How to monetise 500 uniques?

    So, I've had various sites over the years but I'm concentrating my efforts on ukgreyhoundracing.com I don't think there have ever been one amazing site for Greyhound Racing and I bought the domain a few years ago now with the intention of making one.

    I'm creating fresh content regularly and ranking quite well in Google but it seems very hard to pick up bookmaker accounts these days. I'm wondering if there are any other good ways to make money from a site like this or am I wasting my time? I'm getting around 500 unique visitors a day now (650 on Tuesday).

    Thanks for any advice.

    well 15,000 uniques a month is a good amount. i would suggest getting affiliates to advertise on your site directly. its like google adsense only your cutting out the middle man of google. ive found that once you have a really good amount of traffic dumping google and going to companies directly is the way to go.

    btw what theme are you using on that site?

    Thanks Willhouse I'll look into that then. I'm just convinced it can make money somehow!

    It's a studiopress theme called streamline.

    With that amount of traffic you can always use it to direct towards other sites you own as well. Or as Mabbs said, affil products(click bank etc...) CPA offers or adsense. Amazon products are always winners.

    do some keyword research and continue writing about greyhound racing. Make sure you put your keywords in your articles and put adsense ads in your articles.

    I would expect you could do quite well with this.

    This way you do not have to sell anything but can just focus on providing great information and get a good monthly income from adsense.

    Why not keep it simple, install adsense and make money that way?

    Uuummmm... think to your visitors.
    You need to offer what people want. They arrive to your site because they need "xxxx" (offer what they search from you). Affiliate programs are very easy to use.
