    I have a video site getting approx 3,000 and soon 4,000 uniques per day.. but i dont know how to make money from it.. bidvertiser is the worst ad program i have ever used in my life and the site is against google's TOS..

    Please give me some suggestions!

    Thanks,
    ~Joecool6101

    I've sent you both PM's but it is a full movie steaming site..

    it is against google's TOS to have adsense on it and YPN is for USA only

    My suggestion is to add a banner in your current ads section saying something like "your ad here". You could also try selling links in the B/S/T section here on DP.

    Thanks for your suggestions!

    I've tried to sell sitewide links few days ago but seems people dont care at all about the traffic they just want pagerank..if my site was getting 100 uniques/year but was PR6 id have tons of sales.. kind of sad really..

    How much do you think i should sell the links for?

    Everyone has their own way of doing things, but I'd start low. If you start getting lots of offers your first month, email your current advertisers and let them know the price is going up. If they don't want to pay the extra cost, give their spot to someone who will. If there aren't many people wanting you ad spots, sell them cheaper. In short, the higher the demand, the more you should charge. It's better to have 10 people paying $5 then to have 3 people paying $10.

    try some cpm networks , also look for related sponsors which would suit the traffic coming to ur site.
    approach some of them you will surely get some revenues, 3k/day is decent traffic.
