1000 Uniques a Month - Help!

    So I run a Rapidshare search tool.. I get over 30,000 organic uniques a month and make about $100 p/m in Adsense.

    I also promote a Clickbank product that I have had ZERO sales on after about 800 clicks.

    Can someone please tell me how I can make more $$ off this site than $100 per month in Adsense??

    Here's traffic stats:

    Any suggestions / Help would be greatly appreciated

    I guess many of us are just tired of repeating the same ol' advice, time after time to the same ol' question.

    There should be a sticky for something like this.

    So why isn't there???

    100$ per month is very low. I think you could easily earn about $300 at least.
    I would suggest sign up with AdBrite, Text-Link-Ads etc. You can sell links there.
    You can also post an as on the Buy Sell section on this forums.
    Good luck to you.

    I don't see how Adbrite would make me more $$ than Adsense already is? Also, if I offer to sell links on DP I wouldnt begin to know what to even charge for something like that. Any suggestions? :)

    only $100 a month?

    If you're getting 30,000 uniques in one month, you should be making atleast $150

    I get 30000 uniques a month and I made 100$/year
    Gaming sites are very hard to monetize.
    I've had 1million+ ad impressions and 1000 clicks and earned less than 100$

    My site is kinda popular but I don't see a way to make money with it.
    Even if I would change meta keys to get different adsense ads it wont change anything

    I tried
    - adbrite (doesnt work)
    - zango (nope)
    - etc

    trying intergia now since their ceo emailed me

    any help is appreciated I get 1k visits and around 2000 impressions a day

    Remove the clickbank if it's not selling after 800 clicks. Try anything else in its place, as it'll do better than $0. Or, at least, can't do worse.

    What ads are they? Can we see them?

    What is your site's URL?

    Did you ask friends, coworkers, message board members, others to critique both your site and the ads?

    Also know that with most ads you will get, maybe, 1% of your visitors clicking on them.

    Do the math.

    Have you tried ringtones, e-greeting cards, IM smileys, and other fun stuff?

    Stay away from boring ads, like Adsense. I don't put ads in my site, but if I did, it sure as hell wouldn't be boring ass ads like they have.

    Choose nice, happening, colorful ads.

    Go to davesdaily,.com. Look at the top banner on greeting cards. See how nice that looks? How fun that may be? That ad has been up there for, who knows how long now.

    That's just an example, mind you.

    Show us your ads, your site, and, especially the sell pages of the site they are clicking to that aren't converting.

    The site's sell pages they are going to could be crap, too.

    That, by itself has a lot to do wth it.

    "I also promote a Clickbank product that I have had ZERO sales on after about 800 clicks. "

    You could change the product...

    And I'm willing to bet that you could find at least 4 smaller sites who would pay $10 a month to be advertised on the site. That is an extra $40. You could make it 8 smaller sites for an extra $80.

    Is the clickbank affiliate product a porn site? Just curious.

    With adbrite or text-link-ads or selling links at DP you can start with $25/month or so price. You can adjust the rate depending on demand.
    Also put a Buy Advertising link along with the ad.
    You can do 6 links or so at the same time.
    Another option is in-text link sells from kontera.com

    Sell direct advertising. Ditch Adsense and Clickbank.

    If you are talking about the Evidence Eraser, the first thing I would do is ask click bank to give you a squeeze page that doesn't have a huge "AFFILIATES" tab that tells you that you can earn (translated means save to a buyer) 75% by signing up to become an affiliate. There is also no price listed on the site. People are suspicious of a free trial that they don't know the final price for.

    Just my thoughts

    30,000 uniques a month man. Forget Adsense, cheapens your site and you get one click and gone effect for anybody who does click. With that many uniques you could make way more by selling direct advertising!

    Go approach some players within your niche. Adsense take a cut, directly - you keep everything.

    I looked at the site 3 different times today and it appears that the ads are not exactly relevant to what you're promoting. Add some more keywords in there and see if there is an effect.
