Here is the time line: 1 year ago I built a website in dreamweaver. This site has about 9 pages. The pages have content I wrote. So I built the site got board with it and let it sit. The site had affiliate links only not many but a few. I also have a free e-book download on the site which supplements the site. Earlier this year I added a WP Blog. I doubt this has anything to do with the PR, Organic listing etc. It's pretty much add on. I added WP just to get some experience on installing, configuring WP so I can put it on some of my other domains. I decided to take a gander at my webmaster tools to check out my site stats. I have a lot of search queries that put me in the top 8 on organic listings. I've made a little here and there on my affiliate stuff but nothing to scream about. 1 year after building the stupid review site, adding affiliate links and letting it sit My traffic is increasing rapidly. (I checked my server logs) I know there are many out there that have built and monetized from their sites. I'm still a rookie and this site was my first venture. Now that I have natural traffic. Good position in organic listings (page 1) How or what the hell should I do to start making money off this site? I mean real money? This is just a review of a service I use, hence the weak aff links. But I want to turn my income from the site up a notch. So if anyone has any pointers I would be extremely grateful.
