How to monetize chat roulette traffic?

    Started a chat roulette alternative site, VideoEncounter.com for demonstrative purposes (to showcase script).

    Site traffic went up fast (about 20 000 uniques and 200 0000 pageviews per month as listed by google analytics: about 50% organic traffic from google, about 9% facebook traffic).

    Traffic is 32% from US, 15% from UK, 9% from Germany, 5% from Canada and rest in smaller percents from other countries (mainly EU).

    With these numbers monetization came to our mind.
    How to generate income from this website?

    Our first idea was to implement ppv videochat affiliate programs because most of the users are males looking for females for adult conversation.
    A system was developed (AdInChat.com) to display online models from popular performer sites, right into the text chat conversation.

    Users click on the ads in high numbers (up to 100 uniques per day if we add up all programs). That's almost 15% CTR .

    This is mainly caused by the in chat contextual ads: people waiting for others to chat with, see live models with pictures inside the chat area. (Model x is online, click to chat in a new page!)

    Problem: Low to none monetization with the performer affiliate programs.
    If you're using these and found certain programs/subprograms (i.e. per sale/signup/trial) to provide higher conversion please specify.

    Our next idea is to include other adult related affiliate products and services (i.e. dvds, adult dating...).

    Waiting for your suggestions: How to monetize free chat site traffic?

    Hi, great topic... just in need for myself as well...

    Here are few things I've done with my though:

    1) Instead of cloning as is... I've targeted a specific market (Niche)

    2) I've made them register before they use the chat roulette. Now I have over 10,000 registered users (Monetize later)

    3) I've tried adsense - very minimal

    4) looking for affiliate programs at the moment - that are dating oriented to see if it converts

    5) if none works, I will take the 10,000 (plus 100 new additions a day) registered users and convert my site into a dating site with chat roulette...

    6) then I will probably try to monetize it and if it converts decently then I may keep it or flip it

    Great monetization ideas here.

    Maybe if you build something for a niche and can setup some small membership types for premium features?

    Or if you build a tip system similar to perfomer / member model? So girls make some bucks on these sites full of males?

    I found it to work for me so I guess if you setup your site accordingly, you can get your target market to the site to make money.

    Also included the other AWE program Joyourself with ADinChat. Will see if that converts better.
