Unless you amazon products are over 2K in value I wouldnt bother selling them.

You could put a amazon link on the top of the page you get most traffic to get them to click through.. for instance.. click < hyper link> THIS) for the best diets.

I would suggest Click bank for you

You can try adsense aswell...

HMA serves food supplement ads on external sites?

Maybe sell ad space to the sites ranked below you. If you do that use javascript code for the ad links so your not helping them with SEO.

reinvest your profits into backlinks!! you'll get higher rankings and moar money.

or put some banners on your site and promote CPA offers since they pay more than amazon

You could approach relevant companies directly and sell 125 x 125 banner space on a monthly basis. Give them the ranking stats and traffic details and see what happens.

And if you want to make even more money offer to design their ads for them (the outsource them on Fiverr or eLance).

Only 1k+ traffic per month?
Really not much in that, sorry to say.
All the best. Regards.

Try this ebook for getting more details about traffic generation techniques. Traffic Generation Techniques

Start with Affiliate Marketing (Clickbank, Amazon, etc.) With such a good keyword (#4!) you can earn even 1 thousand dollars per month without so much effort... Just be sure to pick up GOOD and ESTABLISHED products to promote!

But if you manage to get more people on your website, and you don't do anything against the guidelines of adsense and Google your adsense will work fine. So you have to go for it.

you can add adsense and clickbank ads

1000 a month in traffic is not a whole lot.

Most sites are lucky if they earn $5 per 1000 PAGE VIEWS.


focus on getting more traffic first.

- my 2 cents

unless your site can sell things worth $1000s of dollars with that many visitors you wont make much. I am getting about $2.50 from every thoudsnd visitors through adsense. You really need more visitors.

Had a similar problem social demon,

Drop Adsense and Amazon. The most success I had was with Adsense and results were minimum at best even after driving 6K visits to 1 post last year via content syndication.

What I've done now is switch out monetization with advertisements from BSA (BuySellAds.com) which is what I'd recommend doing.

Sold my 1st ad last month so I think:
(a) Selling advertising and
(b) Creating a product or membership site around the site is a good way to go.

Once in a while you'll also have people approaching you for contextual links especially if your domain has a high PR (PageRank) so I guess selling links "unofficially" would be (c)

Haven't started with (b) Own product for the site yet but as far as (a) selling advertising goes:

1) Try to build a social gathering around your website especially on Twitter since BSA allows you to sell Tweets.

2) Give your advertisers the best spots and tell them that when you create the ads at BSA and these are:
i) 300x250 spots above the fold top right (Selling this one at the moment for $29 PM)
ii) 250x250 contextual banner ads in the top left of every post ($49 PM - Gets a lot of clicks but no buyers yet)

Also make sure to add your traffic stats on a separate page yoursite.com/advertise. You can use seethestats.com for that, so advertisers can actually see the traffic you're getting via pie charts.

So in a nutshell:
- Add an advertising page on your site and add traffic stats from seethestats.com
- Sign your site up to BSA (BuySellAds) = Short term monetization goal with advertisers and
- Go long term with your OWN product + membership site. Build a list, survey them and build a product around that.

Hope that helps.

Greattt advises. So many thanks...
