Make MOney with PPC Sites

There are some people who make a living with PPC ad campaigns, so it’s definitely a viable way to make money online, either as a publisher or advertiser.  Be careful though – you can easily lose a lot of money if you aren’t continually testing and optimizing ads.

Google AdSense – Probably the most common way to monetize a website or blog.  You can easily add AdSense ads to your site and earn money for each click.  Click value depends on your niche and targeted keywords.

Google AdWords – This is the flip side to AdSense. You can use Google AdWords to drive traffic (which costs money of course) to a landing page or website where you will ideally make more money off that traffic than what it costs you per click.

Chitika – Another way to monetize your website with ads, similar to AdSense.  Usually, Chitika ads don’t pay as well, but can still be effective.

Facebook Ads – Similar concept to AdWords.  Create ads that drive traffic to a landing page, blog, or an affiliate offer (I’m not sure if you can still use affiliate links with Facebook ads).  Facebook ads are nice because you can target very specific demographics and funnel that targeted traffic to a product or service you’re selling.

MySpace Ads – Similar concept to Facebook Ads.
LinkedIn Ads

7Search – An inexpensive alternative to AdWords.  There’s obviously less traffic, but it’s a fraction of what it costs you on AdWords.
Speedy Ads – Another PPC alternative.  Looks like a pretty cool site, though I’ve never used them.
