    I have had this site for some time and I just can't figure out how to monetize.
    You can see by the attached awstats screenshots that the traffic is up every month.

    Site will need to be transferred via cPanel, most hosts will help with that.

    I did use adsense until they would not allow the use of it on this site, my adsense account remains intact they just removed them from this site.

    Adsense prefers unique content.

    I faced the same problem with my article directories.

    Google disabled Adsense on my article directories. There is nothing that I can do. :D.

    My Adsense account is still functional and I use it on my other sites.

    Seems fake to me, the Alexa should be like under 100k for sure.

    It is 6000 per month, not 60000 per month.

    I have a site that gets 15000 uniques a month. It has an Alexa rank of 800000+

    where are the visitors coming from? search engines, referrals, direct? Have you tried using any thing other than adsense?

    I switched to adbrite but they have since folded. Just looked at awstats and it looks like 96% of the traffic is coming from a variety of search engines.
