Value of Alexa < 100,000

I have a forum with Alexa less than 100k, it is a PR3 and averaging 95k visits per month.. ( www.mapforums.com )

What do you think I should be making per month from it?

What would you try to maximize revenue? Google Adsense, sure, I am doing that, but what would be another suggestion given the site characteristics above to try make the most money? i.e. possible make more than I'm doing from Adsense?

Thanks,
Eric

    That actually, depends on the content, I am giving a quick look at your site, but not a deep one.

    I would recommend running a Leads offer related to your subject, and targeting larger audience in the higher paying end of the world hehe

    I think you have a nice traffic to your website .

    There are different ways to monetize your website .

    But , two ways I recommend are

    1. Selling advertisement space ;

    2. Running a CPA offer related to your website and easy to convert offers .

    I hope it helps .

      I was hoping someone would tell me something simple like for my site TribalFusion is definitely the way to go compared to Adsense or something like that. Actually I think it might be because the cpc rates with adsense on my site due to the general nature of the topics is very low... or at least run one banner position with TribalFusion. I used them before and it wasn't bad.

      However you did give me some ideas. I could have a page to capture consulting or training requests and then forward those leads to a local consulting company I know.. or act as a "pre-sales" person for them and take a commission.

    Hey Eric,

    I did not look into your website much, but I noticed that you had a banner... If that is your own banner and you are trying to get traffic to another site... Or even if it is an aff link... You may want to consider doing somthing a little differant, You could probibly get in touch with a network that would pay you for impressions... If you pretty much know that you are going to have about 100k visitors, and you are getting paid 1 penny ( probibly less than that ) per view, and you have a banner on more than one page then there you go! There are several of these type of networks.


    Thanks,


    Micah Rush,

    Also if you do try CPM Banners don't sugn up with low end companies as most of them have like 20 iframes hidden in their banners and this will just slow down the loading time of your website.
