    I had a gossip site that had about the same visitors / earnings. Guess its not a very lucrative niche. Maybe you should sell banners / links instead (i guess your using adsense on your site)

    I'm not using Adsense I'm using CPX Interactive & CPMStar. CPA or affiliates will earn me $0 cause I have a low conversion rate

    Try and negotiate directly with an advertiser?

    Pay TV provider may be interested in something like that.

    If ur getting 4k+ uniques a day, get some banners from a bunch of different companies who offer CPM. You could earn some good money from that.

    of course you should get more than $100.. Maybe you can try to sell more link in your blog, it's very good income I think... :)

    Anime niche is low paying. Even on Adsense, I wasn't earning more than $150/month from my anime blogs with 3K uv/day

    Yep definitely should be at least double that, even though anime isn't a heavy hitter niche.

    Sell a few sitewide links and 125x125 banner slots and you will earn more than that from a 120k+ unique monthly traffic site.

    Research has shown that anime isn't the best paying niche, so I guess you're doing okay. Although in my opinion you should be earning more from adsense.

    Broaden your horizons and look at other advertising options, direct advertising for example.
