firstly i'm not sure if this is the right forum ...

OK i'm running a new but already very successful and well recieved website (www.lfcstreams.uni.cc soon to become .com) but i want to make money from the site. i've spend over 48 hours on the site in 8 days and obvious i'd like to get something back.

what is the best way to make money from my site, google ads? tradedouber? ask companies myself and dealing with them direct? so basically i'd like to make as much money as possible to pay for the domain and the hosting and have a little bit left over for me, and i'm hoping your going to help me.

you may use both - google adsense and pay-par-view sposnors on your pages (depends on your design settings/pattern). Try fastclick as pay-per-view sponsor (no clicks required - only number of views counted).

Yeah the most important thins is placement of the banners. I would suggest placing only a couple of banners in rotation.

You can usually make the most money from setting up your own ad program. I recommend www.idevdirect.com and using their low cost software.

Just my 2 cents

Adsense is a good option.

Im not sure if you will be accepted by Fastclick until you get a .com. They are pretty strict with waht they accept though.

I use CJ.com, I have made a fair bit of money through them. Just make sure the ads you use from CJ match up to the content of your site, or something that your users would be interested in...

The COOP Network is good, but it's not for money, it's more for search engine placement....good nonetheless though.

Took me 10 months glued to my computer 5 hours a day before I started getting a decent income from my site.

what do you consider a "decent income". Numbers please

. It all depends how much you're expecting or willing to get back from your website as revenue (profit minus expenses).

^ agreed

**Xxxxxpp** · 01-22-2005, 03:37 PM

adsense and fastclick combined is a very workable solution

**MakeMeKing com** · 01-27-2005, 03:14 AM

also a lot of it depends on your traffic. I use primaryads.com and their zip program works out pretty well for me. I also sell ads myself with that idevdirect thing someone mentioned above. Good luck

For me too.

**HaRRo** · 02-01-2005, 08:46 PM

google
www.adhearus.com
and fastclick seems to be good
also try places like www.tradedoubler.com

I use adsense at the moment, and am getting a clickthrough rate of 0.80%. Is that low, high, average? it's a semi-new site (old site - new-remake). PR of 5. Uniques a little low at present. Anything better?

**guitrmn** · 02-18-2005, 07:10 AM

Why not try a little bit of everything? I've had everything from pop unders to affilites to banners. Adsense and whole myriad of others.

You're not going to know what works for your site until you try.

Sign up at Commision Junction, get some ads. Look for some good affiliates, sign up. Try Adsense....the list goes on. You don't have to stick to just one either, rotate them. Use one for 6 months take it down and use another.

I do have to say though from experience, it takes money to make money. Maybe not directly, but for me a little more than elbow grease was what it took.

Where can i find "pay-par-view sposnors?" - russonline??

**Easy Web** · 02-25-2005, 03:56 AM

CJ and Linkshare for good affiliate programs.

Overture and Google Adwords can bring additional visitors to your website.
