How to monetize Single game website?

    I have website about mini arcade/strategy game that not released yet and nobody knows when this game will be out. For example: very popular game Super mario. I have website about Super mario 2. about 3000-5000 visitors every day visits my site and looking for that game.

    So how to monetize? Adsense pays avarage 3cent/click. I tried promote MMORPGs - only few $/day. Tried some clickbank products about computer games. No results!

    What your suggestions?

    If you have a good PR for that site you can use link brokers like text-link-ads

    What about something like CPALead? Could you A/B test it to see if it would scare away a majority of users or not? Just a thought - CPALead tends to pay very well if it works for you.

    Have you worked with any affiliate networks?

    Curious, what MMORPG did you promote? What countries do you have traffic within? I am sure many of the professionals would be happy to help you monetize your site - including myself :)

    Cheers,
    Mike

    Amazon affiliate could help you, also try to find some affiliate sites that offer game guides, build a list so you could send them relevant products and offer and also make them visit your site again.

    My traffic last 30 days:

    Philippines - 18.14%
    United States - 12.67%
    Mexico - 5.58%
    Russia - 5.25%
    Thailand - 4.69%
    Vietnam - 4.51%
    Indonesia - 4.19%
    Malaysia - 3.88%
    Brazil - 3.31%
    Germany - 2.56%

    90% new visitors, 10% returning
    1.77 Pages/Visit
    00:01:38 - Avg. Time on Site

    This is worpdress blog.

    I think traffic for CPAlead is not good. (tried month ago)
    Amazon with 4% is worst program for sites like this.
    Now i promote mmotraffic.com games.

    Is there some WP plugin that works like aweber, so I can collect emails and then send from WP? I dont want subscribe for aweber just for try an this site.

    I think problem is that visitors looking for that specific game.

    So any ideas?

    i would recommend to have a go with click bank.. grab couple of products your want to advertise and if you make a sell you get it think about 75percent commission ..
    OR
    sell games on your site, since your site is for games you should get heaps and heaps of costumers..
    games you could sell could be over 100$ too 200$.. depending on the game value..
    sell play station games, xbox wii etc..
    you could get these games for a retailer warehouses for cheap.. in a few bucks;)
    find other big ad companies with big commission's and affiliate with them..
    regards

    I know there are free software that do the same as aweber , but i really like aweber, i dont remember the free ones name. but you could search it on google,
    By the other way there is a plugin to send your post to your subscribers without any effort.

    adding rich keywords to your site will help you.

    but gaming niche has no big bucks. :(

    I have a game website that I use videoegg for, now say media: http://saymedia.com/

    I don't know how hard it is to get it, I believe it's only for US traffic though, but I get about $2.50 eCPM from them for my game site. Hope this helps

    If anyone requires help getting campaigns up and running with Videoegg aka Say Media let me know. I can most likely help.

    Yep, you are right mostly USA. I have run some Canada campaigns as well.

    Curious, what is your gaming site? $2.50 eCPM is pretty good engagement.
