Question

【题目】 If you’re looking for ways to increase your income, you might be considering accepting ads for some companies’ products on your website. Here are the ways:

Promote an affiliated (附属) product on your site. Joining a company’s affiliated program is one of the simplest ways to start Internet advertising. While affiliated links aren’t technically ads, they allow you to make money by promoting someone else’s product. 【1】

Use targeted advertising with Google AdSense. Google’s AdSense program allows you to make money by placing targeted text ads made by Google on your pages. The ads appear in the bottom of a web page with the words “Ads by Google”over the top. 【2】 Anyone, even students, can use it. Google does all the work of finding relevant ads for your site, and you just collect the payments.

【3】 If your site is already getting lots of trade, try looking for sites that offer more products. Be sure to contact potential Internet advertising partners in a profession manner. Call them on the phone instead of just e-mailing them so your communication is more personal and professional. 【4】 The more information you can give them, the more likely they will be to consider your offer.

Sign up for a blog-specific ad program. If you have a blog, consider signing up to feature blog-specific ads on your site. The key is to consider the kinds of ads your target audience will find valuable. Get advertisers interested in your blog with a link they can use to contact you for rates and requirements. This link can be a simple message saying “Click here to find out how to advertise on this blog!” 【5】

A. It’s easy and free to join.

B. Approach companies directly.

C. Sign up for a context-based ad program.

D. Be ready to supply them with information about your business.

E. Making money from your site isn’t a matter of putting up a few ads.

F. Through it, you can earn payments when someone makes a purchase.

G. In that way, anyone is free to discuss advertising opportunities with you.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何在自己的网站上接受一些公司产品的广告来增加自己收入的办法。

【1】结合上文While affiliated links aren’t technically ads, they allow you to make money by promoting someone else’s product.（虽然附属链接在技术上不是广告，但它们可以让你通过推广别人的产品赚钱。）可知你可以通过附属连接赚钱，故可对应到F选项“Through it, you can earn payments when someone makes a purchase.（通过它，当有人购买时，你可以获得广告费。）”。故选F。

【2】根据下文Anyone, even students, can use it.任何人，甚至学生，都可以使用它。可知加入很容易，也很自由。故选A。

【3】根据下文Call them on the phone instead of just e-mailing them so your communication is more personal and professional. 给他们打电话，而不只是发电子邮件，这样你的交流就更私人、更专业。可知是通过打电话更直接的方式来联系公司，故选B。

【4】根据下文The more information you can give them, the more likely they will be to consider your offer. 你提供的信息越多，他们就越有可能考虑你的提议。可知是建议要给你联系的公司准备好向他们提供有关你公司的信息。D选项中information与下文中more information相对应。故选D。

【5】结合上文This link can be a simple message saying “Click here to find out how to advertise on this blog!” 这个链接可以是一个简单的信息说“点击这里找到如何在这个博客上做广告!”可知下文继续对这一行为进行说明：通过这样简单直接的方式，任何人都可以自由地与你讨论广告机会。故选G。
