Now that you understand how to create revenue from your own websites and blogs from simply being active and placing adds around your pages, we can now move onto another important way to make money online.
These days everyone wants to know what YOU think. People trust other peoples reviews and opinions over a company opinion. If i were to search for say apple ipods, of course i would see the company's review on the product and how awesome it is, and how many features the ipod has and how its revolutionizing technology with its playback technology, anti skip and sound quality. But of course they wont speak negatively about their own product! Thats where you come in.
Companies know that if someone else puts their opinion on the website that it will be more likely to attract a higher trust level by you. because they aren't getting paid to review the product or type something great about it.
These days those people are getting paid. But not by the company who owns the product. You see, if you write a blog for a company about their product or maybe even an article for their website or online newspaper then you can easily earn revenue.
The following websites can earn you money by simply signing up and writing about basically anything you wish!
Triond- This website is great you can publish almost anything and give your thoughts on particular topics of interest to you or even a great story or opinion you have. The pay isn't awesome but if you keep active and post regularly than you can certainly make yourself a neat 2nd income.
Helium- This is a great site also. Much like triond, you can type about current affairs and topics of interest and articles that you think someone else could benefit from. There is also a great feature called the marketplace where people who want an article written about a particular product or topic , will advertise for someone to write it for them and they will display how much they are willing to pay for it. This amount varies with the topic and amount of words but usually around $25-$200. Now thats a great way to earn money by writing a few hundred words!
Payperpost.com-This is another great way to make money by blogging. Although you need to have a blog account that is older than 30 days and with 10 active posts already. This is to prevent spammers from signing up so it should pay a little better.
Now make sure you link your articles and blog posts to places such as stumbleupon.com, digg.com, and reddit.com among many more. These places help link articles with poeple which means more clicks to your posts and more revenue for you!

Adsense- make money from your blog in 1 minute!
If you haven't already heard by now,ad-sense by google is currently one of the best ways that you can make money from your website or personal blog. I will show you how to set it up and what to do to maximize your SEO and increase your daily revenue using specific keywords.
Adsense is a smart marketing invention created by Google. Basically what it does is places advertisements on your website or blog that are related to the subject of your blog or website and once someone clicks on the advert you get payed! It's really that simple.
So for instance, if your blog is all about loans and consolidation loans, then adsense will figure this out with the help of those spiders we talked about earlier, picking up key phrases such as 'loans' and it will place relevant adds onto your website for you. You can chose exactly where you want these ads to appear, whether it be under posts on-top of the website content, on the header or to the left and right side of your content.
Having the option of customizing where the ad will be placed will help you maximize visibility for your ad, you can even customize the color scheme in which it will appear to match your background and font colors. Adsense picks up what colors your already using, so its not too difficult to match with your website.
So once you have your adsense account and you have placed your ads onto your website or blog, then the fun really starts. For every click of that add you will create revenue. Some advertisements will pay more per click than other adds will. There is a list you should check out below to find out which adds pay the most per click. But remember, for these adds to appear on your website/blog you must have relevant information about the topic already.
Up to date list of highest paying keyword adds:

SEO- Search Engine Optimization Hints and Tricks
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. This is crucial for the traffic involvement your web site or blog will attract. Your website and or blog will naturally be composed of words. The more 'words' in your documents, the better! Text rich documents are full of juicy keywords those spiders (yes they're back!) just love to eat. If, for instance, your blogs topic is about artwork, then you should try and compose your blog in such a way that you are using relevant keywords relating to artwork and use as less slang as possible. This also includes Internet chat speak. I do get asked quite a lot "why can't we use copious amounts of chat speak in our blogs? It's an Internet thing right?" Well the answer is plain and simple, when have you ever searched Google for "xD" or "<3"?>Chat speak is not something you would want to search for in a search engine unless you were trying to find out what on earth it actually meant. So for this reason it is best that you avoid chat speak where necessary and just use keywords that are relevant to your blogs topic. Not only will your web pages and blogs receive a higher Search engine ranking but you wont confuse and annoy your reader by using words they may not be used to reading.
Another great way of increasing your SEO is to add the main keywords of your blog or web page and incorporate them into your domain name. So for example, if your blogs topic is animal habitats, than you should create a domain name such as www.animalhabitats.com. The reason being is that those hungry spiders will initially search for important keywords in the domain name title.
Again, there are plenty of ways to increase SEO for your blogs, if you are linking to additional pages within your blog then make sure your anchor links and texts are full of keywords. So if your linking a page via a text link make sure you incorporate the primary keywords into it. This is very important and is just as important as making your blog relevant to your title and filling it up with more juicy keywords.
Speaking of titles, your web page title/ blog title should also be relevant to your blog subject. Try and use only primary keywords within your blog title if possible. This will boost your SEO, and the more topic specific keywords in important places like domain names and topic headers, the better your website ranking will be!
Now as smart as these Search engine spiders are, you can still make life easier for them, and your web site. If your navigation is clear and easy to understand and all relevant headers are linked to appropriate web pages relating to your sub headings, then you will have made it easier for search engines to sift through your website. If that all sounded a bit too confusing then here is an example; If you have a website on animal habitats and you have a few sub headings such as, "species" "photos" and "more information", then you would make sure that once someone clicked on the "species" page they would arrive at a page full of species information. If that page was full of keywords that were completely unrelated to the word species, then your in trouble. Those search engine hunters wont recognize your specific topic and you will have less chance of getting your website ranked above someone who has all their link and web pages ordered and worded properly.
These are the first steps you should take to increase your SEO and increase your traffic flow to your web site or blog. You should remember to always update your blog with fresh content. Stale blogs will not remain at the top of the search engine rankings for long, so you should make a mental note to update your blog at least once a week, if you can update it regularly throughout the week with content rich articles then that would be even better.
If you would like to see how your web page is ranked among others and where it stands as far as SEO is concerned, you should download the google toolbar, which gives you an indication on how well your website is ranked. It can also show you how well other web sites and blogs are ranked also.
