    Hello
    I've a blog having approx 5K UV per day traffic and the traffic is increasing daily, what is the best way to monetize it ? It's a tech and gadget blog, currently i'm making 10-15$ per day from it using adsense, i've just added 1 rectangle ad from adsense on it and 1 link ad, what other alternatives could you guy suggest to get some decent income out of it ?

    Cheers

    well that a high amount, my suggest just use one adsense ads,.. you decide the format. don't put too many ads on your page that.

    5k traffic is easy to monetize. Adsense and infolink work good for my site so i guess it should be nice for yours too.

    Large square ads are the best from my experience, you should be able to make $50-$100/day from a site like that only with adsense, maybe more

    If your website has a high PR and evidently a large amount traffic you can easily sell a few links out on a flat rate or a small monthly basis.

    I would say with you demographic there is no better option then PPD (pay per deal) CPA model. Nothing pays more than that.
    Plus why don't you feature some cool niche gadgets that didn't find its way on amazon? Amazon pays too little plus it's only 1 day cookies, so I don't necessarily recommend it much.

    Have you considered signing up on adtoll and selling ads? With adtoll you set your own rate on how much you want to charge. With selling ads, regardless if you get clicks or no you still get paid.

    Since your blog receives good traffic you can for a small fees write blog entries for promoting other websites on your blog. If you are interested in this please PM with the link to your blog.

    Do you sell some adveritising space on your blog/site? no matter what PR you have, if you have a good traffic from your blog, you can monetize it through "advertisespace.com" (no reff), you can sell the spot in your blog/site with the price you think it is valuable. I my self sell $15 permonth for banner 125*125 and i have 4 spot and all spot has been purchased and I only have 500-1000 visitor.

    What do you think about affiliate marketing ? There are sites that specialize in this and you may benefit from a good percent of sales you generate and a long recurence period.

    With that amount of traffic, i think you should sell some ad space to other advertisers. Spread the word about your blog so that others who want to promote their stuff might become aware of it.

    you could have a mix, some people like to spread the chances, one adsense that fits in nicely, PPC product feed, main content that links to affiliate, and then sell ad blocks, the trick is to make them fit in with the site.
