    hi,

    i have an entertainment site: dailyfun.us and i was wondering what would be the best way to monetize my traffic?

    i'm currently using cpx interactive and technorati media, but the results are awful! no more then 1$/day from both of them!

    adsense banned me so they're out of the question!

    any hints would be great!

    no offence, but your niche is dead. the visitors come will not buy anything nor click anything. your site is a prank site, not an entertainment site. you should do some research first before make any website if you intend to monetize it, like keyword reserach, seo competition, etc

    You could try CPA Content Gateway network or sell direct advertising.

    Hi Steff,
    Just taken a look at your site and your stats - looks like you are getting a good number of visitors.
    If I had your site I would do 2 things:
    1. Try to get more data about demographics of my visitors = age, sex, location etc
    2. Buy or create something of real value your visitors want - and use that as a hook to get them to opt in to your 'list'

    Demographics will help you understand what your visitors want and enable you to sell advertising space to people with relevant offers
    It will also help you focus on providing your visitors with more value.
    As you build your list you can make $ sending them offers - or rent it out to others for $ or % of profits
