This way you get two things. One is the few dollars for writing reviews for advertisers and second is the update of your blog. Yeah , your blog is always up to date to get more traffic from Google and other search engines.
3. Write reviews for affiliate Products

Another way to earn with blogging is to start writing your own reviews or posts on different affiliate products. In an action (e.g sale or lead) you can get a good amount of commission from your affiliate advertiser. You can sign up for commission junction, neverblueads or some other good affiliate networks and find the product you can write on, and promote. A good and helpful review always returns something.

How to Make Money with YOUR Portal Site

There are multiple ways you can make money using your free portal site. Read through the below sections to learn different tricks and tops of making money using your portal site.

Money making idea # 1 - Show CPC or CPM ads on your portal site from multiple advertising agencies: This is very basic and must-have thing if you want to start making money with your portal site quickly and effectively. It is very important that you open an account with multiple ad providers like Google Adsense, Bidvertiser or Adbrite or any similar renowned ad provider and start showing their banner ads on your portal site. Depending on what template you have chosen, you will have an option of showing 2 or more ad formats on your portal. All basic ad formats are available. You just need to log in and add the banner codes from your member's area. Once the site admin has approved your banner codes, those banners will start showing on your portal site. All new portal sites are effectively advertised on the main page of this site. You are bound to make money. It is very difficult not to make money if the banners are running on your portal site as soon as possible. So if you have not done so, please add the banners before you read other tricks on this page.

Money making idea # 2 - Pick a niche area and promote using PPC or other advertising means - This is a very effective method of making money using your portal site. Let us take an example. Let us say that you pick "web hosting" as a niche area that you would like to concentrate on. Now you can checkout the web hosting category on your portal. It is already showing many listings with 20 shown at a time on each page. What you could do in this case is start promoting this page using any valid advertising method - something like - "TOP 20 HOSTING SITES" or "TOP HOSTING RESOURCES" or something similar. You need to be innovative here. Now let us see point-by-point what happens when you pick a niche and promote it in this fashion -
# First, when you say "TOP" anything, it instantly generates interest and you will find it effective way of promoting anything. If you look at it, these are actually top sites otherwise they would not end up on top 20 places in ClickBank marketplace. So you are not really misleading anyone. So the ethical angle is also covered.
# Secondly, once you bring people to your portal who are looking for "TOP" sites (in our example we said "TOP HOSTING SITES") they are going to study your portal site looking for the advertised "TOP" sites. Curious visitors like this are HOT COMMODITY - no doubt about that. These are the potential buyers - otherwise why would they click on your ad and come to see the "TOP" sites that you have to show them.
# Thirdly, once you have curious visitors they are not going to leave before they make you money either by clicking here and there or by buying from the ClickBank sellers or by peeking into your "Top income programs" link.
All-in-all, you are going to make some money at the end of it. Very effective and very widely used money making idea folks! Use it!

Money making idea # 3 - Sell portal sites on eBay - You can prepare portal sites and buy our domain name service and once the portal is ready, sell those domains on eBay. This will need a bit of an investment and is little bit risky but if you are good at selling stuff on eBay, you can take this route. There are multiple advantages of using this money-making idea. First is that when you setup a domain, you set it up with your own ads on it. When the portal is put up for sell on eBay, while the auction is running, many visitors will come and visit the portal. They will make you money while the auction is running. Once the portal is sold on eBay, you can transfer the domain to them and add their ads on the portal and hand it over to them. It really depends on how well you sell the portal sites on eBay. More the auction winning bid, more is your profit. Not to mention that while the auction is running the visitors generated from eBay are going to make you money in multiple ways while the auction is live. There is no end to how much creative you can be in this. Just be careful and avoid violating any of the policies but as long as you are within eBay policies and policies of the services you are utilizing, you have only sky as the limit to the money you can earn.

Money making idea # 4 - Add the referral links and top income program referral codes - Your portal is not 100% effective until you complete the setup by entering all the referral codes for all the advertised programs. You will earn passive income only when you have your referral codes showing on your portal. Every day you go without your own referral links on your portal, you potentially loose quite a lot of money. Remember that it is your portal site, make sure you have everything in place that will make you money - not your sponsor. Everytime you don't have a referral link, your sponsor's link is being shown in that place making your sponsor money. You are loosing that money every day you delay.

