Hello Everyone, I am the owner of www.thehoverhand.com, and I need advice. I am having a hard time trying to think of ways to monetize the site. I would use adsense but I was banned about 6 years ago from them. What would you all suggest I do?
Try your luck with affiliate programs. There are lots of them like Amazon Associates, Clickbank and Commission Junction.
I think there are many ways to get adsense account via some tricks.I have seen people with more than one account.Regards
Nice site! Before rushing into a monetization scheme - what's the daily unique traffic and what are the main referring sites and search terms? As an alternative to adsense you can use AdBrite or Digital Point ads
monetization must not primary target for now. its a new site. if you are successful to bring big traffic to your site. site will start earn itself. click bank , clicksor are better idea than ad sense but, for now its the number of visitors that matters most and so site needs a hardcore SEO program where you check what are keywords that are most popular, working according to them , building links and optimizing content etc. btw, as I can see site is based on word press i would suggest you using wp-pagenavi plug in which will create older pages navigation e.g. 1 ,2 ,3 instead of "older entries" only . that's better in terms of SEO too
Thanks Everyone! I will try some of that out. By the way, my site gets around 160,000 page views a month
