Ever try Google ads or being an affiliate?

Yes. The ads do work. I went a little overboard on the one on my homepage , but it does get clicks. www.water-park-locations.com (the dashes work in yahoo and msn but google I think punishes me for it. The site just went up and is a work in progress but it is already generating revenue.) The secret is traffic that wants to click your ads or doesn’t mind clicking the blue links.

Traffic increase does not always mean increase in ad clicks though. Ad placement is crucial and the “channel” options in google adsense will make this very easy on you if you label them all properly.

You might also try sem arbitrage like these folks www.water–parks.com did. If you see their site structure you can see that they are hoping for higher click through rates to boost volume on a low margin game. This would make it possible to do for a living, but a high working capital is necessary. (getting around 5% marginal revenue.)

(Next find your competitor for keywords and jot down there url. Download the compressed files online that contain the AOL search data release that someone had accidentally broadcast. Luckily it is still available and parsing through it will give you keywords that drove traffic to your competitor. Next …….. well, i am helping you stand now you need to take the next steps.)
