    I have a site that gets 4k+ uniques daily and I'm only earning $100 a month. I'm with CPX Interactive & CPMStar. Any ideas on how I can increase my earnings? please don't say adsense cause they didn't like my site.

    Have you tried already? make it inexpensive like maybe $5/mo and let them know that bandwidth and site upkeep cost money and you need to pay for these things so they can enjoy them.

    If you only get 10$, that would be 400 PAYING members paying $5 per month, That works out to 2,000 per month. Much better I think.

    Leave some of the videos out for the general guests as teasers.

    Hope this helps

    I would check into getting a CPM advertisement that paid a decent rate. If you are getting good traffic relative to your niche you could always go with direct advertisement by selling it to anime companies which always is more money than CPC or at least for the most part it is. Adsense is a supplement but I don't know any website that makes GREAT money directly from adsense that isn't a premium publisher.

    Imo, its the ad placement on your site, you got everything bunch on the sidebar. very annoying to navigate and people tend not to click the obvious. maybe put 2 small ads in your single.php

    You can surely increase your earnings by placing more ads on your site or joining more cpm ad network.

    Have you tried Tribal Fusion, they pay very good for cpm, but not sure if they will accept your site and they required high quality site, but you can always give it a try, you have nothing to lose and you may get lucky.

    Also you may give AdsDaq or Snoork Ads a try, they pay pretty good for cpm too, but with AdsDaq you need additional ad network. And as I said previously they might not accept your site, but you can give it a try, you won't loose anything.

    Also what you can do is join some ppc ad network as well such as AdBrite, they don't pay very good, but you can see how they perform on your site.

    Hi Ruriko. I suggest you expand your income streams. Instead of just relying on ads for your income, why don't you think of other ways of making money out of your site? If you have exclusive content then redstar and Nikel's suggestions would work for you. Make it affordable and you'll be making extra money than just ads. Aside from that, why don't you sell other products? If you can find a legal way to sell merchandise through your site, then that would be great too.

    I hope that helps. :)

    PS: I'm a fan of Darker than Black :D

    You may register with adbrite and related affiliations may help you to earn more than this.
    BTW, you should not provide full access of your website for free. Make some interesting and hot videos as featured for which a a paid registration required.

    Well, the site users want to watch paid content for free, so like Ruriko already pointed out: it's not gonna work...
