hi,

how can i best monetize my 7k visitors a day?
i run a celebrity blog, music-juice.com and recently google adsense said goodbye, so my income has gone down in an instance!

my site gets around 7000 unique visitors/day, give or take.
my top 5 countries are:
USA, UK, Canada, India and Australia...

i am currently using xtend media, and reduxmedia for cpm but they give me an incredible low revenue - i serve about 35.000 impressions/day for each network and i barely make $1.5, even my US impressions are worth 0.04 for 1000 visitors, witch in my opinion is extremely low ...

on saturday i've added infolinks and i am also disappointed with them too:
for 8500 impressions i got 27 clicks they say and only $0.95...

also because i run a celebrity site and i have a huge collection of pictures... about 50.000 pics i am using gum gum ads to monetize them... again the rate they offer are extremely bad: 13.000 impressions and only $0.8...

i have no idea what to try next... all these networks i've tried they're just jokes compared to google adsense!... with adsense i was making $14-$16/day without using any other network... no infolinks, xtend, redux or gum gum.

what should i do ? what networks do you guys recommend? i am willing to try anything you recommend and i will also share my stats with you guys... if that helps in any way!...

maybe i should just sell the site and try a different niche? i can barely pay my dedicated server with the income generated...

hi sarah,

the thing is i have an infolinks account since september 29 but decided to let go your ads because of the same problem: small revenue!

if i am to compare you with vibrant media you are way behind...

you pay 0.95$ for 27 clicks while vibrant media pays me 3 times better... almost $3.2 for 30 clicks...

i will contact the support department and see what i can manage...

any other ideas?

Why did you stop advertising with them?
In addition, there are many networks similar to Adsense (yahoo, 7search etc).

27 clicks out of 8.5k visitors is a really low CTR. Maybe you should pic another niche? When I entered your site I saw some half-nude pictures and an ad talking about art and children. If you are considering advertising with networks like you mentioned, make sure that your niches mach.

I would suggest using Adbrite and Clicksor, they pay really good rates...at least that's what my personal experience have been.

Affiliate marketing is a good choice, adsense is good try to dispute and get Adsense back but you can also use Adbrite or Yahoo Ads

**Spoof** · 05-27-2010, 07:41 PM

You won't get Adsense back with the content of your website. How a guy like you managed to get a traffic rank of 49,000 is amazing.

I suggest you mix things up, use ppc ads for one revenue stream, but also look at something like commission junction to offer targeted affiliate offers on your site.

**john546** · 07-08-2010, 12:12 AM

Have you looked into CPM networks like VCM.

Also CPA seems to be hot at the mo, CPA Networks is something you may want to look into, but then these only do well with quality traffic.

I like your discussion.Thank you very much.

**AjkoST** · 07-14-2010, 09:43 AM

Try CPMLeader.com

**ashokrocks** · 07-16-2010, 08:41 AM

Try linkbucks

its a little tricky to ad the code

details here : http://ptc-investigatorz.blogspot.co...logger_14.html

This is where i get the info.....

**Enfew** · 07-16-2010, 08:48 AM

Use infolinks with smowtion or adbrite

**showbuiz** · 07-17-2010, 07:37 PM

i suggest to get into a cpa network like neverblue or maxbounty. use some zip and email submit offers. they work the best. you get paid from 1-$10 per lead.

**marriemb** · 07-23-2010, 04:32 AM

use yahoo advertiser or msn

**badar1653** · 07-26-2010, 08:46 AM

Try to get direct advertisement. If its too hard you can always try affiliate marketing for long term results.

**ModDish** · 07-26-2010, 09:12 AM

why not sell banner space, and setup a sales script/banner rotator. if your truly getting 7k a day you should be able to sell your own space. frig Id code it for you in exchange for a banner lol.

**benicio** · 07-28-2010, 02:32 PM

i'd probably use infolinks and smowtion if its mine.

**SteveB1** · 08-03-2010, 06:56 AM

That's real nice traffic and I have to believe there's an affiliate program and product or membership site out there that serves this niche. With a decent payout, you wouldn't need a real high conversion rate to make pretty good money.

**bollywoodhub** · 08-03-2010, 10:15 PM

go with some adult affiliate network you will probably make much more money ..also pomoting dating etc .. will blend with your niche. do so at your own risk though
