How making money online has evolved over the years

Years ago you could get relatively large revenues on pay per click ad programs. It wasn't surprising to get $5 per click for a hot niche like electronics which were able to pay for it because of the large profits they made.

More people realized the money to be made online and competition skyrocketed; as the amount of websites advertising increased, the price per click and per thousand impressions declined.

Webmasters who wanted to make more money found a way. They saw that they could directly advertise products with companies such as clickbank and commission juntion. This required more work to monetize and was not simply just copy and pasting code, but is more efficient than adsense in terms of profit.

Beware of online money making scams

There are alot of scams out there that make money by tricking people into thinking they can actually make money. For example, some advertisers like Pennysaver have ads which tell you that you can make easy income by filling in surveys but really all they send you is a bunch of packets.

Save Money

Chances are... the reason you're here is the high price of everything, especially gas.
Here's a way to save money.

Niche Keywords

Niche keywords is where all the money at. Not just one niche keyword, you'll need a lot. If you had a list of 1000 good niche keywords, they can consistently bring in a constant flow of cash. To find these keywords, think of something common, such as music. Then break it down to maybe hiphop music and rock music, etc. You can then break that down to rock music cds or rock music albums. You can keep doing this and come up with a long list that should rank well in search engines since its a very specific keyword. They might get a visitor every couple days so if you have 1000, that could mean 1000 visitors a day. They key to these keywords is quantity.
