    Hi all, I was asking in another section about link sales

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=94368

    and was told to try other means. We already use adsense - I am looking for additional ways to create an income from this site

    website 8 years old (though we did change domain 5 years or so back)
    hits 40000-50000 uniques/month
    900ish pages 800 of which are long articles - content over 1000 words
    topics science, education, food, energy etc
    PR 6 homepage - most internal pages are 4, though many 5, a few 6 and a few < 4 (newly submitted articles)
    New content added every few days
    The owners (i'm just the administrator) would be looking for quality adverts in related fields. I'm not sure they want to much overblown capitalism on their pages, which is why I am avoiding usually afrfiliate schemes

    I'm still preparing a preoposal for the owners, so I will not give out the URL.

    So can anyone suggest ways of earning income for this site? I need to strike a balance between maximal earnings and subtlety


    So, what would you all do if you were me?

    Thanks

    I would get one of those amazon.com shops set up, similar to the one I have on my site, and sell books and items that reflect the points of interest on your site. If you have a science site, then attempt to sell science books.. etc. It may set there, statically, for a while. But some amazon stores are completely free. The one I'm running costs some money, tho.
