And if there’s one thing I’ve learned from the Warrior Forum, it’s that it’s smart to have multiple income streams, and I’m applying this to the mage, as well.  I’m monetizing my sites with various different methods.  I also want to test and see which strategy works and pays the best.

• EPN: I’m trying hard to create most of my sites with keyword mage, which uses ebay product listings to create buying keyword-rich title and content.  These sites are monetized with ebay’s EPN, quality click program.  Each post has up to 100 relevant ebay listings, and I get paid for each click.  Greg and the other mages agree that this type of monetization pays the best.
• Adsense: Many of the domains I had already owned and just sitting gathering dust, however, were information-based.  Those are now being monetized with adsense.  The keyword wizard gives me hundreds, if not thousands, of related keywords to my niche, and those become the post titles.  The CPMage includes a great adsense plugin.  I configure it to show only the large rectangle at the top of each post.  Most of my revenue thus far has come from two of these adsense information sites.
• Clickbank: Another strategy I decided to implement last night was to use clickbank products.  Again, I used one my dusty information domains, and loaded it with niche-related keywords.  I then found related clickbank products, and put the link html code into a plugin.  So at the top of each post on this site, the visitors see links to the clickbank sales pages.  Greg doesn’t mention this method at all, I’m just trying it.
• CPA: Lastly, I loaded two of my sites with CPA offers.  They are both zip submit offers on product-based keyword sites.  The site is about a particular product, and the zip submit entices the visitor to get that product for completing the offer.  I don’t know a lot about CPA, but I’ll give it a shot.  If it performs miserably, it’s easy to remove the CPA banner, and put ebay or adsense on the site instead.

Those are the four methods I’m using to monetize my sites right now.  Again, so far, the adsense is paying the best.
