    IMO Adsense and Amazon Aff links...

    That might be most efficient for right now.

        How about a game themed cpa offer. Check out offervault to search for one.

          I've actually tried some CPA offers but not had much luck.

            With CTR or conversion?

            Try getting advertisers (depending on your numbers), here are some ideas

    I would add adsense as general advertisement on your site as a first.

    Why not try a competition? Free to enter as long as they participate in a specific survey (pretend its for research) - Say 100 people do the survey @ $1.50 per survey. Thats $150 for you.. and give away a game related prize?

      Hi,

      Have you tried contacting the game creators and sell them featured spots on your website? I'm sure many creators would be willing to pay a good amount of money to be featured on a popular gaming site like yours. John Chow runs a similar operation on his tech blogs.

        This is something that i've been thinking a lot about. However one of the problems is that I don't have a big list of developers I can contact.

        I've thought about ways to get in touch with them but I can't really find out a great place for them. I've already created posts about my blog on the facebook developer forum.

      This is something i've been thinking about.

      I already run a competition for readers to win free facebook credits.

      However i'm not up to speed on content lockers.

    Here is a thought: Why not actually build something useful on that domain? Facebook app? Actual real content website? Gaming related community?

      There is something useful. The content is all 100% unique, written by me personally and introduces users to new facebook games.

        I know, I'm saying that instead of what you have, build something truly useful, something that won't be such a small site that you have now.

    I would definitely go with Adsense right away. Then look into some CPA offers. Try making couple polls getting to know your viewers a bit more maybe asking them to email you any suggestions they have for the site could possibly be useful as well.

      You could try looking on Clickbank, they usually have quite a few guides for different Facebook games. I know they used to have guides for Farmville and Mafia Boss.

        A lot of the game have extra features /bonuses that you buy coins/tokens etc. for
        It might be worthwhile seeing if there are any affiliate type offers for that.

        Another option would be something along the lines of game strategy guides. Perhaps even offer ad space to new game designers who want new players

        well done on doing the hard part and getting that traffic though

    you could also offer games people can play on their computers. Many are similar to their favorite FB games.
