Best way to monetize from a Google News approved site

11 replies
Hi,
My site recently became Google News approved and I am receiving a farily good amt of traffic...

What are the best ways to monetize from this? Adsense is incredibly low.. not working at all.. and I tried placing some link ads for some affiliate sites.. but still nothing (3 days test.. maybe i need more time?).

Any ideas?

Thank you!

    Welcome to the forum and congratulation in having a Google news site, you are (most likely) onto a major earner with it.

    3 days is not enough of a test for anything. Congrats on getting your site approved. How long did it take for them to approve you?

    About 48 hours since the time I applied, a bunch of emails back and forth, and the time my content was being indexed.

    This is my 2nd approved site, I am sure I can do it X amount of times, I just need to be able to take advantage of the traffic I am receiving!

    Thank you all for the comments.

      Oh man ... I'm bummed. I've been pouring my heart and many hours into a site and submitted it around the 5th of Oct and still no word. Can I pm you with the link and see if you can see anything wrong with it?

    It only took you 48 hours to hear back from them? I applied over a week ago for site we're doing for a client and have heard nothing back yet. Also could you pm a link to your site so I can check it out? Congrats on getting accepted so quickly.

    Fullgroot, do you have any experience with this? for example, should I use link or banners? on each news post, or site wide?

    Thanks for the help.

    Sbucciarel: pm me your site I'll give you my feedback.

    I want to point out, that my domain was an aged domain (I registered it about 2 years ago for some other project)... also the site is not like "myblog.com" it is something "news"-ish ... maybe that helps..

      Mine is a tech site and it's not a myblog kind of site either. Domain is almost a year old, so it's not brand new. Content is unique and I checked their technical requirements and the site seems to comply with those. I've given the contact info for myself and the other writers. I pm'd you.
