    Hi all,

    Since I suppose that visitors of my hardware related website are techy ( technology advanced users), I suppose AdSense would have low CTR and therefore low earnings although since techy are adsense blind.

    So far I'm running Amazon ads and it seems that I'm having some nice results - look like 5$ to 10$ for 1000 visitors.

    Other ideas for monetarizing are :
    1. Chitika eMinimals
    2. Adbrite
    3. Text-link-ads

    What else you think I should consider for hardware related website?

    Have you looked at affiliate networks like Commission Junction or Linkshare? Both have hardware-related merchants.

    I took a look into CJ.com and Linkshare. I don't like their complicated procedure. You should ask each merchant for allowing your website. Commission HP has with CJ.com is 1% what is funny. And there is no contentual ads so for each particular product you must browse product database.
