Hi Everyone~! I have just completed a membership-based website and am undecided as to whether or not to monetize the site using Google Adsense (or an alternative such as Adbrite). Would anyone mind reviewing my website and offering me some feedback on this important decision. Also if you can offer any advice as to the size of ads for this particular site or frequency of placement (if in fact monetizing is the way to go), I would be grateful...I have spent days locked in indecision. http://www.antivirusbible.com Cheers!
I would for sure monetize it. Simply don't display adsense to loggued in users, so it is one more advantage of your membership. But display adsense to simple visitors! If your daily traffic is significant, then adsense will pay a healthy CPM (RPM) for this topic of antiviruses. As for size and placement, it's easy, only use the biggest sizes for adsense blocks, and put them where you'd like to have your own ads if your site wasn't yours.
Thanks very much James, I sincerely appreciate the advice. I'll look over placement areas and start implementing immediately. Best Regards
I agree with JamesColin. A great decision to monetize for simple everyday visitors. Good luck on your earnings!
