If it's a forum style thing then discussion systems with a high number of pageviews per unique visitor (vbulletin/reddit/etc) will generally have very poor advertising revenue.
Maybe you need to look at a different model though ? Sort of like reddit gold, premium memberships, or some other services that may somehow add value to your site ? It's often surprising how many people are willing to pay $2-$10 per month for something!
If you really mean 4-5m million visits (and not pageviews) I'd love to take a look and see if I can help you figure out some sort of solution. Send me an email (addrress is on my profile).
- phoboslab 14y agoThere's no email address on your profile :) The site is http://pr0gramm.com/ http://pr0gramm.com/ (NSFW) - mostly german visitors and yes, it's 4-5m visits, not pageviews. It's kinda impossible to define what a "pageview" is on that site anyway.
- ashray 14y agoWhoops! Added in my email address :) Cool site btw, IRC still has some pretty weird stuff going around :P
- gabemart 14y agoHave you considered partnering with a company that would play off the kind of irreverent content IRC carries? The company TshirtHell.com came to mind as (IIRC) they've fostered controversy in the past. You do something like every xth image on your site is the image from one of their Tees with a referral link to buy as the source. You could tweak x to find the right balance between annoying and profitable.
- socialist_coder 14y agoA lot more Hitler related images than I would expect. I didn't think Germans appreciated that type of humor (my wife is German).
- r888888888 14y agoI run a similar semi-pornographic site. The problem is payment gateways like Paypal do not like sites with adult content, and traffic typically isn't high enough to justify splurging on a merchant account.
