About
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.

Chitika Mini Malls
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.

Finding Places To Add Links

One way to do this is to find the links pages of sites that are related to yours.
So go to Google and type in

or

Help In Finding A Domain Name
Finding the right domain name is tough. There are hundreds of millions of combinations of good words out there, but looking them up one by one can be time consuming.
A good online tool is Nameboy. With this tool, you type in a word, and it automatically looks for available combinations using that word as a base.
Google Keyword Tool
The Google Adwords Keyword Tool is a useful way of finding appropriate keywords for your topic.
If your topic is cancer, for example, the tool returns the following ideas:
# cancer
# prostate cancer
# cancer wigs
# cancer information
# cancer insurance
# breast cancer awareness
# alternative cancer treatment
# skin cancer
# colon cancer
# non small cell lung cancer
Since these are the top keywords for this topic, a wise webmaster would fill out her site by adding pages or posts on these topics.
New Adsense Innovations Coming
Google is testing new ways to help publishers with its AdSense program. According to DMNews,
AdSense is testing a program with a few publishers, letting them send more “signals” about their Web site, to better tailor ads. Though AdSense already uses signals based on the content of Web sites, such as headlines and font sizes, to generate ads, this would let advertisers tailor ads based on their users’ demographics and other signals, which are yet to be determined.
This would, for example, let an IPod site tell Google that its readers are mostly teenaged girls; Google then would be able to target ads more effectively.
Another experiment would allow advertisers to use more text heavy ads.
