Help with Monetizing my Site

23 replies
Hey Guys,
I've had a Spanish website in the dating niche for the past 6 years. I have been running Adsense which pays very little. My website currently get's an average of over 1 M page views every month consistently. Can someone please guide me how can I monetize the site better. I currently make about $100 - $150 a month which is nothing. I'm sure there can be a way to make more than that. I do offer upgraded memberships but I hardly get few subscriptions a month. I'm not too worried about that, I'm sure as the site get's busier it will get better but in the mean time I will nice to make some money. Any suggestions?

    More details about your website would help people figure out ways to help you. You could sell direct ad space, with 1M views you should be able to get more money out of PPC than just $100. Maybe think about selling some type of digital product or service, possibly private coaching.

  • Fazthereat,

    Aside from renting out private ad space -- An option is to display ad banners of relevant affiliate products.
    • You can test out site-wide and subscriber-email ad displays.
    >> And, you can do this by signing up as an affiliate of any one or more of Spain's top 5 shopping websites.

    The impression pay rate is lesser as you would mostly be getting Spanish people right?

    Having a subscription model can be good. But what are the incentives that you offer for the subscription?

    My website currently get's an average of over 1 M page views every month consistently......I do offer upgraded memberships but I hardly get few subscriptions a month. I'm not too worried about that, I'm sure as the site get's busier it will get better
    You have 1 million page views each month and you barely get any subscriptions...and you're not worried about that? I feel there is something seriously wrong with that logic. If your strategy is not able to convert more than a couple subscriptions out of 1 million views, then I'm not sure why you feel 2 or 5 or 10 million more page views will change that conversion rate?

    If you're getting 1 million views per month, that's great. You're definitely doing something correct in directing traffic to your site. As others have said though, without more details, it's tough to offer suggestions on how to increase your conversion rate or better monetize the site.

    There are many affiliate programs on dating, you can check Clickbank.com, there are many dating products that are converting very well. Even if you're getting 10 million page view, you will still be making a penny with Google Adsense.
    Find good affiliate programs of dating to monetize your blog.

    in the dating niche there are many products to promote from dating offers at maxbounty and peerfly as well as clickbank. You can also venture into the risque if you so desire.

    If you are making $100.00 to $150.00 per month with adsense especially considering they pay pennies, then I would think you have good quality traffic. I would get a squeeze page set up and start collecting email addresses then start promoting

    I would start by looking at what your competitors are doing and look at trying to replicate and test to see what works best.

    If I were you, I would promote products on it and get a commission. With 1 M viewership, I am sure you can go places. Just try affiliate marketing.

    Writing and self-publishing an eBook for sale boosts profits. Also consider creating a dating course and selling as a big ticket item.

      I would sell affiliate products or do CPA marketing. There should be a lot of things available to promote in your niche.

        Agree, If there are specific types, if you want promote dating site I would go for affiliate network for adult/social instance. most the big brands have their own affiliate programs. try to check other competitor's affiliate sources. if you like something more organic maybe try to explore SEO and backlinks

  • You can join a CPA network like maxbounty or peerfly, and see if they have any dating offers that you can advertise on your site. You can also sign up for affiliate networks such as clickbank to find products in the dating niche, and advertise those on your site. You may also rent space on your site to people who want to advertise their banners, etc. Hope you find that to be useful!
