    Hey Guys

    My second tube site has been running for about 4 months or so. My first was more of a "figure it out" situation where I didn't really do much marketing or advertising. Once I got the hang of it I closed the site and opened up a second site which is devoted to a nice fetish. Now I'm looking for affiliates or ways to monetize the site.

    It's not that big because of the niche, and I suppose it never will be all that big. But I thought I'd see how my stats are looking to some of the pros around here. Maybe there is a silver lining somewhere.

    Last 30 days:

    Visits: 58,000
    Pageviews: 475,000
    Pages/Visit: 8+
    Bounce Rate: 19+%
    Avg. Time on Site: 7+ minutes
    % New Visits: 45+

    I'm using affiliate marketing. So far Cams.com has been the best, but it seems to have fizzled out as of late. I also have AFF PPC which pays less than a dollar a day. Mostly I've signed up with these because they were the only ones I knew about. I also have affiliate relationships with pay sites who have the same fetish. So far earnings have been about $500 over the past few months, just enough to mostly pay for the server charges. I'll be checking through the forums here to get some fresh ideas.

    So....how do the numbers look so far? Any tips on taking things to the next level? My server is getting stretched a bit so over the next few months I'll have to decide if I want to invest more or just sell it off. I have a few ideas like a sales component that I'm working on. I'm also not using the rolling video ad yet but I figure I could get a sponsor there, but then again it depends on the traffic and pageviews I suppose, and I'm not sure how my numbers stack up. In all reality I'll have to ditch the niche affiliates since most people who come to my site already know about the other sites.

    I tried Black Label Ads but the ads wouldn't show....just a black box with "advertise here"....finally gave up and moved on... It would seem that my site doesn't really get enough traffic for CPA ads anyway, correct?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    That's 58,000 visits a month....all of the stats are monthly. I'm paying about $70 a month for my server. I use close to a terabyte in bandwidth a month...
