I own an arcade site that gets over 4 mil pageviews a month looking for other ways to monetize

10 replies
Hey guys, first post on this forum. I have an arcade site (actually more than arcade as it has videos etc. and getting more content) that gets 50k uniques a month along with around 4 mil pageviews a month. I also have a facebook fan page with over 1.4 mil fans attached to the site (authenticated by facebook) I currently use adbrite (works better than adsense believe it or not with me) as well as ringtone affiliates. I need some inside or outside the box thinking interms of monetizing it better. Any thoughts, ideas and comments would be great. Thanks in advance.

    Having ads on your website can actually bring in a lot of cash, but if you want something new, how about having a private member's area and charging a registration fee for those private members? These private members will get exclusive stuff. Just a thought.

    Do you have any sort of demographic information about your traffic?

    If not, do you think you would have any success obtaining such information via a survey?

    Thanks Kendrickyi, we are working on something close to this but feel we need more content for the site at this point. Thanks for the comments!

    I recommend you signup at Mochi Publisher Center – Mochi Media :: Fueling Creativity
    You can put their games on your site, of which you get paid a certain amount for every view of that game.
    Check it out for more details.

    Also, when I used to own an arcade site there was something.. I can't remember if it was a plugin or just some arcade software that actually inserts adsense (or adbrite) ads before each game is loaded. So, in the slot that the game will be played, before it's played, an ad would load for like 10 or so seconds.

    Might want to look into it.

    Also, again, for traffic exchange I'd look into signing up at newgrounds.com. And joining their 'network'. You send them traffic, the more yo usend the higher you get ranked, the higher you get ranked the more visability you receive on that site. Pretty good, targetted traffic.

      Thanks Aiden, I do use mochi as well. Great thought about the plugin as that would be a great addition. Please let me know if you remember where that was from.

    Well, it depends a lot on what kind of traffic you are getting. Analyse your traffic data and figure out what demographic you are ultimately targeting the most. Find out what this demographic will be interested in and you offer that on your site.

    CPA. With that kind of traffic and probably a younger demographic, you might be sitting on a CPA goldmine. Test a bunch of different "quick hit" zip or email submits that pay around $1.00 a pop. I bet you'd score big. Try Neverblue, XY7, MaxBounty.
