Let’s get to the point.. how many of the bloggers online make good number of money? This depends. Some guys are happy with 100$, rest joins the group of making 4-5 figure income per month all from blogging.. but in anyway, those who make big achieves big, as simple as that! Rest of the people fail due to lack of traffic and monetization.
How to Monetize blog? STOP!
Firstly, ask yourself what are you blogging for? Is it the passion? the money? Mostly, everyone blogs because they have the passion and knowledge of particular subject but hey, it’s not a problem when couple of bucks rolls in along with your passion right? After all, you - as a blogger have provided useful content and shared something unique that has been helpful…
My strategy to monetize blogs have always been different. I make sure the blog gets some amount of traffic.. never over-monetize the blog initially. Keep it simple, always! It’s the initial period which matters the most and my blogging with bangaloreloka has taken off into an terrific start where I managed to pull around 4000 visitors additionally in just 9 days.
What exactly do I mean by Website traffic monetization?
Generally, monetizing refers to trying out several things and then sticking to one. But, in the case of blogging, monetizing should be done later.. first and foremost you need traffic. I know people who have less than 1000 visitors and they try to find additional new networks, add new cpm banners on sidebar or inline ads all over the place.. the concentration to make more money with less traffic is witnessed here. They fail to realize the potential of money that can be made once you have 2000, 3000.. 10000 visitors per day. If you do, you will make a lot! Trust me..
The right blog/website monetization time comes when you have substantial traffic, later on you will be accepted to CPA, CPM networks because of the traffic generated. A site can be squeezed with advertisements but that’s not gonna help!
And how do get traffic? The theory of content is the king remains solid. Good content and some promotion does it all.. Along with that, patience is the key when you are starting out with a new blog. Later on, when you have enough experience you should have control on how you want your blog to be and not the other way around 
How are you optimizing your blog? Do you have the essential traffic?
Very nicely explained concept to make every blog a success…
I am doing the same… My blog has no advertisement as I am focussing on generating traffic first… Money will come in once I have traffic 
It seems, monetization is the final destination of the blogger community and the farther target is to increase the amount earned. Is that right? Happy New Year!
Traffic always come before the money.
SEO and content are termed as Kings and queens………..:) we have to maintain both..
Nice tip…
Yes friend, Do not start blog for Adsense or money, don’t put ad codes without much page views.
You stated it right. Good content, good promotions and some more patience is all that we need. And for more, we need goof relations with the blogger…if we can. That adds more. As for now my blog is just brand new. Just a month old. I’m trying the tips..gathered from pros… let’s see how much time it takes to generate a good Pr.
You are right. No traffic – no money!!
