Best way to monetize 20k visits per day. Adsense giving around 80$

I just hit the traffic jack pot with one of my site.

Got 20k hits yesterday, giving around 80$ from adsense.

Anyone having any good ideas on how to monetize further ?

Sites is movie related and currently have a quire high adsense click though, but with 20k hits I guess I should perhaps add some CPM adds, or is 80$ good enough for 20k unique visits ?

Also can CPM adds go along with adsense ?

 

You are doing something right!! I would get a quarter of $80 for 20k hits! Love to know what your secret is!
You could put affiliate links on your site. Go to Clickbank.net. Or affiliate banners from clixGalore.com The range is Huge!

As a very desperate idea you could install a PayPal donation button on your site with a quirky line. "If You enjoy visiting my site how about buying me a cup of coffee?" Reward for effort but it could backfire. This technique usually works better on a weblog.

 

Sometimes rather than having a donation system. Have a subscription system. Where people subscribe to your site and get access to some kind of exclusive content or such.

 

Donation is not really possible with this site, its way to small for that.
Same with subscriptions I guess.

You can compare my site to a Movie star fan site. Got a few pages with info and thats it. Traffic is coming from SE's on main keywords.

Affiliate links might work, I will check if clickbank got something useful for my type of site.

 

wow..20k with $80 is great...I don't have that high trafic..but it is definitely higher comparing in ratio

 

That's a great amount of traffic, you can make much more money by putting an affiliate program/ebook related to your site's niche, and you can also try various CPA programs.

I would suggest you to experiment with these two (affiliate programs and cpa) , you can make a lot of money considering the amount of traffic you have

 

Better still...Put A donation button, that allows people to view new content for free as long as they donate..some people will go for it..becasue they will think that the content is acctually free..when you have to pay a donation anyway..set the minimum done to around $2

 

with that many visitors you MUST be able to do better then $80 with a good matching affiliate offer.

 

If you're interested in a CPM network, ADSDAQ is your best bet - it's got a bunch of cool features including setting your own CPM rates. You can then put in Adsense as backup tags for when all of your inventory isn't sold.

Check out a more detailed ADSDAQ CPM review for some more info

 

I'm not sure what kind of traffic everyone has but $80 on 20,000 hits is horrible. Just a rough estimate but I made around $2,500 with affiliate programs on the same amount.

 

Wow, your niche must be very low paying. If you plan to stick with the niche may be its time you use affiliate programs or direct advertising.

 

very true - do the maths and you're not being well rewarded for the effort you must have put into promoting your site.

CPM would be an idea in addition to CPA. Why not? Google won't provide it on request, but most other main companies certainly do...

 

popups? layers?

 

Donations are fairly useless unless you are providing something very useful. Go for CPM ads or you can use 1 more google image ad block(which looks alot like CPM). Feel free to explore with video ads too.

 

Still getting the insane SE traffic (around 15-20k per day) ;-)

So would clickbank be the way to go or should I look for other affiliate networks ?

My traffic is 99% from SE's

Also if your a affiliate master and know the tricks and products to promote, PM ME right away and I might give a little bonus for helping me if it turns out good ;-)

 

You say SE traffic but is this standard SE or something like Google Images or StumbleUpon?

Also, it's impossible to suggest an affiliate without knowing keywords.

 

All traffic is normal google search traffic ;-)

Just got some hot glowing keywords hehe

Will only reveal keywords to someone who know affiliate work and are willing to help me a little. (dont want to reveal my niche)

 

Can you tell us your affilate programs?

 

Well, I honestly have zero interest in affiliate programs (aside from my own) so if you want to PM me a general niche or something I'll let you know if I can help. I've been doing this for over 10 years.

 

Wow. 20k hits! We only get around 5k unique hits now I think.
