How do I earn money on my website with advertising?

December 18th, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

I run a website which gets several million hits per month. It was recently feautured on 60 minuts, and is often in the media, so we have a high volume of visitors. I currently use google adsense, which picks what ads show up, and most often, thery’re no very related to what people would visit the site for. That being siad, google is only earning me about $10 a day, when I’m told I could be making hundreds or even thousands give the amount of trafic. How to I go about putting ads on my site that I choose, and maximize how much money I can get?
For your information, I run www.donorsiblingregistry.com, which was just this past weekend featured on 60 minutes (15.23 million viewers). I am an expert at the material of the webstie, but am far from an expert at the techincal aspect of the site, thats why I’m asking for advice from someone who really knows ads.

I took a look at your website and I can understand why Google Adsense is not working for you. The types of visitors you attract is not in the mood to buy anything, they are not using your site as a mere jump-off point — your site is THE destination. Hence, the visitors are not interested in clicking on your ads. Sites like yours do poorly with Adsense. You may want to read the article "Contextual Advertising: Why Are You Earning Only Pennies?" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/022006/adsense.htm which I think perfectly captures your predicament.

A CPM campaign would work better for you given the type of website you have and the traffic you get. I suggest you read the article "How to Generate Advertising Revenues for Your Web Site" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol28/adrevenues.htm – you can join banner ad networks and select the campaigns offered for CPM (though some does not allow you to select the campaigns). Here are some of the banner ad networks:

BurstMedia http://www.burstmedia.com
Fastclick http://www.fastclick.com
Tribal Fusion http://www.tribalfusion.com
Advertising.com http://www.advertising.com

    Why dont you go to other affiliate sites, like Commission Junction, so you can be choosier about what types of Ads you use on your sites?? (i’m confused about how you created this super-popular website, but you’re asking for this very simple advice on yahoo)

    considering your spelling errors and your lack of mention of the website ( which I could find no reference at 60 minutes’ website, I doubt you have a huge millions of hits per month website, as if you did you would KNOW what to do to get the max amount of money from it.

    Here is the deal…you need to find sites in related areas similar to what you are doing. Perhaps a Private Detective type site, people finder,etc. You could offer to put links to their site on your home page or even put up a page that has all types of links. You are in a good position because your Google PR is a 5 which is strong. Another place to show people your traffic is alexa.com It shows your recent spike in traffic but also shows your low volume overall…pros and cons. Hope that gets you on the path!
