    Any suggestion as to how I could monetize my site: www.kewlr.com ?

    Its a social bookmarking site which get more than 100 visitors a day and 10-20 sign ups. I still working on adding features.

    I use google adsense which is fine but are there any other options?

    You could also add amazon or clickbank as an affiliate

    What ever you do dont over do it, thats what the biggest mistakes you can make. A new site prefferably should have minumal or no ads on it becuase its so new you'll want to make a good impression on your visitors so they tell someone else about the site and come back, or else they;ll leave and never come back if you annoy them with popups or inlines are just too much ads.

    Do more promotion.and then link building.If you have budget,buy some adword and start promoting.
    For monetize,you should change your template coz its not ctr optimized.Say no to adsense coz they pay way too low.I do suggest you use adbrite or canep media coz they pay lot better than adsense.

    I would go with as few of ads as possible. For social networking websites a CPM banner on top plus a few text links on the sidebar towards the bottom will do. Once your website becomes more established you can start really optimizing and taking a look at how to become more profitable. But for now you want the website as fast as possible without overloading any ads.

    like everyone else is saying, add some CPA or relevant affiliate links to your site. Clickbank which has been mentioned above is a good place to start as it has a number of digital products and ebooks which you could promote. Look around for other affiliate networks related to your website and promote similar products.

    You can reach into other ad services and even sell links or other ads. Referrals may help you, this can make you some big bucks depending on the service/product.
