diversifying your site

Ok, visualize with me here for a second...

if you could turn your site into a portfolio, what streams of income would you find coming from it?

--google adsense
--affiliate links
--hard or soft goods

what else is out there?

what might be the most balanced portfolio for a site?

these are broad questions, but I'm just trying to equip my mind with ideas.

Paid reviews is another way to make money. All you do is mention a product or company and get paid. Then also put up pages on HOW-TOs.

sorry if this is an elementary question, but how would you get started with paid reviews? do you seek the product or company yourself, or do you participate through a middle man site?

You sign up, then wait to be approved then the companys come to you!

usually starts at around $5 - $10 per review. Some people get $1000+ per review.

Also, after you build traffic to your site, you may sell areas of your page for posting ads, either independently or through a service, such as http://textlinksads.com/

Ok I am up and running, now I have a few questions.

1. I have been approved for adsense, how many ads am I allowed to have
I think my confusion is one link may have four ads. Is that one?

2. I'm still confused about what constitutes a payment. I've seen were people have visited my website, and I just got it up and running, it said I had 70 clicks but in the $$$ it said $0.00. Can someone explain?

3. Channels, I undertand it is a tracking system, do I put in the URL's for each page?

I'm sure by the end of the day I'll have more questions.

The terms and conditions tells you but I think you are allowed to have up to 2 units (blocks on AdSense code) on a page (could be 3 now so correct me if I'm wrong)

Channels are good for separate websites. For example, my blog is a channel and my websites are another. So I have 6 channels. 4 for my site and 2 for my blogs.

Sometimes it takes a while for the payments to be updated. That happens often where you'll see clicks and no earnings. Just give it a few hours and it will update.

Have a look at the Manage Ads section of adsense, real handy and now would be the time to implament it.
