    I would put up some adsense. You can also visit clickbank.com and search entertainment and sell some of the products on your website.

    Also looking into offering advertising spots your website to other companies. People will pay good money to market on websites.

    Depends on what kind of entertainment it is. Maybe some affiliate programs could work.

    I wouldn't advise selling clickbank products on an entertainment website.

    @OP what are you doing for money now? Look at your competitors and see what they are doing.

    Selling a couple of text links or banner ad slots might be a good idea. I read on another forum somewhere about a guy who had LOADS of uniques per day and wasn't monetizing the site. He then offered 10 text links to his footer and ended selling them all very quickly for $500 per month. It was alot of traffic he got though.

    Wow dude, you are sitting on a gold mine :D

    As the other posters said, CPA offer would work very good there. Those are sites that pay like $5 per e-mail submited (good for entertainment sites since a lot of people from those places aren't ready to buy anything yet).

    Thanks for all the answers and information.

    Here is more information.
    Currently we run a couple of CPM offers but lost our biggest ADSDAQ due to some links to some rapidshare movies and tv shows :(

    Some stats:
    Pretty consistent Traffic 23,000 - 28,000 uniques a day and a TON of pageviews....
    firefox on 53% of visits
    26% direct
    66% searchengines
    0 paid traffic

    traffic is worldwide....
    20% usa
    16% UK
    8% Germany
    etc

    Adsense would not be allowed on our site :(
    I will look for more cpm offers ... thanks for the tip
    We have not tested CPA offers .. Any more advice on these?
    Thanks again....

    Is it a site or a forum? Try Adbrite CPM campaigns..they're paying well.

    WOW, I wish I had 25k uniques per day! I would probably place an optin form on a very visible place on my site and then some adsense ads.

    You are getting 25 K a day, it is nice. Try CPM ads. I have used adsdaq.com which is the wonderful program.

    Hey, if you can specify exactly what type of entertainment i can help you better. Basically, with 25k a day the best way to monetize will be to use some sort of an affiliate program and to avoid using AdSense or ClickBank, i see no connection between click bank and the entertainment niche. Further more AdSense is a dying program. Your best choice will be to sign up to CJ.com or LinkShare.com and see if there are related affiliate programs. If you can specify your specific entertainment niche perhaps i can direct you to some entertainment affiliate programs i know.

    Yes adsdaq is great, we used them for awhile ... "Currently we run a couple of CPM offers but lost our biggest ADSDAQ due to some links to some rapidshare movies and tv shows "
