In the last post we started Promoting Web Sites. I feel behind on the Antique Tea Pot Site. But anyway we told the search engines the site was there.

Some people set up blogs and web sites as hobbies, non profit, clubs, business’s and never put one ad on them. We don’t do that. We build these web sites to make money online, Right? It sounds greedy but it’s not. Putting up blogs and web sites that follow the search engines criteria to be included in the index’s is not easy. You must continuously add fresh relevant content that engages users and follow lots of rules when doing it. Now is the time to decide if you want to make money online or not.

Placing ads on a web site is a business so I suggest setting up Microsoft money 2007 or Quickbooks and keep track of everything you make. Start now if you start building lots of sites like I will write about, your income can take off pretty fast.

There are literally 1000′s of affiliate programs on the Internet. I will pick some companies that handle the best programs and post them in The Affiliates Category. There are two that are the most important. The first is Pepper Jam. PJ has some of the best payouts on the Internet and they handle part of The EBay Affiliate Program. I do not recommend applying directly to ePN right now. If you are new to affiliate marketing it would be a good idea to read eBay Partner Network Changing Daily. The other ad network Affiliate marketers need is AdSense the google ad network. Learn how to create channels so you can see what ads work. One more to get started with id Incent Rewards Affiliate Program. Choose programs that are relevant to your site and once your accounts are up and running I suggest only applying to programs you think you can use. Also set up affiliate accounts to send email to your secondary email. You will receive lots of offers via email.
