    Hey,

    I have an auto getting about 5000 uniques a month (which is good for me)
    so far im getting about $2 a day through adsense.

    80% of visitors are from USA
    15% from Australia
    5% other

    Most visitors would be male aged between 17-26 years old.

    what do you think I should promote?
    does anybody know of a program where i can sell nissan parts or performance parts like turbos, intercoolers etc.


    thanks

    you should try some CPA promotion targetted at your audience there are plenty of them out there, free ipods, free maxim or stuff, ringtones etc.. i bet it would perform well.

    hey there druzilla I am in the same boat with you I run an auto informative website and outside of adsense there are no other ads. I picked a niche I liked and it is hard to monetize. Outside of adsense which is not doing me any good I dont know what do. I have looked at affiliate programs but what do you market that is the problem I am having. Maybe we can be auto buddies.

    these sound like good ideas. I have a fairly new site that isnt established yet would you recommend such switching from auto news to auto insurance and loans. The keywords word for this market are highly competive I thought about that when starting the site but now that trying to monetize with barely no traffic is hard.

    one CPA that may do good is the survey to win a Mustang GT (maxbounty) the other was a nascar vs indy car survey that they got a giftcard for completeing.

    Thanks for the push. I hope the 3 yahoo datacenters that slurp content everyday pay off for the switch.

    the only problem i can see with the auto insurance is.
    the car my site is about is very rare in the US. (Nissan Skyline's)

    should i still promote auto insuarance from USA companies?

    Or should I promote Australian auto insuance companies even tho i have less visitors from Australia. The conversion may be higher.


    I think promoting stuff like this would go well as they can be distributed worldwide:
    radar trackers
    in car entertainment (tv/dvd systems, speakers etc)
    Foot pedels, steering wheels, gear knobs, racing seats etc i think would go well.
    Mag wheels
    All performance parts for nissans
    etc.

    any more ideas?


    thanks for the offer iceposter, i will have a look at it

    thanks

    Drew

    Try adding more pages with topics that may interest your visitors. The you can try adsense & affiliate programs on those new pages & see if you can get better results.

    There are several very active Nissan forums such as nicoclub.com you may want to use for exposure.

    druz I saw your nissan site and I liked it. I am a car guy like you and to be honest I wouldnt be buy anything or click any insurance of your site. Your site has good content honestly I wouldnt want to leave. I loaded my site and saw my ads I was like these are garbage ads.

    Now if you could craft your content into a way it could lead to an affiliate link that might work. I would try to target affiliate that offered accesories.
    Example write a new article about the latest inner cooler offerings and suggest places where your readers can pickem up.

    I feel like you are the same boat I am in you picked a niche you like but now are finding the money is not there for the small guy.

    There are quite a few skylines in Australia, mostly older (early to mid 90's) though.
