Whatever monetization you do, whether PPC, or Affiliate programs......you need traffic.....

Hey thanks for the info, links are really cool

 

Once you have traffic, I would tryout google adwords, as i find they pay the highest cpc.

 

Does link submission and blog posting by some1 help my site, will the traffic sustain ?

 

I don't see how link submission and blog posting could hurt you, unless you have some insanely low bandwidth limit and too much traffic.

 

Traffic is the best way to get some revenue...

When you get that traffic, you will also get enough clicks on ur adsense.
And then, you can supllement by using CPm networks like tribalfusion etc

 

Thanks for those links. I'd read them before but forgot the bookmark them

 

you can use adbrite

 

Hey thanks for all these valuable advice, i really appreciate it, i tried out 5$ stumble today from the stumble upon website, i immediately got 100 hits within 5 minutes, not even a single click, i feel that the traffic is not at all real, i check google analytics and found most hit's time on site was 00:00 doesnt it mean its fake ?

 

Don't buy fake traffic.. unless it is for genuine advertisement/promotion.. That is you feel that those visitors will become loyal..

You do that once you have a good amount of content and you keep adding fresh content..

otherwise you site looks good...

 

oh thanks for the comment, yes i actually din know its fake traffic

 

its not fake traffic, people just went by your site so fast, because they were probably repeatedly clicking the stumble button
