I have a website with 60.000 uniques a day, what to do with it?

    Greetings,

    I am completely new at this topic, affiliates, clicks, etc. This forum has got a lot of buzz on blogs so I decided to join. Looks promising.

    The point is - I have a website with some 60,000 unique hits per day and rising. It is a web application of general purpose. All kinds of people use it. It is growing much faster than I expected.

    Please forgive me, I cannot tell you in public what it is. But I am sure some of you may have used it before and it helped you do a specific task - for free.

    Currently it has no way of earning at all. All this traffic goes away just like that. Pity, huh?

    My strategy was to avoid ads to make it clean and useful for some time, and to put some ads when the trafic becomes large. So I came here to ask:

    What should I put? Ad Sense, some affiliate banner, or what?

    I see you guys speak about things like Commission Junction or Azoogle. I have no idea what is it about.

    Also, can u tell me how much money can I expect from it. I may scare my users away when they see advertisements, so I would like to know what money is worth the risk.

    I hope this doesn't sound like a newbie "How to get rich" question. Just point me in the right direction and I will read about it.

    Thank you!

    Mickey

    Just curious. It is awesome that you have 60,000 unique hits/day for your site, but if you are getting that kind of traffic, why are you so hesitant on telling the "public" (in this case being digitalpoint) what it is?

    As far as wanting to start to gain revenue, If you want to remain ad-free in the sense of google ads and ypn, i'd go with more targeted banner advertisements and maybe find sponsors related to your site interest field.

    hrm interesting. kk. i was just curious. Seems like most people who get that kind of traffic are thinking the opposite way in terms of wanting to spread their site further. But I can sort of understand what you're saying fordsho, in terms of competition arising on this site, since it caters to webmasters. My misunderstanding. =]

    Good question. I live in a country which is quite unsafe, unlike many of you guys out there. Connecting me as a person with any larger amount of money is the last thing I want.

    I registered as Mickey Mouse, but still - things are not quite safe around here so I would not gamble. I hope you understand.

    From what I have read on Digital Point forums, it seems this traffic of mine is above average. It's good to know that :)

    The only thing is what to use for profit. Thank you for your opinions so far.

    Is it ok to put a banner for an iPod or some dating site...? I know this sounds amateurish to you guys but I am new at this field. Where to go for this affiliate programs? Is there a link which briefly explains what is Commission Junction and other stuff I see here.

    Thank you again.

    ukmp3, it's 60,000 impressions - that's the number of unique visitors per day according to Google Analytics.

    Best advice if you’re worried about your identity is to have a good read about the posts on this and other forums. You know better than anyone else who your target audience is so look at some of the affiliate centres such as Clickbank etc and see if you can identify any products that would benefit your visitors.

    There are millions of products that you could use to monetize your site with and a few hours research will give you enough tactics to keep you going for months.

    You could also set up a blog and link it to your website and ask your visitors what else they would like you to provide i.e. links to your recommended products or services

    You say 60,000 impressions and 60,000 uniques. So the visitors are only visiting one page each ? Can you tell the theme of your site. Is it a social network, gaming or what kind of application?

    Sounds to me like 60,000 page views/impressions - which still isnt bad.

    Like login says whats the theme of the site and what country are you in? (Russia by any chance?)

    If you are going to sell space then you are going to have to tell someone who your are - no one is going to pay you otherwise.

    I would be intersested in buying space depending on what country you are in (we are in the UK)

    Are you trying to keep their contacts?
    Build your listing and keep them update with your newsletters.
    They trust you and will buy from your recommendation.

    since you have many pageviews you can start with a CPM network. You can try with CPA networks or CJ, Shareasale but it depends on what niche are you in (and your audience) ... If you find campaigns that are related to your site's subject it could work. Also it is important to know from what countries are your visitors from...
