12k uniques per day, only $3 in ad revenues

    So the niche is anime. We most host direct media downloads, but also have a fairly active forum. We're currently using Adbrite which pays roughly $3/day on auto. CPX paid about the same. I realize it's a bad niche, but there has to be more I can do to bring up earnings. I tried CPA ads for a week and had almost 1000 clicks no leads/sales. I had ads up for companies like gamefly. Note, due to the nature of the content, we cannot use Adsense. (it's a grey area). Adversal rejected me.. no idea why. So who really could pay me the most cpm/cpc wise for a bad niche? Or should i use something other than straight banner ads?

    PM me for the URL if you're feeling helpful and want to share some tips :)

    Have you tried changing the layout of where you place your ads? Maybe that would help by having ads at the top right or at the side? Just a thought.
