SEM Tycoon

I have a site that receives over 150,000 unique visitors each month, but I have no clue how I should advertise it since I've never owned a site that's received as much traffic as this one.

First of all, the site in question is RO-Guardians.com, and the main attraction is the forum, which has over 15,000 members:
RO Guardians Forum

Right now I have a few CJ advertisements aswell as a few AdBrite ads. Just put them up yesterday so I can't really give much detail to how much I'm earning.

The site is based on a popular online game. How would you recommend I monetize the site? should I try Adzoogle?

I'm hoping to monetize this site to try and bring in $xxx per month to cover server fees so that the site runs on itself.

I appreciate any help you can give me on this.

does this game have any type of affiliate program or would it be possible to privatly advertise with them in any way?

just a suggestion i guess :-/

Here are a couple of basic suggestions:

- Invest in a custom design, this will give you some creativity for your ad placements

- Don't have your PPC or Contextual ads too far down the page, people barely scroll.

Maybe there's an affiliate programm for the ingame currency.

lol u lost me at 150,000 uniques a month lol, i use google adsense for my forum and i barely get 1000 uniques a month, most was 880 something, that was last month, already got over 100 this month, in the past 3 days, with that much visitors, u could be successfull with almost any cpc program

http://www.rofantasy.net yours too?

It's basically a redirect.

Right now I'm trying some mobile ads on AzoogleAds and hoping I will get some results within the next few days.

- AdBrite?
- Selling premium forum membership? (I started doing this couple of week ago and it seems like a good plan)

**Skribblez** · 09-04-2006, 03:18 AM

Tried AdBrite already, no good.

You're banned from Adsense aren't you?

You could try enquiring to some places about banner ads. Possibly selling text links

**pfarris** · 09-06-2006, 12:56 AM

I might give textlinkads.com a try. I just started testing them on one of my sites, but I have heard good things about them.

You might give them a try? But you've started testing them on one of your sites? ehh? So what is it?
