    Yeah I would think you would be picking up some affiliate sales, are you getting targeted traffic
    for certain products on your website?

    I use amazon and cj on my cell phone site and if I was getting that many visitors I would have some sales,
    I have made sales with limited traffic so far, still building traffic right now..

    it depends what your personal goals are.

    a website can either be for fun, or it can be fore $$, depends what your personal mindset is.


    if your wanting to make $$$, the potential for a website is really only limited by the person that makes it...some people here will tell you they make xxx - x,xxx figures (or more) from there website on a monthly basis

    Also now that I have been to your website I left in a hurry because of some type of script you have on there
    that locked up the screen trying to load activex. I think you need to get rid of this, you probably have a high bounce rate..

    It depends in how much you're working. If you're dedicating a lot to your site and working with passion, that's a bit too less. But if you're drinking beers while watching the Football League, well this is fair ;)

    You never deserve money. You do work, you get money. Not making money? Do better (not more) work.

    Affiliate programs do not work effectively on content websites. Casual surfers are never usually in a mood to buy anything. They click on adsense ads because its just a matter of a click and they are not being charged. Affiliate programs work best when the traffic is highly targeted.. and by targeted i mean traffic which *might* pay for the product you are promoting. The only way to achieve this kind of a traffic is through search marketing.

    for the amount of traffic your getting that is about right for contextual advertising. actually i think it should be about $60-80 a month with that kind of traffic. you should also ad pay per sale type banners on the site and your income should increase a little more. just keep trying to build your traffic.

    I don't think that is enough for the traffic you are getting but that is just my opinion. Try testing and testing and testing with different approaches until you find the most profitable one(s).

    I suggest you try to testing different ads on your site. Also if you site is getting the many people per day you can even try to sell ad space on your site.

    Main thing though if you're trying to make money you have to track your stats a little better. I would use Google google analytics so you can track a little better. See if people are staying on your site if so how long, and what other pages are they visiting on your site.

    Also try to increase your CTR on your adsense if you want more money.
