Hi Guys, Really need some help with this one. The site was my first and I started it around 19 mths ago. Traffic, links, articles and of course the pages everything has been built by hand using my experiences living in Madrid. Now the good news: Traffic wise it is OK... Average of 700 uniques a day, with an average of 3,6 pageviews per visitor. Around a thousand visitors daily when you include the return visitors. PR4... probably a 5 on the next update. Loads of very unique content. YOUR HELP: Earnings on a monthly basis for the site are not the greatest. I won´t give the full breakdown but we are talking around $400... Where am I going wrong??? Any ideas / advice / suggestions most appreciated. *Prize* As a way of thanks a free Sponsored link from my directory (600+ daily uniques) for the best ideas... (max 4 winners)... Sponsored link is sitewide (on rotation) for more than 10000 pages! PRESENT IDEAS: I´m thinking of adding the following; - Monthly Madrid Newsletter (incluiding promoting of special affiliate deals) - Forum - Blog ... and of course shedloads of additional content!!! Cheers, Angus PS: Site is not for sale... its my 1st and most loved.... and no one has ever offered anything other than a rediculous amount for it.
I am sure a forum and a blog will help a lot.... If you won't have a lot of people on your forum I suggest you to get wordpress and bbpress.
Try affiliate programs, think about airlines (flights and hotels), books and maps about Madrid, tickets to events think of Real Madrid, Operas and more of the same. You have the right crowd for these things. Good luck.
