What to do with my floundering site

I've been fighting this site for several months. I like that it's getting some traffic. But I haven't been able to convert the traffic into $$$.

It was originally designed for a new Clickbank product. But when the product failed to convert, and eventually failed, I converted the site to an Adsense site.

There are only three other related Clickbank products. One is DOA, one has a horrible sales page with no gravity, and the other has a gravity just under 5.0 (but the product sales for $9.99 with a 50% commission).

The site is averaging 3,200 unique visitors per month. It is in the health niche (one specific health/medical condition).

As an Adsense site, I've been working and testing for several months trying to get the CTR up to a reasonable level. It's only been getting about 1/3 of what I would consider "not embarrassing".

So I've come to the conclusion that I should just give up on this site. I would have given up a long time ago, but the traffic is still slowly increasing. Hate to throw that away.

Besides Amazon, are there any other monetizing opportunities that I am overlooking?

    I bypass the Clickbank sales page by creating my own sales page & then sending my traffic directly to the checkout page.

    Most default Clickbank sales pages are designed to capture your traffic, instead of converting sales. Skip the default sales pages as long as the product is decent.

    Why are you giving up when the site is getting 3,200 unique visitors per month and still increasing? You can try other monetizing options such as Adsense, Amazon, E-bay and CPA Offers.

    I've never done anything with CPA, but it might be a good option for this site. But I don't have any CPA accounts and no experience with it.

    Would an option be trying to sell ad space to established CPA affiliates?

    Look! No links in my signature. This means I actually have something useful to say. I'm not just posting to be posting...
