The easiest way to monetize your blog is with Google Adsense. Adsense is an advertising network system where site owners put some Advertising Codes to their websites and profilt whenever somebody clicks on the ads. You earn money for bringing people to your blog and hoping that they will click your ads. (never click on your own ads !!! you will be banned instantly).

Since you’re already getting visitors, simply sign up for an Adsense account and wait for the Google team to approve your new account. Its very simple, click the Adsene banner, fill out the Adsense Signup Form and enter your personal & site information. Google will review your application in a couple of days and confirm your signup. Once the Google team has approved your new account, you will have access to the Adsense Dashboard and can place up to three ad blocks on one page according to the Google TOS. In the Adsense Dashboard you can choose between the different ad codes, track your campaigns and take a look at your income balance statistics.

Maximize Adsense Revenue

Creating a free Indoweblog Blog and earning some fast dollars is quite easy. But how can you improve your traffic and maximize your revenue? To get started with an Adsense optimized blog pay attention to these few things:

Focus

Focus a topic for your blog. Popular blogs are collecting lots of interesting and usefull information and people tend to visit them on a daily basis. Other blogs choose pretty narrow topics that their writers know well and they stick with them. Whatever you do, focus on a topic (it might be your life) and make sure you know what you are writing about.

Content

Before presenting your blog to the world, it needs to have content. This means that you should write blog entries on regular/daily basis. Entries dont have to be very long as long as they are interesting or contain usefull information.

Traffic

Getting hundreds of visitors can take some time, but it is not very hard to achieve. Popular blogs get thousands and thousands of visitors each day. You can increase your traffic without spending marketing dollars by asking other bloggers for a link-exchange (blogroll), joining news services and mention your blog, using keywords and tags to increase search engine traffic and so on. If your content is good and you have some link partners, your blog will get popular fairly easily over time.

Patience

Dont give up too fast! It takes time and patience to build up a blog and its visitors. Its all up to you to improve your content and marketing. Once it is good enough, you will see a steady growth of traffic.
