Hey guys. just looking for a bit of general advice. I have a niche site that generates quite a few one time visits. My site offers a collection of downloadable mp3's, but users have to sign up to be granted access to the downloads.

We've been going for a few months and have around 500 members. However, people tend to sign up, download and then never come back.

Can anyone suggest any good ways of monetising a site like this? I do have google ads runnig, but they aren't really too successful...

Thanks everyone!

How many page views does your site get? If it is a high number, i suggest finding some CPM networks.

Any PR? Text-link-ads.

I was thiking CPM too, but I'm not sure what the best one would be...

I'm not 100% sure on stats, the sites stats module has not worked for about a month (hence why I've started working on the site again). But the average seems to be about 150 - so not that many...

500 one-time users with no addiction is a rubbish site. Your best bet is to make it better - add new ideas, somehow improve it and when you have users coming back, THEN worry about monetization, because otherwise even if you get the highest dollar per exposure possible, you still get nothing because ZERO repeat usage times even 100 dollars a click, is still ZERO dollars.

Besides - 500 is a small rubbish number. If it was 500 members and they were returning, then you would never see all 500, so merely maybe 100 users accessing a month.

A good earning for inbound clicks is bound to fall as low as a few cents per person... so you'd get a dollar a month.

Where did you get your members? What worked? How did you get 500 members? Answer that and you have the answer to what you should do now.

But if you really want to know about monetization I'm about to write quite a radical new essay on that in my next post. Thar she blows...
