    I have a few sites that get 150 to 300 new visitors a day, and have been making a few bucks a day with adsense. I have been looking for new streams of income, but I has been tough. I also have have some clickbank links, that don't convert very well. The problem is that my traffic is NOT targeted. Does anyone have any ideas or know of any "like adsense" programs that pay more? Thanks!

    150-300 vis per day is not enouf to make serious money
    Adsense pays the most

    Get few k's/day traffic to make more then few bucks and get targeted traffic this ain;t easy not evrybody needs to make money online just people that have skills work hard and maybe invest money and time ...

    Like someone else mentioned, why not try an affiliate program? You can make more money than with Adsense. I use Clickbank and haven't had a problem with them. Their commission rates are high as well. With some products you can get up to 75%.

    If you are going to do affiliate marketing, I would suggest you also look into learning copywriting. There is a product called PAWS (persuasive article writing secrets) by david bocock. He tells you ways to write so you will "hypnotize" your readers into wanting to buy.

    Try to sell ads or find the aff product which relate to your site. You may get more money. You must make a test.

    "I have a few sites that get 150 to 300 new visitors a day"...

    How did you get the traffic ? Maybe they're not targeted ones, that's why the convertible rate low.

    You may try out for affiliate marketing if you've not done yet.

    I would advertise your ad slots on forums. Adsense won't bring you much with untargetted traffic. :)

    Well i think you need to put relevant ads of your traffic, if its misdirected traffic then it wont be fruitful, moreover adsense does not get much. Just get the idea what sort of traffic are you getting, then put relevant ads.

    There are many alternatives to Adsense. I've tested Text Link Ads, AdBrite and Bidvertiser. The results were ok, but not awesome.

    Read about the alternatives here and there's also a list of 39 other alternatives as well.
