Three Revenue Streams for your Blog

I'll categorize various revenue streams into three major categories :

1. Per impression revenue

Here Best option I believe is Google Adsense.

2. Per Click revenue

Here Best option giving a better than double eCPM than Adsense is Widget Bucks.

3. Per Successful click revenue

This could be either Google referrals, or Amazon affiliate, or any other affiliate like CJ which is appropriate for the niche topic of your blog.


Any Blog which is lacking in any one of the above streams is earning suboptimal.

Experts have started giving their idea of chances of world economy going into depression, started by the housing bubble burst. Fed responding to the situation by cutting interest rates by 50 basis points (higher than expected) only an acknowledgment to the gravity of the situation. There are talks already about further cuts expected in January, 2008. Sure this means the stock markets are going to enjoy the party for now, but the question is how long is it going to last ? And if the fundamental issues of the economy are really getting addressed here.
