How to Monetize Image Hosting Site ?

It's really difficult to monetize image hosting websites , I receive about 200 visits with 1000 pageviews daily , but adsense is making for me maximum 1$ in a month and CTR is extremely low .

What is the best method to monetize this kind of sites

Thanks

 

First thing I would do is re-think where your ads are placed. If you can't make $1 a month with 200 uniques per day, there is something SERIOUSLY wrong. Play around with location, colors, etc.

 

Have you tried anything besides adsense? Do you have adequate text to get ads that your visitors might be interested in?

 

Probably direct sales would work best for something like that.

 

Maybe some affiliate offerings too as an additional revenue source. Good luck.

 

Why dont you try placing ads where people will "accidently" click?
$1 a month is to low

 

You can try selling links or banners or try a different publisher!

 

Firstly, I think you should try new placements/colours for your Adsense ads.

$1 a month with 200 uniques is a poor performance by any standard.

If that doesn't work, try Adbrite's full page ads.

I have a site with similar stats...it doesn't make a fortune, but gets around $10 a month from Adbrite.

 

Thanks guys for comments

 

Surely there must be ways you can optimise on the traffic - when someone follows a link to an image hosted with you, do you have adsense either at the top or bottom of that page?

 

Yes I have , but sill no clicks

 

Try using CPM programs or pop-ups which can annoy your visitors.

 

Better ad placement and cpm-ads.

 

try to optimize ad position throughout the page. maybe can get more intention and click.

 

Try adbrite. I also have image hosting website 105 page view with $0.05 adsense so far this month. Last month I got 108 pageview with $0.38 adsense

 

try harvesting emails and then sending out affiliate offers
