How to monetize a site with good traffic

I have this site, its in the car niche.

Anyway it is only 5 weeks old and is getting an average of 80 visits a day.

It is number 1 in google for a few keywords.

The problem is, is that I don't know how to monetize this traffic. I have EPN on it and adsense, but the adsense clicks aren't worth anything. I thought it would earn good EPN money, but its not. I just recently put adsense on it so I could get some money.

Any suggestions?

    what part of the car niche is it in? what are the keywords? if you would give a little more detail, it would be much easier to tel you how to monetize the site. but here's a couple ways:

    1. Clickbank products. There are tons such as converting your car to run on water/electricity. There's also ones that deal with auto auctions...just have a look around clickbank and you'll find a lot to work with.

    2. CPA offers for car financing. These usually pay out on the higher side. Typically around $8-12 per lead capture.

    3. Ebay car auctions. You can become an Ebay affiliate and show car auctions on Ebay.

    Again without knowing more about your site, it's hard to say what the best fit is, but hopefully this will get your mind's gears turning a bit.

    Tweak your adsense.. there is always room for improvement. Research "increasing CTR adsense" or increasing adsense earnings and such. It really makes a difference as far as placement and such.

    ClickBank has great products but you really need to get a real campaign going on.. not just something you slap up there and say "buy this product".

    I like the eBay idea.. if you have a ePN account already that utilize them because the cookies will pay off with all those people interested in car purchases that visit your site.

      I wasn't implying that he just slap a bunch of products up there and say buy them. Just was giving him some examples.

      Not just slap clickbank links saying "buy this product"- I knew not to do that too, but what other alternative ways are there to promote clickbank products on good traffic sites, that will convert well (get you good sales) WITHOUT simply saying "buy this product" ?

      ie- what do you mean get a good campaign going on? Can you give some examples...

      What other strategies are there to sell clickbank products - so they convert well

    Like I said EPN is on the site and its making nothing. I will try some clickbank stuff. Any good affiliates out there for car financing? Thats a good idea.

    Thanks for the advice so far. Any more ideas?
