Hello Friends! I have travel site, I am easily getting PPC traffic ( From adwords) of 200 - 300 hits everyday. With min bidding and few keywords. I know with some higher bidding and including more keywords I can easily get 500 - 1000 hits/per day. But the thing is how can I monitor this site other than adsense ? Does selling some adspace to hotels/restaurants/ is good idea? If so I can I approach them ? Can any one give me some useful tips to monitor my site. Thank you!
Have you checked out cj.com, they have some good hotel and travel affialiate programs which may work well on your site. CPA network offers may also work for you.
You can try use webstat to monitor it. Its a good way to generate side income by selling banner ads to hotel. Try to search for the yellow page and email the hotel marketing department to ask them to buy banner ads at your site.
Thanks for the advice. What is webstat ? Is it banner selling site ? Can you show me live URL . I can't find out it in google.
There are several website monitoring programs available. I would get one. You should try to find people who wish to advertise on your site. Perhaps you can find some on this site. You can also try affiliate programs but you have to make a sale to get money. Personally I prefer natural organic SEO because you don't have to pay for the visitors.
He meant "monetize" not "monitor". A good approach would be to try and sell stuff. Look in clickbank.com for related offers. Just go to the clickbank marketplace and search with your keywords. An even better idea would be to join a CPA network like Neverblueads or PrimaryAds. They'll pay you if your visitors fills in web forms for their offers - no need for them to buy for you to get paid.
Whoa! Wait a minute. You're sending Adwords traffic to Adsense? If you are then you could just be about to get your Adsense account banned. They banned a load of accounts for this about a year ago. I'd advise you to stop and change to some other method immediately.
