Is it profitable to add Multiple Streams of Income on only single Website?

Hi friends,

First of all, I would like to thank all my fellow warriors, who had helped with directly and indirectly through uncountable ways. After a long learning period, I started to implement each and everything I learned. Honestly, implementing what you learn gives you immense experience and helps you build your passion and motivation, if everything is going in right ways.

I learned about many money making methods like Amazon Affiliate, Adsense, Chitika contextual ads, ClickBank Affiliates, Peerfly Affiliates, Microsoft Adcenter, and many more.

But, I would like to know that CAN I ADD ALL THE ABOVE MENTIONED SOURCES IN ONLY ONE WEBSITE?

For Example,
Amazon Affiliates widget in sidebar
AdSense Ads in Right Sidebar
Chitika contextual ads after every post
ClickBank Affiliates on one page
Peerfly Affiliates on one page
Microsoft Adcenter Ads on left sidebar

Does anyone do this type of monetizing?

    There's an old saying that goes "pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered."

    It's possible to have multiple income streams from a single website, but not on the same page. Unless your content is profoundly valuable, such a page is going to look like an excuse to hang ads on, and the only viable options for most will be the 'back button'.

    I remember back in the early days, people would build these banner farms and expect to get rich. They'd create a page with any affiliate banner they could sign up for, then attempt to draw traffic by adding in as many traffic exchanges and web rings as they could find.

    The whole mess was hideous...and hideously ineffective.

      I wouldn't put so many offers on 1 page, as you are giving your visitor many options which might confuse them.

      I keep 1 offer per page, rarely 2..

      If i added 6 options, i risk confusing them, so i keep 1 good option for them to check out.

      What do you think about several different click bank products in the same niche on one site? I'm new to IM and started that way, but have recently changed the site into a review site for one product.

        For me, it would depend on how closely those products were related. In other words, do complement or compete with each other?

        If they complement each other - for example, one product talks about training service dogs while another talks about training hunting dogs or if they deal with beginning to advanced dog training - I'd offer them all on one site. I'd also surround them with content to pre-sell each product.

        If they compete with each other - say, three different software products for one style of day trading - I'd pick the best one and go with it.

        Give people too many similar choices, and they're likely to choose 'none' rather than chance a mistake...

          Thanks for the response!
          I started promoting 4 products that were essentially competing with eachother and set it up as a review. But when I think about it I was just throwing crap against the wall and seeing what sticks. over a week into IM and none of them have stuck. Now I am focusing on one product and learning how to drive traffic...

          Thanks for your help!
          any suggestions for mentor's?

            If you are just one week in to IM, you might being trying to juggle too many sources of income. Back off a little and look at your site. If you were a visitor, what would you think of the site? Does it appear valuable with minimal ads or does it look like an ad spam farm?

            I recommend focusing on 1 or 2 complimentary streams of income until you start seeing some numbers. If you don't see numbers coming in with this, do not (I repeat do not) fill your pages with more ads. Find the problem (no value in content probably) and fix it.

            I promise you, if you stick with it and never stop learning or give up, you will see the money start rolling in soon enough.

              Thanks for the Post!

              I have this "do it fast" attitude when it comes to my site and I need to slow down and build some better content!\
              One road block is my lack of tech. knowledge. The learning curve is pretty steep. However, if you were to ask me a month ago if I would ever own a website. I would've said that you were crazy.
              so small victories on the road to success!
              Thanks

    Your best bet is take a few and mix and match them, also focus on email marketing to get more on the back end and not have them all on the web site itself , esp. if its so much monetization content may not get ranked / treated properly....

    it's worth giving it a go. once you see which ad types perform the best for you, you can reduce the less effective ones in favour of the other.

    alternatively run different types of ads for two week blocks to test.

    in answer to the actual question. I think you would need a pretty darn big website to warrant that much advertising (and keep it relevant and effective).

    As others have said, you have to make sure that your advertising compliments another.

    For instance if you are promoting a Clickbank product on your site and you have a sales page that just promotes that ONE product.

    If you then put adesense on the site you may get people clicking away through the ad sense ads.

    You may think:

    "Well either way I make money!"

    BUT... if the Clickbank product was making you $47 a sale and Adsense makes you $0.08 a click - you will need quite a few clicks and a lot of traffic to match the $47.

    My advice - focus on one form of advertising - get that working and then test more...
