I run this site:
http://isitnormal.com http://isitnormal.com
It gets quite a bit of traffic, mostly from search, but it has proven very hard to monetize. Tried adsense, but my content was too risque for them. Was using an ad network called clicksor for a while, but their ads are very intrusive and didn't perform well enough to justify the bad user experience. I even tried the adult friend finder affiliate program for my "unsafe" content, but it performed absolutely horribly.
Would love to hear more ideas from the HN crowd. How does one go about finding private advertisers without a salesforce?
- tannerk 18y agoDude your problem is not ad networks, rather the monetizing strategy. Traffic is huge, but comes from 600 some search terms / phrases (very, very defragmented). I’d group all search term based on similarity. Find yourself some kick ass affiliate offers to go along with each visitor group. Serve the ads accordingly, instead of relying on Google welfare. Based on what I’ve tried and seen, you should be able to get $20/25 CPM at minimum.
