Would anyone care to help provide ideas or solutions on how to monetize India and Iranian traffic? I've tried Google AdSense, Chitika, and a host of others, but they are not doing that well. Basically earning pennies for all traffic from these countries. Are their any networks which cater to traffic from these countries? Thank you.
This is quite a difficult to achieve. I used to have a high traffic website in Asia as well. More than 50% of the traffic came from India. Have you ever tried to create a squeeze page and to build a list on your traffic? Then you can try to market a series of free or cheap offers to your list members. Higher priced products dont sell very well to Indian traffic according to my experiences. Or how about CPA offers....like getting paid for every visitor you send to survey sites?
Survey offers are for only USA traffic. USA traffic I am earning fine. It's the Indian and Iranian traffic I am earning less than a penny a CPM for.
Yeah monetizing India was never easy You can try Epom Market, def worth your attention. Some highest rates there - up to $0.5 CPM for 300x250 banner.
Try Affinity.com All major newspaper in India use Affinity. I have not used them but they look trustworthy. You can see their Ad's on dnaindia.com
I think before you decide on solutions you need to understand the culture and types of products that will work in each country. India and Iran are completely different, so don't assume that one solutions or idea will work across both countries.
Have been using it for my Japanese traffic, and haven't been disappointed in the payouts. The ad network is apparently reputable enough to give it a shot, in case you have much Indian traffic as well
The best way to monetize your website receiving traffic from Iran / India is via PPC advertising. If you are looking for Google Adverts or even BuySellAds, you probably won't get paid much since the advertisers in these countries don't pay much per click. But PPC for a general website that doesn't care where the visitors are from may work for you.
There are many ways to get traffic for a new website. First and foremost, you need to optimize your site for search engines.Search engines have always been considered a great way to get traffic for free.This is therefore, one of the reason why you need to optimize your site. Another important point is that you must update the content frequently. Frequent update will help you to get more visitors. Use social networking sites for promoting your website. Also use social bookmarking site which is considered a powerful way to get traffic. You must also add URL's in forum signature. Forum signature will help to get traffic.
I would be no different than any other traffic. Capture their emails and place them into a funnel. Give value away for free. Put relevant and suitable ads in front of them occasionally. Track which ads convert best and modify your funnel accordingly. With your new list increase it with ad swaps then sell solo ads. Simple and nearly all automated.
It's my first time to know about CHITIKA from you , thanks so much for that, I have experience only on ADSENCE ,no experience about CHITIKA. By the way you can also try affiliate marketing .
