   YES — through advertising

   1. Join an advertising network. Advertising networks are organizations that aggregate Web sites that offer advertising space, and sell banner ads (and other advertising options) across them. Traffic requirement is often a minimum of 5,000 monthly impressions, although many do not accept sites hosted by free page services.

   ValueClick http://www.valueclickmedia.com
   Advertising.com. http://www.advertising.com
   Tribal Fusion http://www.tribalfusion.com

   2. Participate in contextual advertising networks. Contextual advertising are text ads delivered based on the content of the web page using an automated system.

   Google Adsense https://www.google.com/adsense/
   Chitika http://www.chitika.com
   Kontera http://www.kontera.com

   3. Sell advertising for your site directly. This is admittedly a more difficult route for a small business site wanting to earn advertising revenues. But hey, as they say: “no pain, no gain!”

   b. Affiliate Programs – you sell other people’s products that your audience may be interested in; and you get a certain commission after the desired action was done (whether a sale, a lead, subscription to email newsletter, or however this is defined)

   Notice that ways to make money with a website are different from ways to make more money from it. Methods to increase your traffic or click-through rate will help you make more money, but they do not represent a method of making money per se.

   For example, one could suggest that blending AdSense ads with the content is a way to make money from a website. In reality it’s not; it’s just a way to make more money by improving your ad click-through rate. The real monetization method behind it is a PPC ad network.
   The list is divided into direct and indirect methods, and examples and links are provided for each point. Enjoy!
   Direct Methods

   1. PPC Advertising Networks

   2. CPM Advertising Networks

   3. Direct Banner Advertising

   4. Text Link Ads

   5. Affiliate Marketing
   Affiliate marketing is a very popular practice on the Internet. Under this system you have a merchant that is willing to let other people (the affiliates) sell directly or indirectly its products and services, in exchange for a commission. Sometimes this type of advertising is also called CPA (cost per action) or CPL (cost per lead) based.
   Affiliates can send potential customers to the merchant using several tools, from banners to text links and product reviews.
   In order to find suitable affiliate programs you can turn to individual companies and publishers like Dreamhost and SEOBook, or join affiliate marketplaces and networks.
