Google AdSense is one of the most popular ways to make money from a website. AdSense has been used by bloggers to monetize their blogs over few years now. The logic is simple.

Other difference of affiliate programs from AdSense is the amount of money you are making. If people will buy the product you can get from few percent to 30 percent or even more. Let’s say visitor bought winter boots $60 value. Then you just made $18 (30%) out this sale!
3. Private Ad Sales
Get paid for placing ads or writing sponsored posts. You can decide yourself how much money to charge for ads and negotiate with advertisers. If your blog will become very popular, advertisers will find you themselves. Or you can use web-services that help to connect buyers (advertisers) with sellers (bloggers) to make a trade.
Once you will get your blog up and running and search engines start to send people on your website, you can experiment with different ways of monetizing your blog. Put some thoughts into how and where to place ads. Analyze your traffic and earnings from ads to adjust them the most effective way. Don’t be afraid to make a big deal out of advertising on the blog. Wasn’t that your goal? Don’t be afraid of experiments with ads.
But also remember the main rule “Content is the king” and content is the key to get traffic to your blog.
