How to make some money off of my blog

    I have an anime review blog thats just been getting alot of traffic over the last few months(its also a PR 2 and listed in DMOZ). Already we have 20K uniques. I do not like adsense, i think its crap for the pennies i get from it.

    Wondering other ways i can make money off my sites traffic. I was told about CPM but have yet to find any ad sites that i liked. Any suggestions?

    I assume CPC is excluded if you don't like Adsense.

    My second choice would be adsdaq.com or any other high paying CPM.

    I would sign up for Ebay and sell related products and books.

    Adsense pays crap compared to commission sales. He has a very specific niche, no need to take his traffic and send it to someone else for pennies, when he can sell the products himself, especially given the appeal that anime has to collectors.

    Not saying that maybe an adsense banner isn't worth some real estate, but there are better opportunities. Don't try and make it your sole source of income.
    Adsense is a side dish now, not the main course.

    Is that 20K uniques per day? Or per month? You should do quite well with adsense if it is organic traffic of 20K uniques per day!
