Diversify
To have a successful website that is popular and makes money you have to diversify your traffic sources and diversify your income streams. Relying on any one thing can kill a site. In the next few days I will go into more detail. I will add some more as well. I'm sure I have forgotten some. Here is a list of sources.Incoming Traffic:
- Free search engine results
- Pay per click
- Word of mouth
- Social networks
- Links from other sites
- Search engine image results
- Links from blogs and forums
- Links in chat rooms
- Type in
Income streams:
- Contextual advertising like Adsense
- Banner advertising
- Paid reviews
- Sell leads
- Sell exit traffic
- Affiliate advertising
- Solicit donations
- Subscriptions
- Sell items
