    Sell advertising space on your web site. You could sell banner ads, classified ads or sponsor ads.
    • If you have enough web space, you could rent out subdomains and host other people's domains. Give hosting away for free (or sell it for cheap) and make money by including your banner ad on the web pages.

    Generate "Quality Content". By quality content, I mean find an area that you are an expert in (or you feel passionate about). Then start writing about it and generate content. Believe me, when you find such a niche, your content will be unique. People will get attracted to your website and crawlers will like it.
    • If your content (e.g., e-books, software, reports) is really worth it, you could also start charging people to access a certain part of your website. Consider the pros/cons among one-time fees, monthly/weekly plans, and pay-per-use options.