How AdSense Works

• The webmaster inserts the AdSense JavaScript code into a webpage.
• Each time this page is visited, the JavaScript code creates an IFrame with a src attribute set to the page's URL.
• For contextual advertisements, Google's servers use a cache of the page to determine a set of high-value keywords. If keywords have been cached already, advertisements are served for those keywords based on the AdWords bidding system. (More details are described in the AdSense patent.)
• For site-targeted advertisements, the advertiser chooses the page(s) on which to display advertisements, and pays based on cost per mille (CPM), or the price advertisers choose to pay for every thousand advertisements displayed.[9] [10]
• For referrals, Google adds money to the advertiser's account when visitors either download the referred software or subscribe to the referred service.[11] The referral program will be retired in August 2008.[12]
• Search advertisements are added to the list of results after the visitor performs a search.
• Because the JavaScript is sent to the Web browser when the page is requested, it is possible for other website owners to copy the JavaScript code into their own webpages. To protect against this type of fraud, AdSense customers can specify the pages on which advertisements should be shown. AdSense then ignores clicks from pages other than those specified.

Kinds of Adsense

AdSense for Feeds
n May 2005, Google announced a limited-participation beta version of AdSense for Feeds, a version of AdSense that runs on RSS and Atom feeds that have more than 100 active subscribers. According to the Official Google Blog, "advertisers have their ads placed in the most appropriate feed articles; publishers are paid for their original content; readers see relevant advertising—and in the long run, more quality feeds to choose from."[6]

AdSense for Feeds works by inserting images into a feed. When the image is displayed by a RSS reader or Web browser, Google writes the advertising content into the image that it returns. The advertisement content is chosen based on the content of the feed surrounding the image. When the user clicks the image, he or she is redirected to the advertiser's website in the same way as regular AdSense advertisements.

AdSense for Feeds has remained in its beta state until August 15, 2008, when it became available to all AdSense users.

AdSense for search
A companion to the regular AdSense program, AdSense for search, allows website owners to place Google search boxes on their websites. When a user searches the Internet or the website with the search box, Google shares any advertising revenue it makes from those searches with the website owner. However the publisher is paid only if the advertisements on the page are clicked: AdSense does not pay publishers for mere searches.

AdSense for mobile content
AdSense for mobile content allows publishers to generate earnings from their mobile websites using targeted Google advertisements. Just like AdSense for content, Google matches advertisements to the content of a website — in this case, a mobile website. Read More..

History of Adsense

The underlying technology behind AdSense was derived originally from WordNet, Simpli (a company started by the founder of Wordnet, George A. Miller), and a number of professors and graduate students from Brown University, including James A. Anderson, Jeff Stibel, and Steve Reiss.[1] A variation of this technology utilizing WordNet was developed by Oingo, a small search engine company based in Santa Monica founded in 1998 by Gilad Elbaz and Adam Weissman.[2][3] Oingo changed its name to Applied Semantics in 2001,[4] which was later acquired by Google in April 2003 for US$102 million.[5] Read More..

More Overview About Adsense

Google uses its Internet search technology to serve advertisements based on website content, the user's geographical location, and other factors. Those wanting to advertise with Google's targeted advertisement system may enroll through AdWords. AdSense has become a popular method of placing advertising on a website because the advertisements are less intrusive than most banners, and the content of the advertisements is often relevant to the website.

Currently, AdSense uses JavaScript code to incorporate the advertisements into a participating website. If the advertisements are included on a website that has not yet been crawled by the Mediabot, AdSense will temporarily display advertisements for charitable causes, also known as public service announcements (PSAs). (The Mediabot is different from the Googlebot, which maintains Google's search index.)

Many websites use AdSense to monetize their content. AdSense has been particularly important for delivering advertising revenue to small websites that do not have the resources for developing advertising sales programs and salespeople. To fill a website with advertisements that are relevant to the topics discussed, webmasters implement a brief script on the websites' pages. Websites that are content-rich have been very successful with this advertising program, as noted in a number of publisher case studies on the AdSense website.

Some webmasters invest significant effort into maximizing their own AdSense income. They do this in three ways:[citation needed]

1. They use a wide range of traffic-generating techniques, including but not limited to online advertising.
2. They build valuable content on their websites that attracts AdSense advertisements, which pay out the most when they are clicked.
3. They use text content on their websites that encourages visitors to click on advertisements. Note that Google prohibits webmasters from using phrases like "Click on my AdSense ads" to increase click rates. The phrases accepted are "Sponsored Links" and "Advertisements".

The source of all AdSense income is the AdWords program, which in turn has a complex pricing model based on a Vickrey second price auction. AdSense commands an advertiser to submit a sealed bid (i.e., a bid not observable by competitors). Additionally, for any given click received, advertisers only pay one bid increment above the second-highest bid. Read More..
