    I have a image host that is extremely busy. I know I should and could be making a lot of money off of it. I am looking for someone that could help me market it and monetize this site. Of course I know that it is not free. SO please pm me with your portfolio or experience and price to help me get this site making me some money.

    If it's very busy then you don't need to market it. It seems like your main concern is monetizing it. What are you using already? PM me the address.

    I had a look at your site.

    You use adsense, but for me you overfilling the page with ads, make it clean and clear, 1 ad in a very good location will make you more than 3 ads and a referal link slapped everywhere.

    Just think more about ad placement, and maybe think about going with a different advertiser, because adsense is great for content, but not so good for images, but then again its completly up to you!

    Neptune, can you let me know where you got your script from?

    I have been looking for a script that has ads on the direct link to the image page for the longest time now.

    If you could please let me know I'd appreciate it.

    I am using adsense. I just added adbrite to it because it pays for impressions not just clicks.
    Thank you very much.


    Thank you but I tried that. WHen I did that my earning fell to almost nothing.
    I got it from a friend of mine. He said he wrote it. Whether or not he did, i truly cannot tell you because I would be lying. Thanks so far everyone. Anymore recommendations?

    I would have to ask him how much he would want.



    Response from him:
    He asked if there was an offer you have in mind? He said the only thing he did not write was the thumbnail creator.

    there is nothing called "ads on the direct link of the image"

    as long as he allows hotlinking then you can access the image and inlude it in img tags in forums with no ads

    here is a direct link for an image hosted there

    http://i1.uploadem.com/08022007/Bluehills.jpg

    do u see ads there ?

    you just considered it "direct" because the text above the link said so ;)

    well. ill. be. damned.

    Im sure this was the one.

    Are there no scripts out there that have ads on the direct link page?

    Thanks for the heads up tech entrance.

    I think it can be done with some mod_rewrite work but i don't claim i can do it

    the thing is, people use image hosting to hotlink the photos to include them as signatures in forums not to go to another site to view them (unless you have a gallery)

    i didn't have success with image hosting sites in the past and i don't intend to get into this adventure anymore because it reminds me of registerfly :mad:

    i think the best way to monetize image hosting site is

    1- cpm ads like cpxinteractive.com or adversal
    2- Google picasa referral or google pack now
