Help with Making Money From High Traffic Image Host

    I am in need of assistance on how to make money from my image host. My image host gets millions of hits a month today alone we had over 40k uniques. I currently have google and another cpm and cpc company but I am barely breaking the 20.00 a day mark. What am I doing wrong? Is selling rotating banner spots the way to go? If you are a professional and need some money to help then let me know also. I have heard of some people marketing sites for advertising. Thank you in advance!

    Maybe you could try some square images instead of the horizontal banners (on the image pages.)

    Try using just one banner for adsense then the other advertisement use affiliate link. Also for those type of websites you can use pop unders which will bring you a boost in income quickly for as many hits as you get

    also another thing I just noticed that will help raise your CTR is take the border off of your advertisements on the square one because it just screams this is an advertisement and no one will click it.

    ah yeah didn't notice the signature link. anyway yeah i agreed with primeelite. take those border off and also change the color of the url link from green to be black. this will help you blend the ads better.
    another this is the space next to your top logo, you can cut the size of the logo to fit only the logo and use the rest space for adsene (show only 1-2 ads) that may help too.
    nice domain and clean site anyway.

    I notice imageshack or imagestack, what ever it's called is using banner ads and a popup or popunder. Maybe you could look into that area. Also adbrite may be another solution or Adengage.

    Yea Imageshack. But alot of times there ads contain malware and spyware. I am trying to avoid such practices as those and just provide a good clean free image host.
