Hey, I run an ad tech company. Our targets for US traffic are about $10 USD per thousand page views. This is multiples more than what you would get from AdSense, plus we help with strategy and integration.
Besides that, the author did mention several things he tried besides ad monetization. I think the most effective thing would have been to either find an opportunistic brand that wants to advertise here (like a maritime company or something) for like $25 CPM+, or to quickly find somebody to sell it to if you have those kinds of connections that trust you already. Lots of people trying to build businesses based off of a network of "micro sites".
- tomjohnneill 6y agoDamn I wish you hadn't posted. Ah well.
- kevinstubbs 6y agoLOL, interesting response. Well feel free to reach out to me (check my profile) and let me know why. I'm very curious :)
- artembugara 6y agoI think it's because he is the creator of that website. And he missed all that value.
- soared 6y ago$10 rpm, lol what do you only accept finance and law blogs?
- kevinstubbs 6y agoAh I wish, those would get far far higher. No this is what we see at typical online newspapers from purely remnant advertising (not taking into account direct sales).
- rcar1046 6y ago$10 PAGE RPM is the key here people. Not a great metric to go by. Ad impression RPM is the number to compare. I'd be interested to know the average number of ads/page you need to display to achieve a $10 rpm. At any rate, you can get that on AdSense no problem with very little hassle and net 30 payments.
- pitchups 6y agoWe run a few high traffic websites, and would be great to monetize our US traffic at $10 cpm. But your profile link to your LinkedIn page returns a Page not available error. Please get in touch - would be great to chat.
