1.000 uniques/day - how to monetize?

Hi

Got this one website that receives 1.000+ uniques/day. I want to monetize it, but, i can't use Adsense. I can but i won't.

Ideas?

- Create a PS3 Games (ex), big banner on major site, and get the traffic to the PS3 to buy games (afilliates)?

Other ideas? It's a shame a site with traffic and it's not monetized.

 

Try The Rubicon Project. It optimizes your sites advertising automatically - here's a link to a post I did about them: Rubicon Project Review

You should try it out for a few days and see what your eCPM is, then sign up for Adsdaq and set your cpm to a few dollars higher than that and set your Rubicon Project tags as backup tags. Therefore, whenever the high-cpm ads aren't displayed, your Rubicon Project ads will be displayed. Here's an Adsdaq review.

 

First, I would click the links in my sig. There are 2 very nice options for monetization.

 

MoneyMoose once again has it spot on.

 

The Rubicon Project sounds pretty awesome, might sign up soon and check it out but afaik its beta right?

 

It's in beta which is actually a good thing right now because they aren't going to take a cut of your profit (I assume that's how they'll make money out of beta) yet. It's still gotten me a lot more money than a single ad network and I honestly have to highly recommend them. I think the stats were a 50% higher ad revenue average for publishers.

 

I'll take a closer look, thanks mate.

Any other ideas?

 

Use affiliate programs like Linkshare or Commission Junction. Another idea is to get a Clickbank account and search their marketplace for ebooks that cover the same topic as your site. Create promos or previews of the ebooks.

Start offering a newsletter so that you can increase the value of your Website by building a userbase. You can then use your newsletter to gain additional revenue.

If your site grows even more, consider using Google's Ad Manager (should be out of beta in a couple of months) to manage your ad inventory and to use DoubleClick ads to fill your unused inventory.

Good luck!

 

Two / three other ideas:

1. Sell an ebook you've written.
2. Sell an ebook someone else has written via an affiliate program.
3. Sell a handful of "sponsorship" links.
