Hi guys, thanks for your interest. I'm a site owner, no, exactly, I should say i'm a forum's owner. I opened a forum back 2 months ago totally for free, using the forummotion help, so the name of the domain is quite hard to remember. However, I'm doing some kind of free product and i'm quite famous within my targeted market. My page views after a month (I put in a hitcounter last month, not 2 months ago) month of opening is now over 50.000 with around 60% from the us, 20% from EU, Canada and 20% from the rest of the world. (visitor from America counts for 15.000 IP) I did say that I offer free product, and that kind of product attracts my targeted market strongly. It's not porn or anything like that, It's a kind of graphic, picture book, you can say that. At first, when I was thinking that "i'm doing this for the community" thingy, so I let them download for free using Mediafire. I got about 1000-2000 downloads for one product (the best one has nearly 3000 downloads). Two weeks ago, I got to know that I could make money if I upload my files and the clients download on site like megaupload (to take points) and depositfiles...I've made 3000 points with Megaupload and around $20 with Depositfiles in two weeks. Still, I'm looking for something better due to the problem: _ Depositfiles pays well, but the Tariff Exclusive which targets US and EU's countries lasts only one months and will be canceled if I can't make 200 unique download a day. I've had around 900 unique downloads now, so mostly, I can't make it to the "200 uniques downloads a day" rule and will be reduce to the Flexible tariff which doesn't pay well . The problem is not with my file. The problem lies in the Depositfiles system itself, many of my clients and staff complained that they couldn't download the damn file due to "This country's download traffic has reached its limit, please resume later" thingy so they switch to the "megaupload" link. (I upload my files to both Mega and Deposit) _ I've been trying to search for a better online hosting server, but + Hotfile and sonicfile...10-60 mins waiting time for a second download is not good for my clients., I have one product every 2 days and they may need to download both, and I don't want them to wait 10 mins to download a second file. A file of mine is 10-120 mb btw. + Some provides good service but their pay is not as good. Moreover, Accoding to depositfiles: the download is 32% from the US, 28% from the EU, Canada..., and 40% from the rest of the world. Many file hosting sites doesn't count the 40% and that is no good for me. That's my current situation, and I would like to ask for advice: 1. Can you recommend a fitting file hosting site for me? 2. I just knew about Adsense two weeks ago (at the same time when I knew about depositfiles..), I applied and then got rejected to the reason: "your site is being under-construction, we will be more than happy to review it again when you've finished it". Actually, my site is quite complete. It's just the guests can't see the hidden forum and sub-forum opened to only qualified members (have many posts) and my site's staff. Anyways, my site still attract thousands of people everyday (and still increasing) and the hit counter still counts. I can see that it could be a very good source of income for me, so I want to have at least some ads on my site. Still, after having been rejected, it takes too much trouble for me to go and explain to them google, and who knows they may reject it once again?. So can you give an advice for me? or recommend another good adsense-like? 3. Are there other ways for me to increase my income with my site? Thank you very much for your interest in such a boring post of a newb, and i'm sorry for my bad English since i'm not a native English speaker, I hope I didn't confuse anyone here. It's my first post ever in Digital too Cheers,
wow.. You do get good traffic to your site. I do not an answer for question 3 as I'm not sure how your site actually operates but I can offer some info for Question 1 and 2. 1. Have you consider Amazon S3 for file hosting (needs to pay though). 2. For adsense alternative, you can try Adbrite (especially if you are outside USA), kontera and chitica.
