is nothing more rewarding than receiving the check of hard earned money. You must have seen thousands upon thousands of online testimonies of how they 'got rich' from Google Adsense and how they make thousands per week. Some of these stories are not entirely false.
The main secret behind making money from Google Adwords/Adsense program is content. There is no shortcut. Content is the first step behind any successful money making website. Of course, there is SEO-ing, but content is what drives the potential customers to your site. How much you are willing to invest will determine how much you will make per month, but it is possible to make money without spending a dime.
First of all, you will need a website. Assuming your content will be purely textual (since Google spiders crawl on text/keywords), you may either get a domain and hosting or choose to post to a blog, or you could sign up for free ad-supported website. It is recommended that if you plan on making money from your website, you ought to get a website with your own domain name, after all, ad supported hosting defeats the purpose of your money making; plus, you want your website to appear as professional and less congested as possible.
Now that you have a website, the next step is getting content for your site, but we'll get to that at the end of this article.
Now that you have a domain name and a niche, you will have to sign up for the Google Adwords Program. Note that Google Adwords enables you to get paid for advertising and Google Adsense is when you will have to pay for advertising.
Now that you have your domain with efficient hosting, and your Adwords account, you will need to build your site. If you are already a site-creating guru, then you are a step ahead. If not, creating your content site is not purely throwing out HTML pages. Sooner or later, content is going to keep growing and you may either get an efficient content manager or get hired help.
Traffic makes the difference between you making money or you not getting a dime. In order to get traffic, you can either optimize your website or get traffic by spamming. Now, remember that spamming will not get you repeat visitors, and will give your business a very bad reputation, plus, spamming may cost your website not to be listed on search engines, and Google has the right, under the 'Terms and Conditions' to revoke your Adwords account. You definitely do not want to start from scratch.
Traffic can come by word of mouth and efficient SEO-ing. SEO is an enormously broad topic that ranges from content, link popularity, link exchanges, keywords, web description, etc., to website rankings and so on. In order to remain on the top of your niche, you will need to always want your customers coming back. In order to keep that traffic flowing, you will need to keep content coming fresh and keeping your site constantly optimized and up to date. You will need to be aware of most common spider crawling techniques and use it to your advantage.
Another most common made mistake in getting website content free and cheap is to copy other websites or repeat the same information (if you have more than one money-making site). This is a bad move! Search engines will see this duplicate content as spam and remove it from searched results. Also, if you copy and paste content that is not yours and/or of public domain you will be infringing copyright. Copyright infringement is a crime.
Remember that signing up for Google Adwords is free. If your website gets rejected at first, don't worry. Just build your site and re-apply. As long as your website is legitimate and is not an 'about-me' site, you are more than likely to get approved. Plus, having an Adwords account opens you to the Google community and you can increase your PageRank dramatically.
Good luck on your first check!

How To Make Money Online
It seems everyone wants to know how to make money online these days. There are many programs that allow people to make money but there are many more that are setup to take all your money and disappear. The problem is trying to find the good ones and stay away from the bad ones, and reduce your odds of losing money.
The trick to making money online is not rocket science. It’s quite simple actually. It all boils down to research, start small and diversification. You’ve heard about diversification a million times. The problem is that diversifying is very difficult for most people to do because they get too caught up in one program, or stock or whatever it may be. They see huge gains and think if they can make this much money with a small investment, they can make much more if they invested even more money. Then if their investment program fails, they’re out 100% of their money. This happens time and time again and so many people don’t learn from their mistakes. They rationalize that the current program is nothing like the failed program and they do it all over again.
You need to diversify with any investments you decide to pursue. One of the hottest things going today are programs called Paid Autosurf programs. There are a handful of reputable companies that pay nice returns to their members for browsing through their advertisers websites. This is such huge business that more and more large corporations are offering these programs as well.
As great paying programs come along then it’s only natural that all the scam sites and thieves come out to take advantage of the opportunities. That’s just the way it goes these days. You need to be very careful. Some of these great looking websites come across as being sincere and honest and they have only one objective. To get lots of members and one day close up shop, and take everyone’s money. This happens every day.
That’s why you need to research the programs you join, invest small and diversify across a few programs. So if one of them doesn’t work out, you have the other programs picking up the slack as you replace the failing system. You also need to start small and build up your investment amount. If a program takes a minimum $4 investment, then invest about $20 to see how it goes. When you make a profit, reinvest until you’re using your earnings to generate more income. Then you have nothing to lose. You’re now using the company’s money to generate a nice income. As you start to make more money, reinvest a portion and take some money out to pay yourself. That’s it. If you do this with a few programs, you will maximize your earnings and minimize any losses.
The other thing to be careful of are mirror websites. These are sites that look exactly like a well know respected website, but have links that are designed to steal your information. As you type in your username and password, these scam sites steal your information, go into your real account and rip you off. You also need to protect your PC from viruses and spyware. Some of this spyware can be very nasty and steal all your login names and passwords. You should protect yourself regardless of joining these programs. If you do online banking or any sensitive business on your computer, you need to be very careful and protect yourself from these threats.
As with any investment, there is some level of risk. Don’t invest more than you can afford to lose and always start small and build up your accounts as you earn money in the programs. If you follow these simple recommendations, you will do very well for yourself. Also, don’t get attached to any one program. Even if one of the programs pays the best and seems like they will be around forever, please remember nothing lasts forever. Even the best run, well intentioned businesses can fail. Just remember to diversify and you’ll be fine.

Hobbies are the easiest subject but look at your professional skills as well. The key to making money with Google Adsense is to create content in mass quantities. The more you post the larger your Google check will be at the end of the month. Don’t let yourself get into the trap of not writing because you feel it might not be an important subject. The key is to dump the contents of your brain out onto the internet. I’ve had very good luck writing articles about products I’ve used or events in my life that have taught me things.
How Money Will I Make With Google Adsense?
How much money you make is entirely up to you and your efforts. The amount depends on what subjects your web content covers and how many visitors your web content sees. Some subjects have clicks that pay very little while other pay well per click but the conversion of people who visit the site and those that click is very low. The trick is to find subjects that generate the level of income that pleases you and then keep cranking out more content to grow your income. Many people after few months of self created content get $10.
