How you made your Web sites so Popular

Referrals - Many web sites set up Referral programs to bring in new traffic to their web site. In most cases Referral programs offer a percentage of a sale or fixed rate per new person they have sign up. You will often see the technical Terms CPA or CPS associated with this type of traffic, it stands for Cost Per Action or Cost Per Sale.
E-mail - E-mail can be a powerful tool in bringing members back to your web site and give them other valuable information. A lot of web sites have a monthly newsletter where they can keep their users informed of what is going on with their web site as well as promote other services and other web sites they might be interested in.
I have used all of the above traffic methods, but have had more success with some then others. I started out using Paid Search Results to get my first web site additional traffic. I later moved to Referrals as this was much more cost effective for me, I found it to be less expensive since I only had to pay when a user signed up and not just for clicking on the link. I also liked the idea of keeping everything “in house” and not having to pay another company for their services.

How you have made Money online

PPC - Stands for Pay Per Click. Basically every time a user visits your web site and clicks on a advertisement link you make money from it. It is usually a couple cents per click which add up quickly if you have a large user base. The most popular is Google’s Adsense program, but they are very picky on the type of traffic you send. Another popular PPC is BidVertiser.

Coreg - Coreg or Co-Registration, is becoming more popular. This is when you have a user sign up for your web site, but during the signup process you also give them a check box option to sign up for another web site as well. If the user agrees and checks the box you will receive compensation for it.

I use a combination of all of the above income streams. For my popular A.W.Surveys web site I use the Affiliate and the PPC methods. For my MoneyBumper web site I use only the Coreg option. Depending on the type of site you want to run it is always good to have a general idea of how you are going to make money from it. I always try to figure out how I can make the most money without inconveniencing the user. Otherwise the user will feel bombarded with ads or too many Coreg offers, which can likely result in the user being put off of your site and not visiting it again.
