Tutoring site - after banned from Adsense

My tutoring site just got banned from Adsense, what affiliate programs would you recommend?

 

What reason did you get banned? Most ad companies have similar policies, so you'd need to carefully read the TOS. From your location, it appears you are in USA, so have you tried YPN?

 

you could try clickbank

 

I personally don't like adsense as a primary means to monetize websites. The ads junk up sites that use them and I think that most people are undercutting themselves by not taking matters into their own hands and finding good, niche related products to sell themselves.

For most people, just making a couple sales a month will easily cover the pennies that google gives you for the real estate you reserve on your site.

BTW, I had something similar happen to me a couple years ago (the site was banned but my adsense account was not). I moved away from adsense and into affiliate products and haven't looked back since.

 

How much traffic do you get daily? I have seen a rise on eBay in selling adspace to people marketing their own affiliate programs. One site that I went to charged $12 a month for link ads i.e. text only, and $2 per 1000 impressions for banner ads. I think their traffic was around 150k to 200k per day. So $2 won't last long. Based on that figure if you filled up 24 hours with banner ads at that rate and this is just for one banner location. There are multiple pages on your site so do the math. Wow!? I hadn't done the math myself. That is $16 an hour all day long off of one advertisement. Imagine if your site averaged half of that amount across a 50 page site. That is super sick. That is like 10k a day. Another place I saw charge $3 per month for unlimited impressions. Signup a couple 100 people and that is some nice extra cash. Wow. I really never thought about how much that site was making. That is sick.

Try to search for professional web design companies that have affiliate program, this could be one good way to start with...and next you could try some of other ad networks. But i would still try and concentrate on going directly through a professional web design company with affiliate program, unless you start also to offer web design or coding services as well.

 

I am open to any ideas i just need to keep the site going, not trying to get rich off of it, it helps a few people

 

Post your traffic stats and I'll see what I can do to help. How much money do you need per month to keep this operation afloat?

Let me know. You can PM me if you need to. Thanks.

Check out this site. http://www.classof1.com/affiliate_program/affiliate_program.html. Maybe you can get some signups based on your target audience. Also look into affiliate programs for schools like University of Phoenix, Kaplan, etc. Just google online degree and I'm sure you could dig up a bunch of these. Use Amazon and/or Barnes and Noble's affiliate program and place products that could be relevant to whatever demographic you are displaying a page for such as math, science, english, etc. For example you could display Amazon deals on Scientific calculators for the math section or display popular "must read" books for the english folks such as Edgar Allen Poe, Ernest Hemingway, etc.

 

I'll give it a try but really if ya'll can come up with any ideas that you think will convert on either www.mychemistrytutor.com or www.mychemsitrytutor.com/forums

i am all ears

 

An amazon affiliate account linking people to AP preparatory materials could bring in a nice little chunk for you. A lot of people are worried about passing their chemistry exams.
