There’s a headline that gets anyone’s attention.

There is actually a post on webmasterworld.net from a forum user who calls himself markus007 that makes that claim. I think the few initial suggestions he makes bear repeating:

1. Get a database of IP’s so you know where your traffic is coming from. Then create channels for each country. Its not uncommon to see US traffic with a CPM of $5.00 and a CDN traffic at 20 cents and vice versa. If you have access to the hints option, give different hints based on IP. ie if your page is about 401k plans, that won’t get you anything outside of the USA.

2. You have to create sites that will bring in repeat traffic. If you think you will get rich off SEO think again. If you create a Free jobs site you could net 30 million + a year if you got big. Club listings site, free religious personals etc would all be big money makers. Look for established markets and offer a service for free and support it with adsense.

3. Have your users create content and lots of it. User reviews of night clubs, Resorts, golf courses etc. Build your site around your users and make them part of your site, don’t build your site for consumption.

4. Do not enter markets with a lot of competition monitized via adsense. Try and undercut paid content markets by offering a free service, or better yet create your own market.

5. Keep your site dead simple, it has to load fast and have no more then 2 ads and 1 or 2 pictures other then your logo. Do not confuse your user, give them what they want and give it to them fast.

6. Troll around various forums and if people are not talking about your market, there is a good chance you will make money.

Here are some other interesting tidbits from the thread (it spans 25 pages):

Traffic is step #1, conversion is step #2, then for #3 we have to play with psychology

I like this one because it follows the process I have been preaching for years:
impression -> conversion -> action

So, in summary, users can find in his sites free services that are usually paid elsewhere, and they get them in a simple and fast way, and targeted to their locations, with lots of user feedback.

This seems to confirm the often quoted #1 Google’s advice:

1. Focus on the user and all else will follow.

Well said.

Markus again:

I found that you should just ignor monetization issues. I focus most of my time on trying to increase my dailly visitor count. [Emphasis added] If i don’t increase my users/pageviews by 10% a month there is something wrong. If you focus all your time on trying to make money, your site tends to not grow.

With trends in advertising currently, it is best you build for the long term anyways. Google is coming out with rich media ads which would increase my CPM to $4+ and other ad platforms are working at tracking the users intentions. Ie if you searched for a new car on google a week ago, a random site may display car ads when you visit it. I think in 5 to 10 years, the internet will monitize at the same level as offline. Now is the time to get ahold of as much traffic as you can.

The beauty about what i’ve done is that my site constantly grows 10% a month, and I build long term value and actually help millions of people and my time spent working on the site stays at about a hour a day.

Make Money at Home With Affiliate Marketing Affiliate marketing is the quickest way to start earning income on the internet. Here's how to get started. If you are interested in learning how to make money at home there are many products and informational sites available to help you get started. But if you’re undecided on what to do or how to do it, there is one idea that’s a proven winner: starting an online affiliate marketing business. This is a business where a person (an "affiliate") is able to earn extra income by listing other companies’ websites on his own. If a visitor comes to the affiliate’s website and follows a link to a merchant’s site, then makes a purchase there within a certain period of time, the affiliate earns a commission for doing the referral work. A Legitimate Online Business Since there’s no product to ship, inventory to keep, or payments to process, the affiliate can concentrate on pre-selling the product for the merchant. Furthermore, there are no fees to pay so this business is in no way an MLM or pyramid scheme business. This "make money at home" business is not about selling miracle cure fruit juice to friends and family; it’s the promotion of millions of products for retailers including Amazon, eBay, Dell, Office Depot, iTunes, plus airlines, insurance, travel agencies, credit card companies and on and on. You can’t promote anything and everything so it’s best just to carve yourself out a little niche by writing a website focused on one specialty. Most affiliates will tell you it’s the quickest way to start earning income on the internet. Get the Big Idea for Your Niche First comes the fun part of niche affiliate marketing: brainstorming. You don’t want to be too general in the focus of your website since the best keyword placement tactics are better suited to niche sites. For example, let’s say you’re a fisherman - an expert in fact (who isn’t?)-- and you want to write articles for a website about fishing. But what kind? If you’re a trout fishing guide in the Rockies, or a tarpon fisherman in Key West, write about what you know. A niche site is the ideal make money at home project. Just share your knowledge on your website and then select the merchants and products that are best suited to your site. You promote and write reviews of the products and services of these merchants to start earning commissions. Develop the Website with Content So with your great niche idea, your next task is to develop content. From your brainstorming exercises you should have a wealth of article ideas. You’ll be writing the home page covering a general introduction, topics you’ll be discussing such as equipment and lures to use, fishing methods, where to go, local regulations, and so on. You’ll be introducing your affiliate marketing strategy when you start to write these pages. For example, you’ll be inserting contextual ads right into the contents of the pages you write. Keep this in mind when writing your keyword-related articles and reviews. You’ll want to repeat certain "keyword phrases" several times in the articles. This is how the search engines work - commanded by the phrase a user inputs into the search box, the engine goes out and shifts through millions of pages where the keywords appear and return the most relevant pages in the search results for the user to choose from. Provide a Service Other People Need An important point to remember if you want to make money at home when developing a niche site is that you must think like a customer. What do you do when you want to buy a fishing rod but don’t know which one? You, like other consumers, use a search engine to find out about stuff that you don’t know. You want to read reviews and see what opinions other people are offering. Consumers like to visit niche sites for such information. Starting Your Website and Home Business One of the best places to visit while you’re getting started in your quest to make money at home can be found at Ken Evoy’s SBI site. There you’ll find many free tutorials such as the popular Work at Home Moms guide which covers numerous areas of building a niche site. They also discuss how to sign up as an affiliate marketing partner with a merchant. One of the strategies that SBI will point out is that it’s vital that you produce one site at a time. This won’t be a problem for you to make money at home if you focus on a niche and put all your effort into that. Make the one site work and make it a money maker before you start to build the next one. The shotgun approach of developing half a dozen websites at once with different products is too difficult for most newcomers to affiliate marketing to handle. Good luck.
