New ways to monetize? - Webmaster Forums - Webmaster forum for HTML, PHP, ASP, CSS and more

Hello !

I’m looking into making some money out of the traffic of my websites
Anyone out there know of a good programme?
It shan’t be intrusive and earn as much as possible

Something new, perhaps some new technology, contextual – seems to be the new Nirvana

I am searching, obviously, but any help, recommendations and esteemed colleagues’ experiences always better

Cheers,
alice

No replies

everyone on vacation?

well, I'm still standing and my searches have been fructuous

I found something. I have registered and am waiting for approval.

The name of the web and company is adoptim
It's a network that offers different formats for monetizing like the "classic" intext ads, banners in videos and other search formats.

One thing that might interest many webmasters is the search page you can include in parked domain pages.
You don't even need content and you can earn some money.
I know I have a few of those... lack of time to write contents....

Once I'm approved, testing will begin and I will keep you informed -- it's nice to know there are alternatives...

do you lot traffic ?

You can start affiliate marketing. Just place the banner and enjoy commission. I am driving my traffic to Referforex and earning $800-1000 a month. That too without investment.

Affiliate marketing works well if you have traffic.

Yes placing affiliate products on your site is a good way to earn some money. Especially if you have a decent amount of traffic.

Back to give some updates on what I've done with Adoptim., whatever is worth sharing...

I started out with banners .

Once that is conclusive, I will test the intext ad and invideo ad by Adoptim.
That's what I'm really after

I managed 1 sale in just a couple of weeks from 2509 impressions and 356 clicks and 2 leads.

I earned 54$, I am now waiting to get my first payment as it's a min of 50$ they pay twice a month

Seems decent, no?

So this in mind, next week I should get paid and continue testing with all the other tools

It's a beginning, I guess we have to wait a bit to earn more.

Next update soon

I do think that affiliate programs are the best bet to monetize. Certainly make more than serving ads in most cases.

Just a thought on choosing a program: I'd say that unless you have absolutely monster traffic and are likely to get heaps of sales, it's best to go for a program that gives you nice big commissions. Then you only have to get one or two to reach your payout threshold.

Also, the fact that the business running the program is willing to give you a big percentage is often (not always!) a good sign. It means that the product is a good seller, and they're making good money from it. So, if you keep at it, it shouldn't be too difficult to make a sale.
