I know about Google Adsense. It shows related ads (images or text ads) on your web site and blog content.

You can read it more

There are many ways to monetize a content-based website. Adsense is only one of them.
There are also affiliate programs out there that pay you $500 per sale.

Be creative... see what others are doing...

I predict that only a few professional or exceedingly talented writers will ever actually make a significant amount of income directly from advertisements placed alongside articles in the planned Open Encyclopedia.

Nevertheless, the Encyclopedia may be a good place for new writers to gain experience and display their work, in order to gain credibility with other publishers and audiences.

Perhaps Adsense will be most valuable to most writers not as a source of income as such, but as a reality check on the interest that their writing can generate.

It will also serve as a source of suggestions for new writing topics. If a particular piece of writing attracts certain kinds of advertisements, and these attract many viewers, then the writer can use this feedback to design further writing projects.

Of course, Knol will also offer other kinds of useful feedback to authors, through comments, viewer ratings, and so on. It is obviously a complex system, so we will not know what the real potential is until it has been up and running for a significant period of time.

The important thing to remember is that affiliate programs and Ad Sense pay per click programs can provide income for the site, however it is equally important to note that the placement of these ads is very important. Since most of the ads look at the text above and below the ad placement to determine what advertisements are displayed. This is only part of the puzzle; traffic needs to be driven to the site and it can take time for funds to materialize.

There are a number of sites that allow writers to provide content and even to write articles, works of fiction and other pieces for money earned b y advertisers on the site. You can earn money on these sites, but it does take time and a lot of work.

This site provides an excellent opportunity for writers at all stages of experience. New authors get the chance to have their names displayed and to become known on the internet as writers. For those with intermediate skill levels, it allows them to expand their reputation and hone their craft. The advanced and/or professional writers get to experiment with new techniques and to provide advice and guidance to the burgeoning writers.
