Help with my website guys

21 replies
Hello guys i need your help .

My website is a 80 days old PR 4 website with traffic from 1.5k a day to 5 k.

Here is how much traffic i had in april for example:


My questions are :

How do i best monetize my website ? my first month with adsense i made 5 $ ,
second month ive made 14 , etc .
So it is growing yes , but slowly and little.
I made the website PR 4 in only 2 months and a half but i only get like max 40 visits a day from google , so what to do next to increase ?
I know probably most of you will say try to rank for keywords with low competition and high traffic , but a keyword with 1000 queries a month its nothing for a niche like this .
What steps should i do next? i mean with seo .
Cheers and thanks for the reply.

      If you are only making $14 in a month, then you are not going after the right traffic. You need traffic that has a high CPC with High Competition (meaning advertisers).

        Yes but Google is adding the ads using crawllers and its all automated right ?

        What can i do to have the right traffic? with high CPC?

    Joint venture.

    Edit: I don't know how you've managed to generate so much traffic so fast but I guess with a couple of good offers and great squeeze pages you'll build yourself a nice little list quickly.

    Do you use Facebook ? Then you can make money just by inviting people to a Facebook group ! It's called the Instant Income System. How cool is that?

      I have 3 ad spaces on the website , can do more but i guess this is enough , should i use 1 ad space to make a list and sell clickbank products?

      Thanks Nick.

        Well, without knowing what the site looks like and what it is about it's difficult to say what you can do... Whatever you offer it has to be in line with the main subject of your website. Also, how do you get these visitors? I.e. are they targeted, what are they looking for? The first thing to do is to know your visitors.

          the website is in my signature and the visitors come from social sites , SU , TUMBLR , twitter , facebook , link exchange sites .

          I guess most of them are targeted yes.

    If the website you are talking about is the one in your signature, it is going to be difficult.

    It is tough to make income from those type of sharing websites because people (like myself) just scroll through them without clicking on the ads.

    I don't believe there is much you can do besides increasing CTR somehow and of course, increasing traffic.

      Yes ofc increasing traffic is good for any kind of website , but it can't be the only thing that i can do .

    I agree with Mike it's probably not going to be easy... It'd be a shame to waste such a huge traffic though (to me 1.5k a day IS huge! I've got an average 70 visitors per day...).
    Amazon maybe? Just a guess. Or if you can think of something you could offer them for free - with signup - as I said you would probably generate a nice list. Assuming you can think of something that could push that kind of public to sign up. I usually have them go though an OTO (One Time Offer) after making them sign up it's been giving some results to me but in your case I don't know if that'd work - as it all depends in your public, those who sign up on my opt-in pages are already interested in what I have to offer.

    The type of website you have, you should try youtube. There are lots of channels that are big with comedic content. You should start there. Partner up and subscribe with similar channels to get your channel in the spotlight. You can make video montages of the funny pics or something similiar with commentary and special effects. There are many directions to take the idea but you should get targeted traffic that way.

    Hi again,

    You could also have another problem... [Invalid] Markup Validation of http://lolmode.com/ - W3C Markup Validator

    You've got a lot of corrections to make on that website, these errors may generate display problems for some visitors.

    Apparently the website's made with WordPress (I've looked at the source it's quite easy to see). Maybe try another template (it's possible a lot of those errors are emanating from your template, just a guess I haven't looked at it in details).
    If you need someone to help you correct all this then it's probably a question to ask on the website programming board.

    Search engine optimization is about ways to get your website to the top of search engines. This cannot be stressed enough. You can do this by generating useful content like articles and blogs, by social networking and the development of multimedia. This sounds easy but it’s a lot of hard work. Still, you can also strategically spread your content in different websites while keeping your target niche in mind.

    How are you getting your website traffic? If you're getting 1,500 hits per day, you should at least be able to convert 1% of your visitors. In fact, if you only got 500 hits per day,, you should be able to start earning some money. But making less than $20 a month?... doesn't add up.
