Make Money with your Blog

Yahoo! Publisher Network
Similar to Google Adsense, Yahoo! offers an ad program called the Yahoo! Publisher Network which also displays ads that are relevant to your blog's content.13 15 Like Google Adsense, you earn money when visitors on your blog click on the ads.13 The same principles of ad placement and blending mentioned above also apply. However, you cannot use both of these programs on the same blog posting per their terms of service.
Chitika Premium Ads
Chitika Premium Ads are actually widgets and offer multiple products and a mini-search engine, all in one ad.16 Chitika Premium Ads are not contextual (based on your blog's content), so you have more control over which ads appear on your blog.16 Here is an example of a Chitika Premium Ad.16

Affiliate Ad Programs
Linkshare and Commission Junction represent numerous affiliate programs, from Apple Computers to British Airways.17 18 After joining Linkshare and/or Commission Junction for free, you can apply for the affiliate programs that you're interested in advertising on your blog.17 18
Some companies will accept your affiliate application to advertise their products, while others may not, it just depends on their requirements.
Amazon Affiliates
Some companies, such as Amazon.com, work directly with you, without a middle-man.19 Like the programs above, Amazon.com Associates will provide you with HTML code for ads (text or banner) that you can place on your blog.20 Here is an example of an Amazon.com banner ad.19
Text Link Ads
Text Link Ads is an increasingly popular affiliate program that provides text ads for various companies and their products.21 Text Link Ads sends you the HTML code for various ads, but you place only the ones that you want on your blog.21
More Ad Programs
Other popular ad programs include: ValueClick Media, Blogads, AdBrite and Affiliate Sensor.22 23 24 25
