My online friend Lynn Terry over at ClickNewz recently asked her readers ‘What is your biggest question about getting traffic to your website?’. Interestingly, she got a very good response with users asking very interesting questions regarding getting traffic to your website. I assume this is a very popular topic amongst website owners so I asked her specifically ‘What it the best way if there is any to monetize the traffic that you get to your sites?.

Her answer to the question is very detailed and you can find it here. However, to summarize what she said, you can monetize your traffic using selling your own products, promoting affiliate programs or using contextual advertising, etc. depending on the site. But in order to answer how you should monetize a specific site then you should ask yourself, ‘What is the purpose of the site you are trying to monetize?’.

And you shouldn’t be thinking about just selling a product or making money. In fact you need to put yourself in your visitors shoes and try and figure out what they are looking for.

Lynn has provided a detailed and informative post on how monetize your website traffic. She added a case study to explain how she looked at the keyword ‘Content Composer’ that a visitor had searched on, and provided different suggestions on how she could have monetized traffic coming from that keyword being searched for on the search engines.
