Websites that generate a decent amount of traffic usually get approached by businesses that are willing to sponsor the site. They usually add these sponsorships with banner ads and/or Paid Reviews.
Banner ads are just ads placed in a banner style on your website. This is usually located at the side bar of the websites. Depending on your payment schedule, the ads would be displayed monthly or even weekly.
With Paid reviews, the business could send you a sample product to write a review on it. With this, you are in no way obligated to write a good review for their product. Some would also sponsor any of your posts with an attached back link to their site. This is usually done for promotional purposes.

Whenever a visitor clicks on these links and purchases, you earn a cut from the cost of the product/service.
