I have a landing page for an application I've made which users then click through to navigate to other websites. This single page gets around 1-2 million views a month and I'd like to place an ad on the page if possible. However, Google AdSense denied me being that the page doesn't actually have enough content for them to automatically determine relevant ads. What other options do I have to get an ad placed onto the landing page?

  I was going to suggest it, even though I had zero success using it (as a buyer, not as a seller)

I'd try approaching app developers who have complementary titles and selling ad space to them.

  Sure, it's for a game mod I created called Cinema [1]. Here's the actual page which I display to the player when they're going to request a video to be played in-game: http://cinema.pixeltailgames.com/search.html http://cinema.pixeltailgames.com/search.html [1] http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=118824086 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=118824...

AdSense isn't always the right solution for monetization. I was about to suggest AdMob as they had a mobile web component, but looking at it now, it is all native. There are other ads providers out there that have very good fill rates, I would look at them. I am still trying to balance how much we talk about other providers on our site vs general themes which are common for all platforms.

You can also use amazon affiliate links to related games.

You could get creative, but it'd definitely involve spending some time. I'd use the space myself for building an e-mail list, Twitter following, Facebook following, or similar which could then be used to make money further down the line. I don't know much about your game mod/project but if everyone going through that page is an avid Steam user and gamer, if you could get 100k people following on Twitter, on an e-mail list, on Facebook, etc, that's a very valuable audience for many people. TL;dr - Don't let third parties advertise on the page, use the space to build your own audience, then sell advertising/make money on the back end.

Best thing you can do is create a content heavy blog type site with 10 pages or so with 500+ well written words on each page. Submit your blog type site for AdSense approval. Once you get one site approved, you have a publisher account and you can use the ad code on all sites that comply with the TOU. There is no formidable AdSense competitor or alternative.

What about amazon affiliate links for very specific products targeted at items those people hitting that page would be interested in?
