The two most profitable money making methods on the internet; are Google’s AdSense, and other conventional affiliate programs.

With the recession in full swing, and the possibilities of getting a new job any time in the near future being slim to none; many people are turning to the Internet with the hope of earning enough money to pay their bills, and take care of their families.

Short of starting a full fledged online business website, the fastest way to make decent money online is with conventional affiliate programs, and Google’s AdSense program.

The most popular online affiliate program in use today is Google AdSense.

AdSense is a pay per click (PPC) program, that pays a specific amount of money to individuals when visitors click on the advertising links, that Google places on your website or blog.

Although the amount of money that you receive per click is relatively small, creating a large number of SEO keyword rich websites, with optimized web pages can add up to quite a large sum of money.

Google allows up to three blocks of AdSense advertisements per web page, and when you create ten to twenty web pages per niche website, you can hear the cash register ringing in the cash.

Of all the profitable money making methods on the Internet, Google AdSense is the most popular, hands down.

All you need to do is create a website or blog, targeted to a specific niche, and Google provides you with codes you need to insert the AdSense ads onto your website.

The advertisements are fully customizable to match your website, blend into your website, or contrast with your web pages on your site.

When you place Google’s AdSense code on your web pages, the advertising links that are generated, will be relevant to the content of your web pages.

This means that when visitors come to your site, they are more likely to click on the AdSense content advertising links, that Google places there.

All that is left for you to do, is to drive traffic to your AdSense monetized website through conventional internet marketing techniques.

Amazon also provides an affiliate program, that allows you to sell products on your website.

However, unlike Google’s AdSense, they offer a percentage of the actual sale as payment.

Like Google, they also provide you with codes to place on your website or blog, for various types of advertising banners, search engines, etc.

Amazon does not limit you to only three advertising blocks per page; you can display as many items as you like, in many different formats.

eBay, also has an affiliate partners program that functions similar to Amazon’s program.

The percentage per sales is generally lower.

If AdSense, Amazon, or eBay is not your cup of tea; the second of the two most profitable money making methods, is finding a profitable item to promote through an affiliate network, like Clickbank, PayDotCom, or others.

Affiliate networks, conveniently offer many products and services for you to promote by any method you desire.

Once you sign up, you receive a personal tracking identification that remains with you regardless of what product you decide to sell.

The affiliate network monitors all of your earned commissions in your personal account, and sends you your payment, once your minimum payment threshold is exceeded, by check, wire transfer, PayPal or other methods.

There are many benefits to affiliate networks for people who are interested in making money fast through affiliate marketing.

When you are promoting several different products, using different strategies; it’s extremely helpful to have them all managed from a central tracking location.

You can also join affiliate programs, that allow you to recruit junior affiliates, that promote products under you.

This allows you to earn a portion of the earnings generated by your junior affiliates, as well as a portion of the money their affiliates generate. This, in addition to what you earn through your own promoting methods, can quickly add up to a tidy income.

Regardless of which program you choose, make sure that the commission that is offered, is worth your time and efforts.

In general, look for products or services that offer high commissions. The exception, to the rule is for products that offer continuing monthly commissions, like membership websites generate.

Any of these profitable money making methods, can help you and your family out during these recessionary times, if you just spend some time educating yourself about them, and take the necessary action.
