    It seems like your already monetizing it with most of the methods I know...

    Do you have any of your own products? like information products?

    People always ignore creating their own products, but I know from personal experience that this is what generates the most revenue - because its usually exclusive to you

    focus on building your list.

    Put a big optin box at the top of your page. put a little optin box at the end of every post reminding readers of the benefits of opting in.

    Visitors who find your site will probably never come back. You should capture their email address the moment you have a chance, build a relationship w/ them and capitalize on it.

    Looks like you already have a number of affiliate ads up as well as adsense. There are some other things you can do. If you are getting that many UV's you can sell blog posts to other marketers, you can sell advertising space on a monthly basis, and you can explore other options like Max Banner Ads, Adbrite, etc. Looks great so far, definitely highlight your opt in box, build that list then monetize the list!

    I am another one who thinks adding your own product to the mix is a good idea. You also do need to think about capturing leads for yourself, because then you can build a relationship with your target market - which will help when you come to promote your own product to them You have certainly put a lot of work into your blog, and it is obviously working in terms of traffic - but that traffic will be wasted if you let it slip back off your site again.

    Best wishes

    Your immediate priority should be capturing your visitors and building a list. Once your list is at a decent size ask them what they need/want the most. There are survey sites that can help you do this for free. After your list has given you feedback CREATE a product that is exactly what they are asking for. This way you are able to give them precisely what they want. Trust me, your list will be way more responsive when they asked for something specific and you deliver exactly that.

    Here's my opinion....but it's just an opinion. I think you're sort of on "banner overload" there. Less is more in my opinion....and yes build your list.

    Traffic + conversion = profits

    You got 1 part of the equation down. Others have said it too. Build a list, make a product and sell.
