I've been on the net for along while, my first site was of Dragon ball Z, though that might be a bit embarrassing now, it was not when I was a young one. That was back when most websites had little layout format, just images and text in HTML, before Cascading Style Sheets (CSS ), JavaScript, PHP and such. However, even though I've been creating websites for so long, I still haven't found out what the best way to make money online is. I have tried Pay Per Click (PPC) programs before, and one referral program, I would say the Pay Per Click worked out a bit better. What are your experiences with this? What do you guys think the best way to make money online is?

The easiest way is to get a typosquatting domain, watch its traffic, and then use a pay per click service to rake in the cash. It's underhanded, but it's worked for many people.

A harder but more honest way is to make a site and popularize it, and add several adverts. You'll make less money, though if hosting costs are quite high.

Haha, typosquatting doesn't sound like to much fun, I would enjoy having a website, that other people actually enjoyed as well. However, if I used that method what addresses would you use, just inquiring?

Typosquatting by definition would be to take a popular website's name and make a small adjustment to it that would make it look like a typo. Then you register it, and then you watch its traffic for a month. After you see how many people visited, you can setup a pay-per-click portal and make possibly $500 a month.

Yeah, I know what it meant. What I meant, however, is what kind of domains would you set up, as in the URL's, like yahoo.com or something of the sort? Give me some examples as I may use this as a future scheme, also , do you have any experience with this?

Yeah I've heard about something like that before but I never got the idea quiet well... I mean what's the point of having a domain name similar to that of a popular site? Are you going to be counting on typing mistakes which people would do while typing the address of the website they intend to visit or what?

What you do is you take a popular site domain, let's say wikipedia.org.
Now you make it look like it has a typo in it, how about wikipdia.org.
Now you register the domain and see how much traffic it gets in a month.
If enough traffic hits it in a month to meet the requirements of a pay per click host, then we go to a pay per click host like Hitfarm.
You point your domain to the host's servers and then they will setup an ad portal for you.
This ad portal can make you at least $500 per month if you have enough traffic.
These ad portals look like http://www.be.com/ and http://www.wikipdia.org/ and http://www.uncyclopdia.org/ . I'm sure you stumbled upon them at least once.

Basically if it isn't trademarked, it's fair game. Like ymndt.com or ylcos.com or even ecapsym.com. A lot of typosquat domains are already registered so it's hard to get in sometimes but if you find something unregistered you might make a fair amount of money. I don't really have much experience in this field, but I've read up a little on it. I don't really do any business online.

Wow I never heard of typosquatting. I've seen it before but never actually knew it had a term. I want to make money off the internet too. My idea right now is to make a Web 2.0 website and serve it to the public for free and just add some ads for cash.

Wish there were better ways of making money online than "typosquatting", it's not my idea of making money. There's gotta be other means other than feeding on the crumbs that drop off the table of creative people.

Just to let you know, it's very difficult to promote a site. I advertise my site quite thoroughly and hardly get 50 page impressions a day. So if you decide to make a site, be prepared to work.

One of the best way I guess is affiliate marketing and selling your own ebooks.

Google Adsense works. My friend made approximately ten thousand dollars from people clicking his ads. Then his account got shut down. Lol. But it didn't take long before he spent it all.

I personally would try to build up a massive community and use advertisements to earn my money. It is an honest and common way to earning money online. You also could provide online services that they pay with a credit card. I have seen some websites that do this.

the best way to really make money online is as the other users have said, create your own website and include lots of content to increase the traffic and get money from ads.

Keep in mind that each visit will only make you about $0.01 and so you will need either alot of traffic or alot of ads. My suggestion is to create a site with free content such as a download mirror for subtitled japanese comics (Of course give the translators credit and stress that you are only providing an extra download mirror)

Of course this will mean you will need alot of bandwidth on the site and a fairly large web storage to ensure that the site is able to provide this service each month.

I have tried Pay Per Click but it didn't work for me. Maybe I was impatient. However, I am doing something more exciting. Let me know what you think. Guaranteed Income Online - Without Selling Anything!

let me guess....for 47 bucks that book or product tells you to do the same thing that person did right??
set up a website saying the same stuff and make them pay through their noses for the same idea?? and you'll get good traffic as well i suppose?

a very under handed method if you ask me....
