As you write content on your WordPress site on a regular schedule, you deliver content to your readers who were interested in reading your content that is entertaining, and informative. Wether if you write a site as a book, or you were just writing news articles,–if you are a member of a news group. It’s kind of like publishing newspapers for your subscribers who were subscribing to your news service.
As you write… you create something new. Personal blogs are the known sites on wordpress.com… but most self-hosted WordPress sites are owned by people who care about keeping full control of their sites. If you have ads implemented on your site. You make money with enabling advertisers to post ads on your published content via ad slots. These ads are financed by a company. The money flows from the reader who has interest of the ad in question,–such as a product or service… to the the product featured on an ad in question… to the publisher’s monetization account. That’s organic advertising and monetization! But some of these readers have ad-blocking software enabled to cut bandwith costs of their internet subscriptions, or opt out of ads. But many webmasters has started launching schemes to make money because, they are not happy with their traffic to their site.
- The users are not interested in these ads, but the content what they’re reading.
- The readers prefer PSA or other ads that are built to be non-CPC because most PSA ads spread the word about the cause, or critical events.
- The users are busy reading other content on your site.
PTC/GPT/PTS schemes are common on most self-hosted WordPress sites via any web host. However; AdSense… owned by Google Inc. doesn’t allow these schemes because, that links to click fraud, and other fraudulent schemes. Never the less, AdSense doesn’t have a feature to block “spam clicks” from occuring. Chitika at the other hand has similar policies that will prevent fraud from occuring.
Some site owners publish new site to get more revenue from their ads. They’re creating original content, but they’re actually promoting their sites via the comments area.
Some site owners go to other sites, and scrape content and republish it as their own content. For example; scraping content from a blog about rabbits. And sometimes they write stolen syndicated content.
Monetization takes a long time to establish for your website. Especially if you were just writing on a timely schedule.
With WordPress; you can time your posts to be published on a later date when writing a new post after that! For example; you were writing posts for the end of winter. This is useful if you wanted to publish content as plants start to wake up from a long time of dormentation.
Writing new content, and publishing it on a later date can make it easier for you to publish content for each season, or on a constant basis. If you have 30 posts scheduled; and you published 1 post per day… you may get daily visits from your viewers.
For some ad networks; it takes 1000 views of banner ads to make some money with your content what you published yourself.
However; some people who own sites via any web-hosting companies/services has created spam sites to attempt to generate revenue. Most hosting services has specific terms to prevent spam sites from being published. Splogs are common on our internet. It’s kind of like spam purchases of homes, and incomplete construction of their homes. Spammers are the known people who often trick someone else to advertise on their sites.
