    Hi all!

    I need some expert suggestions from you people for monetizing my website.

    my site address is rlindex.net. It has been hardly a month since I setup this site and it ranks 140K alexa. However, I have not been able to generate any income out of this site. Haven't even recovered expenses.

    Can you peeps suggest what I can do to monetize this site.. currently using adsense but ecpm is like 10c.. which sucks bigtime! I also added linkbucks, but it seems to be driving away my traffic, so planing to drop linkbucks.

    please suggest what can be done to monetize this site..my site main keyword is rapidleech and ranks on 4th position in google. my traffic source can be checked from alexa.

    looking forward to some expert comments!! .. if someone can come up with a decent idea, we're even ready to share a part of revenue.. this can be discussed in pm!

    thanks in advance ^_^

    Hey Ryu,

    Firstly congrats for achieving a high rank in such a short space of time. I am not familiar with Rapidleech and what your site is about but I will give you 2 suggestions below:

    - Sell banner advertising spots on your homepage/other pages. you could charge a monthly advertising fee for advertisers to appear there
    - Do you have download pages? When a visitor clicks to download something, why not redirect them to a page displaying a banner link or other ad before they receive the download?

    good luck with it. You seem to have the traffic part of the equation sorted.

    How many visitors are you getting per month? It's difficult to sell ad spots if you are generating no traffic.

    Check out http://www.text-link-ads.com/ or Google Adsense for starters.

    Yes those are good traffic rates and you should be able to find plenty of buyers here in DP. Like Kerant said, use Google Adsense along with banner ads for more income.

    Have you made any money with the Hostgator affiliate program (I see a hostgator banner on the site). I have 2.5k clicks in my hostgator affiliate account but 0 sales.

    I think you need to optimize your adsense ad placements. Put adsense ads (use square or rectangle ad format) in the main content area of your website at different intervals. Like after "Featured Servers List" table and "LATEST ACTIVE PREMIUM LINK GENERATORS" table.

    First of all signup for cj.com and check the affiliate product for your niche. Then just keep the high performing ones and profit from it. Adsense is for kids. ;)
