Hello i am the owner of Taekwondo.net an online taekwondo community website. Currently my website has about 750 members in 3 months and my alexa rank has moved up to 350,000 but only generates about 300 per month. Its pr4 right now and its pretty high on search engines for keyword taekwondo.

The domain name is a top branded domain name and was quoted by GD for 250K. I want to bring more profit to this website

any experts can help me with this? i will try and compensate on growth if you stay by me and guide me

thanks

it looks like you used myspace's layout for your site? did you?
also experiment with ad placement

Try Adsense optimization. I'd give the following a shot:
1. Abandon Adlinks
2. Switch to Squares instead of vertical columns on the home page
3. Allow guest access to the forum and other sections of the sites, many guests just casually browse and end up clicking on ads ..

nice domain, ugly traffics... try to get your alexa ranking to 5 digits number then you can start talking about income....

unlike websites, my traffic is nice but ugly income...
