For many bloggers and website owners, finding a method to monetize their sites in the beginning can be a challenge.

Low traffic means commonly used ‘Pay per Click’ adverts like AdSense can give poor or no earning potential. Another possibility is payment for a 1000 displays, again this can be difficult to achieve or gives a poor reward.

Placement

As with some of the previous P’s place or placement is open to interpretation. To a normal product, it is an outlet where that product is sold, whether thats on the high street or online.

For a blog or website, this is like the external links to your homepage. They are the doors to your business, the more you have, the more potential exposure you can generate. Therefore ultimately leading to more traffic.

One word is used to describe these links, Backlinks, a pretty self explanatory term.
