How This Site Makes Money: Our Complete Monetization Strategy

At TechBoost Hub, we believe in complete transparency with our readers. You deserve to know exactly how we generate revenue and how it might influence the content you read. This comprehensive breakdown explains our monetization strategy, revenue streams, and the measures we take to maintain editorial integrity.

Our Core Philosophy: Value First, Revenue Second

Before diving into the specifics, it's important to understand our foundational principle: we only recommend products and services that genuinely provide value to our readers. Revenue generation, while necessary for sustainability, never compromises our commitment to honest, helpful content.

Revenue Stream #1: Google AdSense ($2,500-4,000/month)

Google AdSense forms the backbone of our revenue model, accounting for approximately 40% of our total income. Here's how it works:

Strategic Ad Placement

Header Banner (728x90): Positioned below hero sections for maximum visibility without disrupting user experience
In-Content Rectangles (300x250): Integrated naturally within article content at logical break points
Sidebar Skyscrapers (300x600): Persistent visibility on desktop without overwhelming mobile users
Footer Banners: Final engagement opportunity as users complete articles

Optimization Strategies

We continuously test ad performance through:

A/B testing different ad sizes and positions
Analyzing heat maps to identify optimal placement zones
Monitoring click-through rates and user engagement metrics
Implementing lazy loading to maintain site speed

Revenue Stream #2: Affiliate Marketing ($3,000-6,000/month)

Affiliate partnerships represent our largest revenue source at approximately 50% of total income. Our approach is highly selective and transparent:

Partner Selection Criteria
