How to monetize 90 000 pageviews a month?

Make sure you have your adsense units are placed in optimal spots.

For example: Since you have a lifestyle blog, I'm assuming you have a large image at the beginning of your post.

Put a 728x90 below it before any text and if you dare put one above it as well.

Then put another 728x90 at the end of the post.

If your post width cant accommodate those size ads, go into your code in your wp editor and make the post width long enough to accommodate them.

If your sidebar is at least 300px wide, put a 300x600 above the fold on the sidebar.

Unless the bulk of your traffic is coming from non-top tier countries, this should do better than pennies per day.

There are other publisher networks that do well at the end of posts like content.ad. Probably can get you another $5 CPM.

Then there are affiliate products - you will need to figure out what they want either by surveying them or by trial and error and by paying attention to what type of content they engage with the most.

Also, build a list if you can.

Plus 90K page views per month is enough to do at least $50 a day and then some based on what your Adsense RPM/CPM can be if your ad units are in the best spots for your site and you run at least 1 or 2 other publisher network ads on your site.

This is all arbitrary advice btw as I don't even know what your site is and what it looks like.

Never stop testing, that's the key!

Are you even sure that Adsense is the best way to monetize the site? Have you considered other options?

Once you settle on an approach then it's time to start testing within that specific method. If you go for ad space, continuously test locations, ad sizes, color schemes, etc. Treat it kind of like an A/B split test within Adwords, create a new contender each week and let the winner go on.

I agree with those pro idea above and yes you should place adsense smartly,,and it come with hows you content quality and relatives fro that google will back up you ,,and get there support too call them adsense support stuff might could give you legit idea too

If your site is English and your alexa rank is under than 100k then you can simply go to buysellads.com and sign up there as a publisher. You can sell you ad spaces there. From $1/1k visitors to $5/1k visitors per each ad space. You can define different price for different ad spaces. For example for a 125*125 in home page $2/1k but for a big banner in header $5+/1k.

Another way which will work as well on your site with these traffic is CPA. Go to Search and Compare CPA Offers, Affiliate Programs - Affplus and search for offers related to your traffic. For example I search "lifestyle" and see many results. Choose the best offers and join the networks provide those offers. Then place ads of these offers in your site or in your content or in newsletters and etc.

Don't hesitate to ask your questions.

Without knowing more I'd say "Lifestyle" is pretty broad. Is your site devoted to a particular lifestyle? For example, single women under 30. Or new moms, or pop culture babes, or whatever. It might be easier to suggest something knowing what you've got.

Guys . . . thank you so much for your suggestions. I will get to working right now.

The Alexa rank for my site is around, 120K but it has been dropping on a daily basis. By the end of the month I have no doubt it will be below 100K. When I tried, BuySellAds they told me they want around 500K.

Maybe its because the bulk of my traffic is South Africa.

Yes, lifestyle is broad. my blog covers : health, relationships, self development, a bit of travel and entertainment.

Hope that clarifies it even more!

Here we go with this again. For the 1000th time, AdSense has interest-based advertising. Visitors see targeted ads regardless of your niche. If you have quality visitors and put the ads in the right place, you will make money. So most likely, either your ads are in the wrong place, or you don't have quality traffic.

Just saw that most of your traffic is from South Africa. Hmm, maybe that's why it isn't paying as much as you would like. You aren't going to turn that lemon into lemonade unless advertisers are willing to pay for that traffic.
