Hi,

It depends on what your traffic is looking for when they come to your site. If they are looking for information, you might do better with ads and adwords. If they are looking for a specific product, give them a way to purchase that product through your affiliate link.

Make a list, capture your visitors, give them free and valuable information...then sell them. Rinse and repeat.

Sidenote: This thread seems like it would be better suited in a different section.

Thanks

I agree, if your not making direct commissions on your site, then you should definatly capture your visitors details and follow up with them.

The best form of marketing

  no problem
  
  first when you say that i should do a list and sell it.. do you mean with the Patins blog Website?
  
  second, isn't there any way to monetize the blog directly without losing the readers? without scaring them and at the same time call them to action?
  
  Thanks

Really for the best advice you need to tell use more of what the blog is about and how your traffic is getting to you.

If you are reviewing products you would want to get affliate links to said products where your customers could buy them.

Beyond that I would say on most any site with info adding advertising to it helps. Adsense or whatever.

And of course if you have repeat readers a list could work.

It really depends on what your reading are looking for when they come to you.

Would this be possible?
Create a category for free articles base, so that anyone can come to the blog and only post articles in that category?
Would that increase the traffic in the site, and the Rank of it?
Would it Increase the revenue made with the site?
Is it possible to do? If yes.
How can it be done?

With the theme that i am using in the patins blog, do you guys think that it would be possible to create one cheap membership that allows users to post articles?
Example
$1 - 4 articles per month with 3 links
They subscribe and post articles related to health, sports, and technology
The articles would be in a category like Members articles ( with a lot of subcategories)
Would it be possible? Would it work?

  Make a list, my friend, this is the best way to monetize your traffic.
  Then give EXTRA information on the follow-up emails, only for the VIP clients, you know?
  
  Then offer an affiliate product related to your niche OR write a short report
  and offer it for 7, 10 bucks with upsells.

  And what can i give them in return so they subscribe?
  A newsletter? with the most viewed articles every month?
  That way the articles would be revisited, should i put there some links to products?
  Is it that simple?
  
  Thanks

The problem that i am having here in the products is that, Most of the clients think that Amazon don't deliver Rollerblade there.
And that's not True, but they still don't believe in me when i say that it is possible.
The other web stores from Portugal or Brazil don't have the best inline skates, so dunno what can i sell there, reports don't really exist and i don't see anyone buying one report about how to tricks.

I have around 100 per day when i don't post anything
I can build a list, but what can i give in return?
Advices about how to clean the Rollerblade?
Advices about how to do the maintenance?
Reports about the best inline skates in the market and where to buy them using my affiliate link?
- Thanks
