Question by Houyhnhnm: What is the best program for getting cash for clicks on my blog?
I want to write a general-interest blog about my career change and a blog about investing in the stock market. I would like to get a little money out of it, and I’m always reading about Internet advertising increasing dramatically. What is the best program for getting paid when people click a hyperlink on your blog to other sites?

Thank you,
Houyhnhnm

Dear Houyhnhnm,

Probably the best place to start would be to visit most popular program that pay per impression. It is

http://adsense.google.com

This way, you will get paid, for the number of people who see advertisement on your blog, even if nobody clicks on the hyperlink.
In my opinion, this could be better solution for you. I saw advertising houses, such as www.valueclick.com dropping their pay-per-click (PPC) programs and switching to a CPM (cost per thousand) or affiliate programs (you will get pay for the actions your visitors take on the advertiser websites, such as: buying products or subscribing to email newsletter). Some affiliate programs, however, do offer pay-per-click, but will automatically switch you to percentage option (you will be paid percentage of revenue your visitors generate) if your conversion rates are low. Affiliate advertisers in the Investing industry pay some of the most generous rates.

The other website you should consider is: www.blogads.com.
Their ads are combination of image and text, and offer some very competitive rates.

Hope this helps,

Edvard
