How are you making money with mainstream sites?
I have a couple of mainstreams Sites together they hit like 150k a day but I'm just pulling in $100 from Adsense. Bandwidth is taking most of that.
Any other good programs,sponsors anything?

Ref codes are cool with me

Keep changing your filters/qualification pages until you hit a combo that pays well.

pornguy · 06-27-2005, 01:13 PM

Haven't made any money on mainstream lately. Other than by designing sites for businesses in my community.
Not a lot of money, though

sickkittens · 06-27-2005, 01:14 PM

What type of mainstream sites are you running? Mainstream is sooo broad of a word.

wjxxx · 06-27-2005, 01:14 PM

Mediaplazza ringtones and java games

BigRod · 06-27-2005, 01:16 PM

Adsense has been paying very well lately, I guess it all about the words you go after

marketsmart · 06-27-2005, 01:18 PM

Have you tried Azoogleads?

chadglni · 06-27-2005, 01:20 PM

Crossover. What type of sites?

Thrawn$ · 06-27-2005, 01:24 PM

Use Cashengines
they convert well and pay per signup

beemk · 06-27-2005, 01:25 PM

that sounds horrible for adsense. have you tried messing with the color scheme and stuff? let me see your pages i might be able to help. most of my pages have a CTR of about 20%.

20%?

My bad days with Adsense are when I get down to 55-60%

cellphonebucks i think, its one of netponds sites

SR · 06-27-2005, 01:38 PM

What kind of site is it and are you willing to sell the site?

06-27-2005, 01:39 PM

I've been making $500 or so a month just through Cafepress referrals.

Not sure if that would work for you, but I was kinda impressed.

Machete_ · 06-27-2005, 01:40 PM

If you have such a high CTR on google adsende, it must be because what is on the banner is better than what is on your site = no bookmarkers.

guess all that matter is what you get payed in the end of the day, and the ~$100 MORE than pays my BW bill

wtf are you talking about???

12clicks · 06-27-2005, 01:42 PM

http://www.claxon.com pays on CPM banners, skyscrapers, and leaderboards. I'm pretty sure they take all types of mainstream sites.

pornguy · 06-27-2005, 01:44 PM

I really need to find more time to get some main stream stuff myself.

He must do like:
- Fullscreen window
- no other outgoing link than his large google textbanner
- only 5-10 keywords on the page

Flawed logic. A surfers clicks because they are interested in learning more (inline ads in an article with great content works very well in this case). I target surfers who are in a buying behavorial mode, already have their credit cards handy and are ready to purchase something.

I use the filter list alot too, eBay and other low-bidders with rather untargeted content do not touch my sites.

Don't be jealous.

I'm not going to argue with you. I make enough with Adsense that Google sends me checks every month via UPS.

It's all about Adsense placement and banner sizes.

FilthyRob · 06-27-2005, 01:57 PM

Targetted ads taylored to your surfers will help.

Its all about contrast and placement -- test until you reach your desired point.

I usually do 7-15% CTR on my Adsense sites. I try to move traffic to other pages on my sites so I'm not really better off having a higher CTR.

What kind of CPC are you guys averaging? My very general sites usually do pretty bad, maybe 5 cents, but my best sites average over a dollar a click/
