Step 3: Monetizing your Traffic
Now for the good stuff... You need to look at every possible way your website can make you money and put them in order from the highest possible return to the lowest. You can research affiliate programs, referal programs, pay-per-click programs, email harvesting, and anything else you can think of or come across.
Once you have your list in order this will be the order in which you push these services to your surfers. For example, if you have a website for online auto insurance and you find an affiliate program who will pay you $10 per online auto insurance quote, you want to push them the most. You may find an adult website who's willing to pay you $50 for a signup, but obviously the traffic your website is going to attract isn't going to convert very well in the adult arena. You need to stick to your niche.
Then as you scroll down your website you can begin to push a lesser paying program to try and capture some revenue incase the surfer didn't click your main money maker at the top and so on and so forth. You will probably end up putting some pay per click ads such as Google Adsense at the bottom of your web page to try and recover a few cents that you may have spent trying to get that person to your website in the first place. You can find several types of affiliate programs at Commission Junction.

Step 2: Keyword Research
Search engine traffic is the best type of traffic. You don't get people who just ended up at your site by an unsuspected popup ad or even worse a redirect. That just eats up bandwidth and costs you money. You want targeted traffic who are looking for the service you are offering. Those are the ones who will convert into leads which in turn gets you paid!
The internet is now a major part of any business. With this said, businesses will take part of their advertising budget and market their websites via TV commercials, Pay-Per-Click (PPC) ad campaigns, email marketing, print media, radio ads, etc... Basically, theres a lot of competition.
So how do you compete in this cluster fuck called the internet? Think outside the box!
Come up with a good list of keywords/keyphrases that could still capture the audience your looking for, but not cost you the big bucks of the general keywords all the big boys are competing for.
Optimize your website with these keywords/keyphrases and you will also get naturally listed and ranked highly outside of your PPC ads and these don't cost you a penny!
How do you research keywords?
You will first need to setup a Google Adwords account and a Yahoo Search Marketing account. I have links to both companies on the right column of this blog. Both companies offer a variety of keyword selection tools to help you narrow down your search. They even have tools that will suggest alternate keywords for you and give you an idea of how many searches are done daily on those words/phrases. Find words that don't have a lot of advertiser competition on them and a decent amount of search's and start making your list.
