I have a mobile content dedicated website (games, software, themes, etc) with a lot of Asian traffic (10 000 unique visitors per day) - India, Phillippines, Malasia, Indonesia, other. Could you give me a piece of advice on how to monetize the traffic with contextual ads? Which ad providor should I turn to, to get paid for clicks on contextual ads and banner impressions? What are alternatives except AdSense for this sort of traffic? Who is the best? Thank you!
For Asian traffic I would recommend using AdBrite and Snoork Ads. AdBrite will pay you both for pay per click and for impressions, with AdBrite you will get around 3 cents per click and around 7 cents for impressions. Snoork Ads will only pay you for impressions, you will get around 15 cents for impressions. Also you can try BidVertiser for pay per click, their rates are pretty good if you manually approve the ads.
Don’t doubt to take look at SmartPPC EVO (http://www.smartppcevo.com/) (ad serving software) which is a great tool to monetize your Asian traffic. It has a special targeting options to display ads only for users from certain countries. It gives an opportunity to advertisers of your network to display text, image and flash ads. The advertisers can register in this system, and you may control them through Administrator Control Panel. You can create your own prices for advertising on your sites. SmartPPC EVO lets you to combine several ad sources on your sites: get your own advertisers registered, display ads from Google, YPN and others, additionally, ads from XML feeds like Miva, Looksmart and others.
There doesn't seem to be many options for Asian traffic. i would recommend adsense over adbrite though.
are you able to implement an xml feed and rotate through a list of keywords that you choose which are relevant / semi-relevant to your content - if so i may can help
You can also try some relationship(dating) related affiliate program for your Asian dominated traffic.
AdBrite has a pretty nice ads, I personally like most of their ads, thought some of the ads are not so nice. Click through rate if determined how many people click on your ads, so I can't really tell you what your click through rate will be.
i've used adsense, it's good but you won't earn much:\ i can advice you smartppc evo, it's a good alternative to adsense. Google pays only the percent of the ful amount, like feeds do. I'm earning money from my own advertisres and xml feeds, so for the last three months i've increase my revenue and monetize my traffic))
If you already have so much traffic why don't you try some of the survey offers that pay you between $2 - $12. Currently there are tons of companies trying to enter south asia but they need to find out viability of their products before selling. For this need to do surveys before they launch.
If you have traffic from Japan, Hong Kong , Singapore or Taiwan DTI Cash can convert it and they have PPC programs also
for such country I have very good experience with eDomz.com and mostly earn more than $3 for traffic from those countries, and they have very good review.
I'm also looking into monetizing the app. Any recommendations? ... Any better than rockyou that can give me high cpm for asian traffic?
i am into toolbars to be honest; tried conduit-was ok for a certain period, then i had some technical issues often and decided to ditch it; i am now using clubfinity-looks good....for now, of course
