Hi everybody, I have a site (www.googleidol.com) that's generating decent traffic of about 15,000 visitors a day. I've got Adsense running and it's doing okay, but I really want to start making better money off the site. I was pointed to Casalemedia, ValueClick Media and Tribal Fusion and they ALL rejected my application without giving an answer. I assume it's because of the word google in the domain and while that frustrates me, I can wear it, but can anyone suggest any other affiliate programs that would be good for me? My audience: 80% European (Germany, Netherlands) 10% US Age group of about 8 - 35 Like I said, traffic is good and after only 2 mths live I'm ranked 22,000 at Alexa. I tried MaxBounty and HydraMedia but they were all totally US based ads and did absolutely nothing for me. Any help would be very much appreciated. Ben
I'd give a shot at CJ and possibly try out Advertising.com ClickBank, you may be able to generate some revenue through them. You should also take a look at the Max Media Manager advertising platform for inhouse advertising. It works great for housing ads and using it to manager all advertising. I use it and it works great, might be worth checking out for you too
I'm pretty sure they rejected you not because of "google" in your name (I don't think they care what your site is called), but rather because of what you said -- 10% U.S. traffic. The big CPM networks are very US-centric, so 10% of 15k/day is 1.5k/day, and that's not nearly enough. You can give Axill.com a try. They are relatively new and pay a flat .30-cent CPM.
