A simple yet affective way of saving your link juice is to “NO FOLLOW” your affiliate links and any non essential links.
Basically each time you link to an external site you are giving away some of your sites PR (page rank) as you are voting for that site by giving them a link.
If you spend a lot of time link building for your website or affiliate sites, you don’t want all your hard work to be for nothing, so here is what you need to do to ensure you are not giving away more that just a link.
An example hosting affiliate link
<a href=”http://secure.hostgator.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=hostingosc” target=”_blank”>Hosting</a>
An example of the same link but with NO FOLLOW
<a href=”http://secure.hostgator.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=hostingosc” rel=”nofollow” target=”_blank”>Hosting</a>
When using the no follow tag rel=”nofollow” visitors will still go to the site and you will make your commission, however google will not count the link as an outbound link thus saving you sites precious pagerank.
Thats smart link thinking!

OK, so you have a site and your finally getting visitors to your site, now how do you make money from your visitors? you could sell them a product of your own, you could promote an affiliate product, but most people start with AdSense ads.
AdSense is easy to set up and if your getting traffic to your site then that should convert nicely into a bit of extra pocket money for you.
If your site is in a common niche you may only get a couple of cents per click, but with enough traffic even the poorest of niches can still make you a few extra $’s a day.
So what if you are getting traffic but not getting any clicks throughs?
Well this was my case with my Dream Interpretation site. i was getting hundreds of visitors a day, about two thousand page views a day and making less than $1 a day 
I decided to create a new template for the site more geared up for displaying AdSense ads, I now have a text ad unit near the top and 2 large vertical columns one for a banner and one for text ads.
So far this is working much better and i am now getting around 5x the revenue each day.
It seemed like a lot of work at first but its worth it long term, if you have a wordpress blog its a lot easier you can just upload a new theme, if you are running a 2.3.x wordpress blog and above i recommend having a look at this site as the have links to all compatible 2.3.x themes that are free.
Good luck and happy earning

I previously wrote about 301 redirecting www to non www url and vice versa to avoid a possibility of getting a duplicate content penalty, but the is another scenario where you can have two identical homepages.
Google See’s your domain. say www.bettermychance.org and www.bettermychance.org/index.php as two different pages with the same content on both. so a great way to solve this problem is by putting some code in your .htaccess file
Here is what you do:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://www.bettermychance.org/ [R=301,L]
Replacing my domain above for yours.
Now when anyone goes to your domain.com/index.php they will be redirected to your main URL thus eliminating the chance of a duplicate content penalty.
