Many things have been writ­ten about how to cre­ate the per­fect blog that makes the most money. Every­body knows that con­tent is king and that for the con­tent to actu­ally make money, you have to put ads on your page where peo­ple can click and pos­si­bly make a purchase.

Any guru’s man­ual on how to start a blog will always make men­tion of one of the most pop­u­lar ad-generating pro­grams for your blog — Google Adsense. While this works by hav­ing peo­ple click on ads and earn­ing you an amount for each click, it doesn’t mean that their mere pres­ence in your blog will actu­ally have peo­ple click­ing on them. When talk­ing about these ads, most usu­ally for­get about a basic ele­ment that may make or break their chances of being clicked. What you need is a good way to struc­ture those ads on your page so they tend to be more attrac­tive to readers.

For exam­ple, Good­gle Adsense is a good pro­gram to have on your blog. You sim­ply make options that indi­cate what type of prod­ucts you want adver­tised and the pro­gram will look for such ads and paste them on your page. The issue is, putting those ads on any por­tion of your page doesn’t nec­es­sar­ily bring the same results.

Putting those ads at the top of your post will prob­a­bly not be good for your blog because peo­ple might feel dis­cour­aged by the fact that all they see ini­tially are ads. A bet­ter place for them would prob­a­bly be the bot­tom of your page where read­ers will even­tu­ally get to if they’re seri­ous enough about read­ing your posts. If they find any­thing inter­est­ing, they’ll more likely click on it because they’ve had the sat­is­fac­tion of read­ing a good post. Click­ing on that ad won’t be a chore.

The way your ads look will also have a way of influ­enc­ing whether or not your read­ers are going to click on them, much less stay on your page long enough to read your posts. When you decide to have those ads on your page, you actu­ally also have the option to choose which font col­ors to use.

This is very impor­tant because a loud color com­bi­na­tion can be very stress­ing to the eyes and whether or not read­ers are aware of it, they’re likely to respond the same way – click out. Make sure that when vis­i­tors come to read your blog, it will be an ini­tially delight­ful expe­ri­ence. Don’t make them have to crit­i­cize a page that is poor in color coor­di­na­tion. Whether you like it or not, visual appeal accounts for a sig­nif­i­cant por­tion of why peo­ple will stay, read your blog and click on your ads.

Hav­ing a blog make money is not an easy task but it not gar­gan­tuan, either. This means that what­ever for­mula worked for the suc­cess­ful ones, they won’t be too hard to fig­ure out as long as you know what you’re doing. Then how to make money blog­ging will start to come naturally.
