Secrets of making money online

I have been into blogging since last 3 years, and seen many ups-and-downs regarding building reliable blogs and making money online. Based on my experience, I would suggest that the best money-making tip is not to bother too much "only" about making money online. The content and relevancy is extremely important for a blog to command attention from visitors and search engines. There are millions of blogs now and most important question you should ask is: what makes your blog stand out? If you could answer this convincingly, then you have cleared 50% hurdles in making money online.

You should then pay attention to good, clean, error-free template with enough space (the content should not look cluttered). You should place your affiliate ads carefully and at "strategic locations" - there should not be too much of ads that will distract visitors. Whenever possible, go for in-content text links of the affiliate ads. Please avoid pop-ups & pop-unders - strictly not advised. Cross link with relevant other blogs and create your own signature with an affiliate link (whenever possible).

Remember, visitors come to your blog to read your opinions, and not to click on your ads. So give them what they want, and they will definitely give you what you want! Wow, what a philosophy!!!
