    Hi,
    I was checking monthly stats of a press release site of mine, and it's about 73000? Other than putting adsense, how else can I make some money with it?
    It already has a paid directory, and registered members can submit their press releases (free now, but can make it paid)
    Any ideas?
    Thanks :)

    What about offering a fee based option that has some additional perks or benefits.

    You can make a featured press release that is pinned at main page for certain period of time at some fee such as $50/month

    seconded. Or offer a 'guaranteed' distribution for cash.

    you can enter the TLA (text-link-brokers) network. So it will bring you about 200-300 USD per month

    I would also go with the 'featured releases' idea... keep some free options, but without anchor links or images, featured has links, images and hoepage inclusion...

    What's the URL? (PM me) I may add releases to it, as we submit quite a lot of decent PRs sometimes! ;-)

    You can consider starting a referral program. A referral program in your paid directory will also help you get more sales.

    Hi,
    Thanks to all! :) There's already a free "submit your release" section in website, but very very few releases get submitted from there. Most of releases are from self added, xml feeds, and similar sources.
    BTW, just checked stats, and it's over 81000 so far. (till 15 april since 1 april)
    Text link brokers is a good idea. The release pages get pushed back as new releases are added, so PR will change dramatically. Can I still get text link brokers to buy links on my site?

    Thanks :)
