Hello all

Ok - first proper blogsite in the Gaming space.

Launched about a month ago.

Getting around 15,000 uniques a month already which is a nice result. Happy with that (mix of article mktg, backlinks, nice EMD)

Monetisation....hmm

In the last 10 days (5500 uniques)

1. A whole $6 from infolinks. Woot. Between 2% - 5% CTR

2. Two weeks running a clickbank guide. 120 clickthroughs, zero sales.(2.1% CTR, 0% Conversion)
Amazon product placement within posts (zero commission to date)

3. CPA (survey, fill in email) activity started 4 days ago. One conversion. 16 clickthroughs

Total monetisation - $8.

Phase 2 is to offer a 10 page game guide in return for email addresses to get a list built, then CPA the list

So - delighted with traffic - what am I doing wrong re: monetisation??

Help me Penelope Pitstop!

    Looks like CPA has had the greatest effect. Perhaps ramp it up and put it on prominent places on the site so that the click through rate is higher.

    Congratulations; that sounds like a really good amount of traffic! Did you consider using Adsense? Or will that clash with the other monetization methods?

    great job, drive some ad sense or banner ad to the site special offers and maybe even a few clickbank products.
