If you have created a basic site to promote an affiliate scheme, then it is a good idea to also use other avenues of revenue. So, what else might you add to the web site to bring in more cash?

Firstly, the easiest and most simplest way of adding to your profits is through contextual advertising, let's say Google Adsense. With these schemes, you add the advert onto your web site page and the provider reads the content of the page and chooses from the collection of advertisers available to it the most suitable adverts. They take time to work out which adverts are most potential to be clicked on, as it is as vital to them as it is to you that the adverts are clicked stacks.

To get started, you only sign up for an account with Google and once they have reviewed and accepted your site you go back to their site, tell them the shape, size and colour scheme that you want and then they provide a bit of code for you. Copy this snippet of code and paste it into your website where you want it to appear.

At this point you will test your site and possibly not see the adverts and assume, wrongly, that it is not working and you have done something wrong. This is not the case - it frequently takes around 10 minutes from you setting up the advert on Google until it will actually display on your site. I have no idea why, it merely happens!

Be certain that these adverts look part of your site. This can either be a matching colour scheme or a complimentary colour scheme, depending on which works the best for you. Position it so that traffic easily see it and then if they do not want to visit the affiliate merchant’s web site, then there is a chance they will make you an extra bit of money this way.

Keeping to no over a couple of advertising blocks per website, there are also other cash making opportunities. You could also add banners for other affiliate merchants. Let's say, if you are promoting hotels, holiday villas or other travel products, then a banner for holiday insurance might do well on the web site. Take a look through the affiliate directory that you are using and work out what other merchants they are working with that might be useful.

Part of the success of this will be trial and error. You have to try a variety of different merchants and products and see what works best. You could do this by merely changing the banner, say every week. But a few affiliate sites will do this for you. You may find that the directory will allow you to create advertising pools. With these you will choose as plenty of different products / merchants as you want to and add the banners to the pool. You then display a banner from the pool and the directory takes charge of randomly rotating through the banners. When you notice that certain merchants are doing better than others, merely remove those that don’t perform so well to maximise your profits.

After this, you might start trying to sell banner adverts and other tricks, but these take plenty more effort and are more advanced to find the advertisers and make an income.
