    Hi,
    I run the site www.hotandawesome.com which receives 5K+ pvs/day, 1200+uniques with 5 pageviews/visit. I use adbrite but it only gives me ~$1/day.
    I tried affiliate programs like AFF but it didn't give me any result. The banners ran for 2 weeks and didn't have even a single free signup.
    Any tips?

    The nature of porn sites is that they don't pay very well. The reason being? People come for porn, not ads. These are not desirable people, mainstream advertisers don't want anything to do with them. Therefore, you get very few clicks and the few clicks you do get, pay very little.

    If you can find a CPM provider that takes porn, you could be set but I don't have a name for you as I'm not in porn.

    dude that is crap earnings for that many uniques must be less than a penny per visitor... I'd look at something else to monetise your site like a little blackhat (cookie stuffing)..

    check out this list of CPM companie. The first one pays up to 1.80$ per 1000 impressions of popups ( US/UK based, other countries = lower rates ), pays twice a month through Paypal with 100$ minimum :). Also try to combine it with one more network which allows inpage banners

    Try the CPA networks like copeac and put some dating ads on your site. They pay very well - like 2$+ per signup.

    By the way, that is exactly what those who purchase the adbrite full page ads on your site are doing :D

    Uhm, you are seriously wondering why you do not make any money with that site?

    * It's porn. Of which products can you think, that sell through porn, except more porn? Right, the only people, that would advertise through you, have the same problem as you: No money.

    * Your content appears to be whatever someone pulls out of a random filesharing network and cares to upload to your site. In other words: A lot of low quality garbage, from questionable sources. What I have seen so far, was neither especially hot nor awesome. Do you seriously expect me (=the customer) to pay for a completely unsorted mix of dozens of different styles?

    * Popup windows - Do I have to say more?

    * While I am still looking through the first page of videos, for one that may fit my taste, the page suddenly redirects to tell me, that this website was brought to me by rude.com today and pesters me with a sign up form. I must say, I am in awe of your type of humor.

    * None of the videos I clicked actually worked on first try (partly because of that redirect). This is not really an inducement to buy at all.

    For some reason, I get the impression, you actually took classes in how not to do it. That site looks like it was build to drive customers away, not attract them. I can only give you one advise: Stop thinking "make money fast". It does not work, as you probably figured out by now. You don't get rich by stealing other peoples content and plastering it with your own ads (if some videos sport some other companies watermark, you can harldy claim them to be yours).
