I've traffic...how can I monetize it?

[Egy_lover]

Well...I've 2 blogs about relationships advice and so...both blogs are getting many visits daily and ranking well for some keywords....the problem is the romance/relationships niche is not that lucrative with adsense,
and people are not very likely to click on an ad

(in a few days i had more than 600 visitors and 0 clicks!).....now is there an idea about how can I benefit from all these visitors? should I put more adds? put more attractive image ads? put irrelevant ads? Use cpm ads? If yes plz tell me how and what do you suggest, and the good cpm networks you use

my 2 blogs:

http://healthyromance.blogspot.com

thnx

Affiliate adds

[Komicwords]

keep maximize the traffic and affialiate ads is good alternative and I think if you could join smorty they could give you some paid to review project or what about infolinks, I think this "inside ads link is more "attractive then adsense"

[dglas]

the alexa rank look very low to me. that is not good traffic at all.

[lindamood1]

you need to put something informative which people looking for

[BelissaC]

Have people do a paid review on your blog. There are loads out there. For starters, you may want to check out reviewme, payperpost, sponsoredreviews.

Hope this helps.

You have no idea why your visitors come to your site, and you are using a free host so you probably have no idea how to get statistical information on your traffic.


Figure that out and you'll be on your way. Build it and they will come is not the way to make money.

some more detail about traffic how can I monetize it

[kbeus21]

I would check to see if eharmony or match.com has an affiliate program. This would be your best bet.

[malfumos]

The idea goes like these you should put banner images that can catch the visitors to click on. For example for that would be "this man or woman are really interested to meet you" by that banner image ad visitors would be encouraged to click on that banner ad and it should look nice and not so adult content banner image ad. But some of the visitors are more likely to click a banner ad that are more adult image ad. So, I should suggest you to try all the ways in order for you to get your commissions.

try zangocash thats what im also working on now and there are alot of DP members making money from it already!

A few ideas:

1. Open an account at Clickbank. Choose ebooks that appeal to your target audience and drop the respective affiliate links amidst well-written posts. Repeat the links at the end of each article, and don't forget to include a strong call to action ("Click here now for more relationship advice," or something like that).

2. Write and sell your own ebooks.

2. a. If you'd rather save time and/or make sure your ebook will look truly professional and helpful, don't write it yourself. Hire a good writer instead.

2. b. After writing your ebook (or paying someone else to do it for you), you can start your own affiliate program and have other people promote and sell your product for you. Clickbank is one of the sites which allow you to set up your own affiliate program.

3. Visit FriendFinder and see if their affiliate program is available for hosted-for-free blogs.

4. Try some t-shirt affiliate programs. For tips and links, read this article.

Don't forget to add fresh, optimized articles to your blogs on a regular basis. Get used to researching appropriate keywords before you write and publish any new posts.

Good luck!

If your sites don't make money with Adsense..then you should try selling books in Amazon..or join affiliate program...clickbank...and so on..you have to test it yourself because nobody can know which programs make you money..
Let us know your result..

Alexa rank is not an accurate representation of traffic or popularity.. It's basically worthless these days.

That won't do you any good, and only makes small amounts of money,

The best options, and the one that makes the most sense. If they do not, you can always use AFF, (Pussycash) they have more dating banners than just the porn ones that everyone sees, and they have niched out the online dating scene and broken it down by ethnic groups as well. This is the best option that I can see.

[Zirkon Kalti]

You can monetize your blog by selling blog posts on your blogs.

[SolR]

You can always sell reviews/advertisement space on your blog.

[Egy_lover]

thnx alot guys...I'll try the aff banners as well as clickbank products, too...thanks for all your advices

[Squidoodle]

Build that list, and crank out so affiliate offers!

[RickGueli]

Dude, best thing to do: Send them a questionaire asking them what their most pressing questions about love, romance, etc. is, and then come up with an information product based on your researching their needs from the feedback!

Obviously creating an email list of your readers makes the whole thing a helluva lot easier.

[RickGueli]

Selling BLOG POSTS?? haha... Clever... I've never thought of that. :-/
