AdSense and affiliate marketing is extremely hot in the marketing world right now, primarily because of the fact that you need not spend hours and hours of tedious writing to create a product that you can sell for $27 or more. This article will outline the four major ways you can build a website to profit immensely from both of these methods.



The first type of site you can create is the traditional niche content website. This method involves you building a site from scratch. You need to create a template, add content and implement your adsense and affiliate links. You can download free templates or pay for someone to create you one. You can collect content from free reprint articles from directories or you could use private label articles - you could even use a mixture of all three.

The second type of site you could build is a blog. These are great because of the way you can automate some of the tasks and because of the fact they are free to set up and maintain. Select one of the free pre made templates. Slightly edit the template to include adsense and affiliate links. Once that's done you simply need to add content and you can do that like you did for the first method. Post to your blog once per day for the first month, 3 times per week for the next month and then once per week for the rest of the time and you will have a blog producing a consistent income stream for months and years into the future.

The third type of site you could create is an article directory. I'm sure you've seen them before and I'm sure you've used them before, but have you ever owned one before?

You can find free software to power your article directory and once it's set up and you have a regular stream of traffic, you will have tens, then hundreds, then thousands of authors submitting content to your site on a daily basis. That means thousands of new pages with your adsense ads and affiliate links being created every day.

There are thousands of article directory sites out there now however and competition is fierce. You should perhaps consider setting up a niche article directory on a particular subject, so that you can dominate that niche market.

The final type of site you could create also involves profiting from content your visitors submit. Setting up a forum can be very profitable, especially as you can build a relationship with your website visitors and they are more likely to purchase or click on something you recommend.

These four methods of building niche websites can prove to be very profitable in creating regular and explosive streams of adsense and affiliate income and the best part of this system is that you can make money even if you don't work on your sites for weeks or months on many occasions.

Don't expect this to be easy method online money making however. You still need to build your websites, promote them and tweak them for maximum earning potential.
