Making money with a website is less complicated than ever before today. Even the most novice computer users can, with a paypal account or credit card, can have a fully functioning for-profit site up and running in a matter of a couple of hours. The key to the web based income revolution has been the rapid adoption of a special site platform called WordPress and the click and install plug-ins that come with it.

Making Money with a Website Using WordPress Making money with a website using WordPress is one of the most common techniques in the internet marketing community. Search engines like Google find the content within these sites to be easy to find and categorize. This enhances the Google user experience and as a result any site using WordPress has the advantage of improved organic search listings (meaning lower cost of acquiring visitors - all else equal). Getting more visitors to a site for little or no cost is crucial to startups.

Point Click and Install Plugins for Monetization and Customization Another reason this platform is picked is because of the large library of pre-written programs (plugins) and themes. It is quite easy to install the program and have a nice looking site ready for use in about an hour. Changing the appearance of websites using the platform is literally done with a single mouse click. Similarly creating pages to place ads or affiliate links is as simple as using a wordprocessor, using essentially the same user interface. People with little to no program experience at all are able to monetize their new domains with one of the plugin programs or their own links.

SEO Enhancements and Ease of Maintenance Maintenance on WordPress sites and plugins is done by point and click. With a couple of the canned SEO enhancement plugins installed establishing good keyword authority is ensured. As the owner adds more and more content the reputation of the site grows. As links back to the new domain grow so do the number of freely gotten visitors. Making money with a website using the WordPress platform is made easier by all important free traffic. All of these internal links are managed by the platform - none of this is done by the user. Maintenance now is mostly handled by the one click updating process.
