Try adding an adsense block within each post. I think the 336x280 converts pretty well within posts

Do you just do adsense or some affiliate offers. I would think that you could find something relavent to your blog and offer it. Getting pennies to send them away just doesn't make sense to me?

I would advise adsense as well. I'm doing pretty well with adsense lately, even with the Panda updates and such. It's fairly easy to setup and doesn't require much after.

Thanks

Go with a simpler cleaner theme. I can barely read your header with the emboss affect..

There's little money in the gaming niche in Adsense..

But I would write more articles about game hints, cheats, walkthroughs.

It will drive more quality traffic.

As most iphone app game developers are desperate for sales you might consider offering advertising via a plugin to game owners.

So my advice would be..

#1. Change the theme to one that's easier to read and navigate.
#2. Add more adsense units
#3. Add more content related to hints, cheats, walkthroughs
#4. Add a banner ad plugin to accept advertising, and link to your favorite apps via itunes affiliate link in the meantime via the plugin.
- Thanks

Hey, I think you should do what your review videos you embed on your website do.

Make YOUR OWN review videos on youtube and fill them with the relevant key words to get traffic to them. You see the first video review on the top of the page, the sims 3 one, has 40thousand hits. Now you say your getting a 100 visitors a day,

If you had your own review videos on youtube with your website link in the description do you think that would increase your traffic? Now I know your interested in monetizing the site but by using this technique you would drive more visitors to your website so your adsense revenue would potentially increase.

You would also earn adsense revenue from youtube too if you did your own videos. Also you could use an opt in box no your website, so visitors from your youtube videos would subscribe to your website so your building a list. You could then promote products relating to your niche.

I think once you do this, you could speak to app developers and explain how much traffic you are getting and negotiate some sort of deal where if you referred a certain people from your website to download the app, you would take a share in revenue from that app (only out of the people who downloaded from your website though! lol) because its a win win for yourself and the app developer as they are getting free exposure.

What do you think?

Hope that gets the thought process going for you

Sam

I looked at the blog and think there are several things you need to do to monetize it better. I have been doing blogs for years and make a decent income off them.

These are my suggestions.

1. Make the header more clear by getting rid of the note looking graphic in the left hand corner. It is distracting. The header should be clear with the graphic on the left and your text you have. It should quickly and clearly convey what the blog is about.

2. Remove the adsense block right below the header. You can add an adsense block as a widget on the right hand side. I would also make the Adsense block graphics only as it will make it more appealing to the user.

3. Add some Affiliate Info Product graphics to the right hand site as widgets. You can goto Clickbank.com and go int their marketplace and find several Iphone products that you can sell as an affiliate. It is easy to signup as an affiliate and link your affiliate id to their graphic on the site. I would add several of these as you can make anywhere from 50-75% of the cost of the product.

4. Amazon Store - I would add an Amazon store to the site that can be accessed via a top tab menu as discussed below. Signup as an Amazon affiliate and create a Iphone store where you can sell Iphone related items. You can also create an Amazon store widget that will highlight a few products that you can put on the right hand site of the block in a widget block.

5. Blog Top Menu - You need to create a basic menu at the top with a tab for - Products, Iphone Game Store, About, Contact.

6. Adsense in posts - You can also insert adsense into some of your posts but that is your call.

7. Add A Squeeze page - Offer a free report on Iphone games and then collect and build a mail list. You can mail them weekly reviews on new games and then upsell them games and other iphone products.

This is just a few of the things you can do to monetize the site. So get started. If you dont know how to do these things, hire a Warrior in the Warrior Forum or post a job on ODesk.com or Freelancer.com to get someone to help you.

Good luck.

Thanks

Thank you,

You have the same problem I had with a comedy site. Those adsense clicks pay nothing. You have to find some better paying keywords or put some affiliate links to make a little more.

ND, I took a quick look at your home page, and I wasn't real impressed.

Your title and header promise reviews of games for the iphone, yet most of the posts on the home page are about a variety of only marginally related topics.

Truth is, it hits me like a poorly executed autoblog.

My first suggestion would be to use content that matches the promise of your URL/title/header. Tighten things up and you might get better paying ads. Right now the content is just too random.

It's been awhile since I've had an Adsense account (long story, won't bore you), but when I did, adding a rectangle or square block under the title and wrapping the opening sentences around it worked well.
- Thanks
