Hello, can someone suggest a good ad network to monetize an EDM music related website? Adsense does not work on it, so just wondering how else can i monetize it?

    Why doesn't Adsense work for you? If you can't earn with Adsense then you will most likely earn even less with other ad networks. In that case, you should advertise relevant affiliate offers.

    But remember that entertainment related sites will usually have lower click through rates and earnings per 1000 visitors than average. One reason is that they are not too interesting for advertisers and another reason is the nature of the visitors - they don't have any problems that need to be solved, they just want to listen to the latest music video.

      I have a music related site with tons of visitors and no Adsense clicks so I agree that AdSense it's a waste of time for this type of site.

      you might try CPA offers or become an affiliate of iTunes

      Its not that Adsense doesnt work for me, it just doesnt work on this site, because it is entertainment related and its facing all the challenges that you mentioned. I thought some more trashy Celeb, Diet, etc ads would bring more than adsense?

        It could be true if your goal is to earn a quick buck. I wouldn't do it if I had intentions to make it an authority site though.

    There is a really easy way to monetise your site, join fiverr and charge people for placing reviews and articles on your site. There are tons of EDM acts out there who are after the service, they will even provide the interviews themselves.... I am a producer myself and always use fiverr... best of luck..
