After many years of dealing with anime, I'm just not as successful with monetizing the niche as other anime sites. It's not as though my site gets poor traffic either. http://www.onepiecehq.com Alexa: 91,000 Monthly Impressions: 380,000 PR 2, and still ranks higher than a lot of PR 4 sites. I can easily make this higher, but there's no point if I can't monetize the traffic. Most traffic is through Google. Recently, I tried to sell the site to somebody more competent, but due to the topic of the site I can't get it listed. So, I'm stuck trying to monetize it, but the problem is I don't know how. Adsense pays only about .01-.05 cents a click for about $100/month. I tried various filters and settings, but nothing works. Valueclickmedia and many other high-paying publishers never responded or say there's already too many anime sites. I've tried adbrite before, but I had poor results. Right now I'm going to read up on how to optimize it better and try it one final time. I can sell media/membership services, but it takes money to make money. I can't afford another server on my budget. I don't know what to do with this thing, so I'm asking if somebody can please help me out and give me advice on how to monetize this. I have no idea how these other anime sites manage to do it. Thanks for listening.
If you could get those much traffic , why u not keep it as your earning source? I would earn alot from it by many other means!
