Website monetization problems: 100k people/day

    Hello!

    I own a website with around 100,000 unique users/day.

    I am not big professional in internet business (I have zero experience in this), but, I, however have to pay huge bandwidth/hosting bills.

    The problem which I am facing now, is that I can not receive my payment from AdSense, since I can't get the pin code.

    I have requested it two times already and I still did not receive it.

    That means that I probably won't receive 4000$ earned on Adsense in this/next month.

    However, I need to pay huge bills.

    I believe that there are some alternatives to AdSense, which would pay on per day basis. Because other services I have seen so far has ~60 days delay or bigger.

    I am not even sure that I need a PPC program, however, I think it's best for my site.

    I have tried affiliate programs but they really didn't bring me anywhere. Their outcome was not bigger than 20$ per day

    Is there anything you guys would suggest? I'd appreciate that.

    Thank you

    You should call adsense up to let them know your problem.
    By the way,you can try CPA lead to generate money coz its more profitable than adsense.

    I want to know how you get 100k unique visitors/day! And $4k a month in adsense alone?!?!? Let me in on your secrets.

    Oh and back to question. I have no idea what your website is about, but affiliate marketing for sure.

    if you need you money fast, sell you own products is a great idea. you said you have 100K traffic on your site
    then you can write an ebook or record a video course to show people how to get these big traffic is a great idea.

    then you can sell your product for example on this forum, warriorforum, sitepoint etc and sell it on a scale style like for first 20 copies $7, next 21- 50 $14, next 51-100 $27 surely you should get a lot of response.

    You should try hard to find solution. Otherwise, cashflow out of your pocket without flying back to you, no good at all , the longer , the worse. Best of Luck !

    What CPA program would you recommend?

    I really didn't find anything decent, all "cpa" programs look a bit like spam and I doubt users will like this kind of advertisement.

    In fact, I do not want to raise lots of money from my users, and I don't want them to pay. That is why I think that "ppc" advertisement is best for my site, since everybody is happy that way.

    I am only looking for neutral and least annoying way of monetization, like with AdSense. They don't have adult/spam/gambling websites in the program, and it's very useful.

    However, I can not receive their PIN code due to some post mail issues or whatever is it. I also don't feel very confident with them, I have read that they block accounts with money and you gotta be very careful with them.

    I am not really a businessman, I am more a coder who is making things for fun.

    But now it's getting difficult since I have to pay ~80$/day for growing traffic bills. (3-5 TB day) and I can not wait for Adsense for months.

    That is why I am looking for another way of monetization which would return profit instantly (I think that is possible with my amount of traffic).

    If you really have 100k traffic a day, then I would recommend using advertik system on your site that rotates ads every 10 secs without a page refresh. You can then advertise different affiliate banners advertising categories of stuff you agree with. Advertik.com ad system is free and they do everything for you whilst splitting the commission.

    Worth a try nothing to lose especially since you can start off with one button spot.

    Call up Google/Adsense

    Just curious, what is your audience?

    Old people? Regulars? College students?

    You should probably come out with a $19.99 ebook...you would probably get a ton of sales

    "I really didn't find anything decent, all "cpa" programs look a bit like spam and I doubt users will like this kind of advertisement. "

    Correct, don't use anything CPA unless you hate your users. As goes for many of the CPM networks.

    Since you do have traffic and are not trying to ring every dollar possible out of it you need to stay with the mainstream forms of monetization.

    This means just plain regular ads. Adsense is of course the most popular, other big ones with non-spam would be the likes of Tribal Fusion, basically anything that has high minimum traffic per day since this means they care about not serving ads to spam sites and will actually look the site over.

    Really though I would suggest staying with adsense, unless you are interested in researching new ad networks. As others have said contact Google, check that you have the address filled in correctly, there is no reason for getting your account activated to be impossible.

    This would of course require you to output the capital until the issue gets resolved. I don't know where you live or what capital you have but 80 a day is for an individual no doubt a bit daunting, hang in there. Two possible options are loans from family and friends or asking users for donations to cover the cost. Do also realize that adsense waits a month before sending money earned the prior month. On the programming side you can of course try and reduce costs, reduce image quality and temporarily suspend cpu expensive features. Maybe contact your host to see about reduced costs in exchange for ad space.

    Beyond anything, do realize that digital point sort of makes up the under belly of web master forums, only worse forum I could think of would be black hat world. As such realize that many suggestions made here are worthless, and often self serving. That everything with a grain of salt.

    I'll advertise on your site if its related to entertainment niche / attracts mostly USA / EU traffic. I have a very large budget.
