Easy Money Online?

Ok, so I'm trying the Adsense thing... as you can see i have Ad by Google... but If nobody clicks on the ads..then you don't make any money..it's that simple...is it? Well, as I understand it, that's pretty much the basic of it. The problem with making money with a blog like this one and I imagine the same applies to a website and particularly a niche website.... you need visitors... and more importantly... u need visitors who are going to click on the ads that google is displaying...

Along comes affiliate marketing A.K.A Pay Per Action(PPA). What this means is, you join affiliate programs offered by many online businesses and as their affiliate you place a link on your site or blog to their site. But you only make a percentage of a sale made via the links on your site or blog. As you will notice, I have two affiliates above the google ads, so feel free to check them out and if you are interested in what they have to offer... and you make a purchase via my link to them... then I make a percentage of the sale...easy isn't?...lol.. well not quite.. again the problem is that there Must be a sale to make money... hence Pay Per Action.

You will also notice that I have a few links in the text of my previous posts.... so feel free to check those out as well... they contain some indepth information...

So, now my next challenge it to get traffic.... How do I get more people to visit my blogs thereby increasing my chances of getting clicks on the Google ads and increasing my chances of getting sales to my affiliates...

Ok... so that's my next mission...
