Hello Warriors, I own a gaming website based on online games. It gets around 1000 visits per day and around 2000 page views per day.

I make money with the website using Adsense and Infolinks. The site makes anything from $4-10 from these two sources per day. This is ok, but I employ a writer for the website that costs anywhere between $3-$9 per day. So I'm left with a small profit and sometimes even a loss every day.

I think I can make more with the site but I'm not sure how, I've already tried using PeerFly but that did not work. Please can someone help?

        Yeah but if you think about it, the people coming to your site obviously like gaming. So you would be hitting the right target market.

        Thats the only suggestion I have

          if adsense doesn't work for you, maybe you wanna try CPM (cost per thousand impressions) ads instead they might pay more and since you have a gaming niche + decent traffic im sure people would pay to host ads on your site monthly.

          Checkout buysellads.com

            The problem is, my ALEXA is high. They wont accept me yet, I need to wait for my alexa to get lower, plus my site has only been up since august 1st 2012 so its new.

              You can pay people to juice up your Alexa. That's how people on Flippa do it

    Before you go venturing away from what you are currently doing I would improve your site especially if you are in the gaming niche. 1000/2000 doesn't show much engagement with your traffic, more importantly if you are heading into the BSA style arena your Alexa ranking is critical due to this is what many use to decide if to spend money for ads on your site.

      My alexa ranking is about 2 million, its going down though. The site has only been around for 2 months.

      Try adsense - I had a site that I thought nobody would click on the ads and after I put adsense up I made consistent money every day until I got hit with the EMD penalty.

        Adsense is definitely worth looking into

          If you read the OP it states he is using Adsense at this moment.

      Over 80% of my traffic is from social networks. I don't rely on google.
