What is Website Monetization?

The term “Website Monetization” explains the process of earning from your website or your blog by using your website or blog as an advertising platform for the companies that provide content or related to the site. Now to explain the process of monetizing your website, you need to choose and convert the existing traffic into a particular website which will, in turn, be converted into revenue. And the best way to monetize is to implement Display advertising (more accurately pay-per-click advertising and Cost per Impressions (CPI/CPM) advertising). The web publishers should consider some metrics for monetizing their websites like eCPM or fill rate (percent of inventory where ads can be shown by the partner advertisers).
