What are the ways to monetize website traffic?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

Hello!
There are many courses and techniques for improving the position of the site in the search, SEO - strategies, etc. BUT in itself, it's not worth anything, even if I bring my site to the top 3, in itself it will not bring me a penny. How to make money on traffic - for some reason no one talks about this. What is needed for this? Connect to some kind of affiliate programs, such as YAN, and, in fact, that's all. Otherwise, today you can’t monetize an information site in any way?
The same is true in social networks, there are publics with 50 thousand subscribers, who earn almost nothing, and there are those who, with 15 thousand reading heads, row 100 mowers. And they don't teach it. They only teach you how to conditionally recruit these subscribers.
What can you say about this? Can you recommend something to see/read? Thanks

Everyone has their own niches and their own ways of monetization.
Sell ​​ads directly on the site
Connect YAN and Adsense
Connect other networks - (admitad)
Advertise products and turn on an affiliate program - here is Aliexpress for example https://portals.aliexpress.com/publisherRegister.htm etc.
