I've got a tattoo site that is getting some fantastic publicity and I think it would benefit from relevant ads relating to the niche and not generic shit that any ad network shows when they your keywords won't match their inventory. Would you consider writing/e-mailing other tattoo sites or shops etc...? If so, what would you write? Perhaps I should just wait for them to come to me? I mean, people like TylerCruz.com with PokerForums.org - what do you think he did? Khalid.
Personally, if you are getting high quality traffic I would look at setting up a newsletter/email list and just put a small Advertising link somewhere for potential advertisers to find. Until you fill the space, use a reliable ad server solution and just load it up with affiliate programs. That way you're making money right from the start There are tatoo affiliate programs, they're just not as common.
