A friend of mine launched an iPod Touch / iPhone site on Jan 14th 2008 We would like to know how he could maximize the amount of money he makes from it. The site receives... - ~3,200 hits/day - ~2,400 unique hits/day - 600,170 hits since January 14th, 2008 - About $4 - $5 in ad revenue per day - Established on January 14th, 2008 The site is www.touchpodium.com Thanks!
Affiliate marketing is a good way of making money, especially when working with tangible products. You might find a iPod reseller that is willing to give you a portion of the profits everytime you bring in a sale.
Get some CPA ads in there. Also, if you optimize the Google Ads in the right spots, you'll be easily making more from clicks with the site.
Chitika perhaps? Sell iPods/iPhones (and accessories) via them... As soon as you find any affiliate system for selling iPhone applications - get that.
Your site loads too slow, get better hosting and more people will wait for the page to load to see your ads.
I think that you should definitely optimize adsense revenues. Try working with placing banners on different parts of the site and see what works. Try experimenting with links versus baner ads. what if you substitute the top banner google ad with a banner ad that contains 4 separate text ads?
Some decent CPA offers, combined with private ad sales (for private blog ad sales, I recommend http://www.oiopublisher.com) and reviews should do it, honestly what the bulk of that traffic coming from, search engines, social media, direct, more info really is needed for a better answer..
i think you need a combination of CPC, CPA, and CPM to take advantage of the traffic. A good mix without looking overloaded with advertising it easy and should maximize your income if done right. As said above too your website does load awfully slow, I would get better hosting so that the page pops up quicker which may save some traffic from bailing on you before the page fully loads.
add some amazon and ebay affiliate networks and your income could potentially triple on that exact day with little work (copying and pasting code), the max time it cna take you is 10 minutes.
