Re:Ask HN:How did you monetized your website? by thenomad on Monday July 15, 2013 @07:35AM (#6044919)
It very much depends on the website.

Some websites will be best running Adsense. Seriously. I know a guy who, at its peak, was running a website making 5 figures a month off Adsense.

Many websites will work well with affiliate marketing - find a product that your audience wants that has an affiliate program (where you're paid commission for either selling it or generating leads) and recommend that to your audience.

Others are obvious fits for a designed product, or an email list, or upsell to consultancy, or - the list goes on.

There's no one-size-fits-all solution, I'm afraid.

It also depends on the person running the website. Do you like doing A/B tests and have a gift for selling? Affiliate marketing may be the way forward. Are you a fantastic writer? Ebooks, my friend, ebooks. Do you love interacting with your community, have a skill for building huge traffic, but hate selling? Adsense.

No,I'm afraid but am not great writer but what I am creating will bring huge traffic on my website(or say blog).

After hearing lot of suggestions and googling, i found that i will use Adsense as default way for generating revenue with upgrade plan which can filter ads and provide other fancy extra things.

Thanks for your help
