Passive Income

There are different affiliate programs that can help you earn "passive" income through your web site. Google adsense is one. Amazon's associates program is another. (You can see samples of both of these on this page: right hand column.) A third is Search Feed. This is a search engine that you can incorporate into your site. What is important to figure out is whether you diminish your website's content and message by incorporating these tools into it. What you earn in passive income may not compensate for traffic lost, or site appeal diminished.
