How to make money with a website?

AdSense OR abo?

Why not AdSense AND abo?

At the New York Times are 20 articles per month free,
if You want to read more, You should pay for it.

I would like something similar for my site,
around 100 thousand visits per month making 2000.-EUR of AdSense revenues.

Maybe 100 to 1000 abos per month paying maybe 500 to 5000.-EUR,
I have just right now now idea how many people would
pay for my content.

Who can track all the visitors better, than the combination of
Google AdSense and Google Analytics?

So a suggestion would be, that analytics returns a variable

0 = new visitor, less than limit of articles
1 = new visitor, more than limit of articles
2 = abo visitor

I could place the content by DIV outside the visible area.

if ( visitor_status == 0 | visitor_status == 2 )
{
move_content_to_visible_area ();
}

This would mean, that visitors without javascript can
not see the content.

Where the would be normal

"You have read more than 20 articles this month.
Please sign an abo to read more"

I will be with Adsense or similar. My content always will be free to see it, even if with abo I will get more.

Maybe for mobile, tablet etc application will be by small payment.

I think its depends of several factors, NYT, El País, The Times etc is not enough with the normal online publicity to pay lots of reporters and need more revenue desperately.

I hope the NYT experiment succeeds. I also would like to have my readers pay for my very good, original content.

Readers do pay for our content already; by clicking on adsense :)

mine read the content and ignore the ads. Ideally I would like to restrict the amount of free content, just enough to get the reader wanting more, and put the rest behind a pay wall, at the same time making content available that I only provide for sale in print at the moment.

It helps that they have a fancy app store application for their content. People don't buy mind buying apps as much as other methods.

As far as your content goes, unless you're presenting in a unique manner like NYT is, I would assume your content would need to not be found at competing sites with no pay wall.

Google should offer a universal subscription service so that users can pay per page or article for newpapers, books, magazines and website pages - even pay-per-play music. If all the major publishers signed up then it would be more likely that most users would adopt the service.

But from a user's perspective, I hate to pay for something that is normally free. However, pay-per-page could be offered as an alternative to those who don't want to see ads.
