For sometimes now I am experimenting with monetizing my blog. First I was start with google ads witch give me enough money to pay my host, domain and other expences and maybe to go on a date once a month.

For 2 months I start experminting with affiliate networks. And for example I will give AffiliateShop, becouse from all this network give me the best results.

Now what is with this affiliates and affiliates networks?

Classic ads like Adsense from Google give you money if someone click on some ads they give you to display on your website. Money from a click depend usualy by some factors and is something between 0.05 $ to 1$ ore more. But usualy if you have a averge of 0.20 dolars / click this mean that you perform great

Affiliate based ads work a little different. You get money if someone buy something starting from your site. Payment can be fixed or a percent (between 3% and 30%). This type of ads usualy perform better if you select your ads with your content in mind.

Affiliates networks are places where many ads providers gader and give you possibility to select the best products for your website to display.

AffiliateShop, give you posibility to register as a Merchant or an affiliate.
