thumbs upBelow are my top recommendations for Internet-related products and services, advertising networks, and affiliate programs to make money online. I have personally used all of them at one point and they have worked out nicely. Be sure to try them out for yourself.

Web Hosting

Liquid Web

If you’re looking for a reliable web host for your sites, I highly recommend Liquid Web, a 10 year old company specializing in fully managed Windows & Linux Dedicated Servers, VPS, and Shared Web Hosting. They own their own data centers, guarantee 100% network uptime, and offer unmatched customer support. Winning the Web is hosted on a VPS at Liquid Web and has received exceptional service.

Ad Networks

Google Adsense
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past 5 years, you’ve probably heard of Google Adsense and used it to generate advertising revenue for your sites. Google has revolutionized contextual advertising with it program by automatically serving relevant ads depending on the content of a page. This is a must-have if you aren’t signed up already.

Bidvertiser

An alternative to Adsense, Bidvertiser is a CPC ad network with a low $10 minimum payout (compared to $100 for Adsense). This might be a good choice for bloggers and publishers just getting started.

WidgetBucks

WidgetBucks is a great money making option for publishers with shopping and technology related sites. The system revolves around a pay-per-click shopping widget that can be added anywhere on a page and displays the most popular products based on buying trends of 100 million shoppers.

AuctionAds
AuctionAds uses the giant Ebay affiliate program to serve up related auctions in a format similar to that of Google Adsense. Since AuctionAds is a large network of publishers it is able to command higher payout rates - which means more revenue for you and your sites along with easier implementation than if you tried to use the Ebay affiliate program on your own.

Directories

Best of the Web

Submitting to directories just to get links for SEO value is a thing of the past. However, Best of the Web is still one of the remaining directories that offers value to visitors. I recommend getting a listing for more exposure for your site. Not only do you get a valuable link, but you get interested people clicking through to your site. A listing costs $79.95/year.
