One of the most important things you should learn with your website is that you have to expand your income.

Increasing your online income is one of the main things you should know when you have a website.

Supposing most of your ads are with Google AdSense. Let’s suppose it makes up 90% of your online earnings. Heaven forbid if Google should ever cancel your account! What would you do if you lose 90% of your website’s profit? Can you recover immediately? Most people would not.

 Articles you can diversify by using pay-per-click, direct leads, PPA or pay per action or by receiving commissions from promoting products or services.

Just make sure to watch the performance of your website. Make certain that you are checking your stats to see which banners and ads are performing the best and swap out the ones that aren't performing as well. It's also a good idea to rotate your banners every few months anyway to get "fresh blood" on your website. You must to do this because your visitors will eventually overlook all your ads and banners as they become “banner blind”.

Creating other websites is another way of diversifying one’s profit. At present, I have several sites that I acquire income from. Just about 4 months ago, Google banned one of my websites from their search engine! This is not an unusual thing to happen among Online Marketers. Apparently they regard my site as a link farm because of the various outgoing links to sponsor ads. At that time, I was making around $1000 / month for that site.Can you imagine the disaster if I didn’t have my other websites to pick up the slack?

Having them on various servers is another way of increasing your online earnings. Hosting is dirt cheap these days. If you can throw one or two of them up on a $5.99 a month server and pay for a year's worth of hosting, then you’re on the right track. Aside from the search engine benefits, you also don’t have to worry if one of your servers will go down.

If you want to have the most money online then you absolutely need to broaden your income streams.
