Need advice on monetizing a blog using CPA Offers

eklipz316 · 07-24-2011, 09:22 PM

Hello,

I run a tech/science news website and I can top over 1,000 per day if I write about 10 articles as I have a large following on Twitter. I was doing good using Adsense but I was banned last month for alleged "invalid click activity". I have been searching ever sense for a viable alternative but no luck. I was looking around today and decided to try some CPA offers on the site. I am already approved for peerfly and they have some great simple email submit offers that appeal to my niche, free iphone for example.

You can checkout the website at www.frontsidebus.net

As you can see, I have already added a few banners on the website that link to my CPA offers but I was wondering if anyone had any tips for this type of monetizing for a news website.

Any and all help is appreciated.

The web site looks great and you should make more with CPA compared to Adsense.

Not sure. Just put these ads up earlier today. I'm gana try to hit 10 articles per day for the next few days and see how it goes. Also, if you want to secure a few back links, let me know as I always welcome guest articles.

Good work on the site, it's looking great. Good idea on switching to CPA, you should see a lot more success and revenue than you did with adsense.

My advice would be to start capturing peoples emails now so you have a continually growing list of subscribers you can start promoting to. As your site is a tech news website any promotion needs to be fairly subtle, maybe articles about an exclusive offer you've negotiated for your readers, try adding a review about a hot new tech item (that has a cpa offer) and include a link at the bottom of your article.

What other methods of promotion are you using on your site at the moment besides the banners??

How would you recommend capturing emails? I like your idea about writing reviews and adding an offer at the bottom but its not easy to get a hold of hot ticket items in the introductory. You have to be a pretty large website in order to qualify for review units and purchasing items for reviews is out of the question because of the steep pricing.

I'm also using Kontera for in-text advertising.

Hi HP,

Even I have lots of e-books written by me on healthcare, could you please let me know best ways of promoting my e-books?

Thanks,
