In a case of make money from blog, particularly when blogger use pay per click platform as one of the ways to make money online, those reasons could be taken into account. Pay per click platform is known as the easiest way to make money online because there is less efforts to do with big chances to earn money. To gain the maximum result from pay per click platform at least your content should meet readers needs, the blog navigation is easy to use, and the ads offers are relevant so you can earn more from every traffic you have.
But, the fact shows that make money online, include pay per click platform, is not as easy as it says particularly to get as much money as you can. In this situation, build trust to your costumers could give significant benefits for the long term business.
