Here is a method that is helping Bloggers make more money
There is a lot of debate in the search community over the ethics of SEO and buying links and what not. The Money With Google Blog is not about to start taking sides, and talking about buying links or not, and how you may or may not get penalized by Google.
I wanted to share an easy way that bloggers can make money. You can sell text links on your site that are inside the content. It is called contextual advertising and its a pretty amazing thing that can make bloggers a ton of more money for doing nothing but what you normally would be doing with your blog - blogging!
If you are blogging on various topics that others may be looking for a great place to place a relevant quality link on, then that is pretty much the point of contextual advertising. Relevant links means quality links, and can do a lot for your search engine rankings.
Its worth looking into even for just the money making opportunity.
