: Making profit - Adsense contains too many stopwords I was thinking of using Adsense, but after I've read about the stopwords policy... Too many words are banned: "a**, s**t, id**t, a****le, bu****it,"

I was thinking of using Adsense, but after I've read about the stopwords policy... Too many words are banned: "a**, s**t, id**t, a****le, bu****it," etc.. That generally means that I cannot use Adsense, unless I edit my posts.

How else would I go about making some profit out of my site?

I don't want to use things like popups, text-link ads, I can't post many shoplinks, and my site is too small to sell adspace.

For specific reasons, I also don't do videos, am not planning on starting a forum or premium content, or anything very close to what's in this sentence.

The reason for this post is basically the fact that I've seen sites without any ads, huge sites, and I started to wonder: how do they make money? That was Gizmodo to be precise.

Some info about my site: It's a blog where I review games and post news. There is no forum, no registration.

You could easily incorporate affiliate links into your reviews for places like Amazon where they can purchase the games that you're recommending. You just have to remember to have a disclaimer on your blog about making money from links as there was a law passed about a year or so ago that oyu have to do something like that.

Another thing you could do is contact publishers of the games you're talking about, or the developers depending on how large the company's are, and discuss advertisement options with them. You want to make sure whatever you decide is relevant to the topic of the site.

I know you said you don't want to use text link adds, but it would be an easy monetization for the site, and an easy step to add, to add an affiliate link to where to buy it at the bottom of the article. Something like "To purchase this game visit [insert link]."

But another question is why are you using those words to begin with? I can understand wanting to do candid reviews but if you're wanting to monetize it many sources of income prohibit text like that.

I'd say check out affiliate programs for monetization given your stated parameters.
