Making Cash On The Web is a serious attempt to compile useful information about making money on the internet. It is a combination of things that I have learned myself, as well as information culled from other sources. It is NOT about get rich quick schemes, or wierd marketing programs. I am not going to sell you anything.
If you don't yet have a website but want to get started making cash on the web, start here.
Ontok Highlighter offers a new way to monetarize your website. You install a bit of javascript on your pages and the programs scans the text for keywords, turning them into active links. Ontok says that
the Ontok Highlighter only highlights words in your page that are either product-related or topically related to the page being highlighted. This results in ads so well-matched that your visitors will actually find them useful.
This is one of the many things where I’m kicking myself and saying “Why Didn’t I Think Of That.” A college student put up a web page where he sold ads by the pixel. One million pixels available. And one millions dollars when it was filled.

Following on the success of Google’s Adsense, there are a lot of contextual pay per click ad programs out there. Unfortunately, they all look somewhat alike.
One that is refreshingly different is the Chitiki MiniMall program. The Chitika program is a javascript ad that has a couple of small tabs. Hover your mouse over the one tab, and you see a product that matches the text on your page. Hover over the other, and you get product information and a search box.
You have to see it. You’ll really like them.
These companies pay you to display banner ads, pop up ads and other annoying displays.

I have not tried most of the others and can’t say anything about them one way or the other. The best thing to do is to give them a try and see what happens. If you have any experience with any of them, I’d like to hear from you.
